P.S. here's the source for those CDC figures. The important note is that it depends on which coffee brand you pick, but since I used one of the highest readings it doesn't make much difference anywayhttps://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/ChemicalContaminants/ucm053549.htm …

P.P.S. the other important thing to remember is that acrylamide is found in most cooked starchy foods so you could potentially get dangerous amounts if you eat a lot of burned things but the claims from California are specifically about coffee not all food

P.P.P.S forgot to mention that coffee contains caffeine, which in doses of as little as 50 cups is enough to kill you so "probably impossible" is generous here

Final note: this thread doesn't talk about skin exposure to acrylamide, which is different. But unless people are rubbing thousands of cups of coffee on their skin each day, I reckon we're alright there too

Pretty sure that risks caffeine toxicity first.

Heck you’d be into water toxicity before you got to cancer risk, if you did it with decaf.

500 cups a day of pretty much anything is going to be a health risk.
