Well, David, I'd divide them into three categories. There are risks that were identified where we knew there was a risk, probably very small and something where you've got to tell people that could be a risk but we're not asking you to do anything different. And a classic example of that was acrylamide. So in about 2001, 2002, some Swedish scientists discovered that if you cook certain kinds of food, particularly starch-containing foods at a high temperature, like making chips or French fries, then you create this chemical called acrylamide which can be carcinogenic. So when you discover that do you say to people, "Stop eating chips?" Do you say to people, "Cook your chips to low temperature so they're not nice and crisp and possibly burn yourself on the fat while you're measuring the temperature?" Or do you say, "This is not a new risk, we think it's very small. Be aware of it but carry on doing what you were doing before."

According to the audio, what advice was given to people after the discovery of acrylamide in certain cooked foods?
