Yes. It has been there since we began to cook food. This is not news.

Compared to the other risks associated with cooked foods (quinolines, etc.), the overall stochastic risk is miniscule relative to other insults you may endure in a given day.

See: Maillard reaction, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction

You also get acrolein via dehydration of glycerol liberated from TAGs...it is responsible for the delicious burning fat smell on the grill and classified as a war gas by Sartori.

Bon appetit,
