It is more complicated than he is making out. Per usual. Anything that is blackened or caramelized is going to contain carcinogens. Dunno about cranberries, but they also contain anthocyanins. Which is an anti-oxidant. Containing carcinogens and chemicals that fight cancer is pretty common in the food chain. Don't forget tomatoes. I am grateful that I love tomatoes because there have been several incidents of cancer in my family. There was an issue of Science back in the 1980s that published a groundbreaking study on the issue, The cover had these alternating red and green diamonds. The green ones said 'eat', the red ones said 'die'... They should republish it. People need to know. Formaldehyde has no anti-oxidant properties. Yeah, I didn't think it did.

>> Formaldehyde has no anti-oxidant properties. It is beside the point. The point is that there are a very large number of chemicals (and foods) that if one is exposed to them improperly and/or excessively might show correlation with the incidence of one cancer or another. The company disagrees with the analysis that claimed it caused cancer. That analysis was flawed in that merely showing a small increase in the incidence of a cancer within a cohort does not prove what caused the cancer. Just because NIH says something may be a carcinogen it doesn't make it so.
