Well that sounds like a load of bollocks
The carcinogenic part is true unfortunately. Frying foods results in chemical reactions that produce thousands of new molecules some of which could be carcinogenic, including acrylamide. We don't even characterize the complete set of molecules, we just lump them all together under names like "caramelization" or "Maillard reaction". But fuck it, if I knew all I had to eat for the rest of my life was raw broccoli, that's not a life worth living.
