Is Acrylamide carcinogenic? Why?
Acrylamide is a Michael acceptor. All Michael acceptors are potentially carcinogenic because DNA can act as a Michael donor. This Michael reaction can damage the DNA, which can ultimately develop into cancer. Of course how well a certain Michael acceptor reacts with DNA depends on its chemical structure (i.e. the carbon chain and other function groups as well as its conformation), and hence not every Michael acceptor is equally carcinogenic.

If you worry about eating too much French fries I would first be concerned with my caloric  and sodium intake. For that there is solid evidence that it greatly reduces human health if taken in excess.
