Now, most of the frozen items contain preservatives like corn syrup, which is made up of glucose, have been noted as carcinogenic substances. Acrylamide, another substance found in cooked frozen food, also exhibits carcinogenic tendencies. Also, studies have shown that determined that frozen hot dogs and sausages increase the risk of contracting cancer by more than 65%.
