I learned something interesting recently in my environmental health class — that when
heated under high heat, ALL
high carbohydrate foods as part of the Maillard
reaction produce something called acrylamide and glycidamide.
The effects of very short wavelength UV on photochemical
reactions in the stratosphere leading to
heating at very
high altitudes is something that is
under appreciated in the climate science community but the meterologists would have likely let them know when to look for these affects.
