Air fryers cause cancer

Publisher’s rating: No, they do not, they are better than frying on a pan using oil or cooking over an open flame

The review explains that acrylamide can form in many foods cooked at high temperatures and that researchers have not established conclusive evidence linking dietary acrylamide to cancer in humans. It says air frying can reduce oil compared with deep-frying, while advising against overcooking food to dark-brown colors and recommending varied cooking methods.
