摘要：Introduction. Acrylamide is formed in several foods during high-temperature processing. In view of reports written aboutthe neurotoxic, genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of acrylamide, it was considered that the presence of this substance infood products might pose a risk for human health. Currently, according to EU Commission recommendations, the contentof acrylamide in food should be monitored.Objective. The aim of this work was to analyze the food preferences of youth and students from medical schools in Radom,central-eastern Poland, as the most frequent precipitantsas in the field of food products that may be a significant sourceof acrylamide in the diet. Furthermore, an attempt was made to determine the level of knowledge of the population in thefield of acrylamide.Materials and method. The research was conducted by questionnaire. The study was based on the answers of 227respondents. The survey was carried out by direct contact with an interviewer from February – June 2012.Results. Analysis of the study population shows that women consume more coffee than men. In addition, adults over 25years old consumed the largest quantity of coffee; it can therefore be assumed that it is a significant source of acrylamidein their bodies. However, even young people under 17 declared that they consume coffee every day (20%).Conclusions. Due to the adverse effects of this compound it is important to reduce the level of acrylamide in foodproducts. A few people in the population (7%) had heard of acrylamide previously, but none of them had any knowledgeof its occurrence and formation. It is necessary to take strong action to change attitudes towards acrylamide and attemptto introduce ways to reduce this compound in the diet, for example, by appropriate selection of products in the daily dietand appropriate means of thermal preparation of products at home.
