Thus the IARC classification of 2A, meaning it's likely that acrylamide causes cancer but we aren't sure if it does yet Which might be because of the dose
You see, the rats in the original studies that I linked above were getting quite a lot of acrylamide
The lowest amounts where cancer was detected are about 1 mg/kg. Extrapolating to the average(ish) 75kg adult human, that's 75mg
How much acrylamide is in your coffee? The CDC has some figures from the early noughties that put it at ~300ppb (parts per BILLION)pic.twitter.com/hJFJYN25L1
That means that every gram of dry coffee beans has ~roughly~ 0.0000003 grams of acrylamide in it
Now, brewed coffee probably has even less. But let's take that 0.0000003 grams as the figure that you'd find per milliliter of coffee

Let's do the maths on this 75mg figurehttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/981328016176328704 …
Health Nerd added,
The 0.0000003 grams figure converts to 0.0003 milligrams 75/0.0003 = 250,000 That means that using this estimate, you'd have to drink 250,000ml of coffee to get 75mg of acrylamide
