Can toast cause cancer?: BBC News Review

Improve your English language with this free lesson from BBC Learning English. Government scientists are warning that overcooked foods, such as potatoes, toast, crisps and waffles could increase the risk of developing cancer.
The Food Standards Agency says a potentially harmful compound called acrylamide is produced when starchy foods are roasted, fried or grilled for too long at high temperatures.
Neil and Catherine look at the language the world's media is using to discuss this story - and show you how you can use it in your everyday English.
Vocabulary:
over______
used as a prefix to mean 'too much'
potential
describes something that is possible in the right circumstances
browned off
annoyed
