It seems "cooking" meats can cause cancer!
It has been said, barbecuing causes cancer?
Eating charred hot dogs or hamburgers (or anything else) cooked on a charcoal grill (not a gas grill) can cause cancer.
Apparently there is a chemical reaction that takes place when the meat is burned.
It's not enough that you eat right, don't smoke, exercise, etc. Now they say you can get cancer if you burn the frigging burgers.
Grilled meat contains known carcinogens. Grilling meat produces dangerous chemicals: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs). In large enough quantities they will definitely cause cancer in humans .
For that matter, you make PAHs when you burn a piece of toast.
Also in contrast to PAHs, HCAs are not only produced during grilling — they can be created when cooking in an ordinary oven or frying pan if you turn the heat up high enough. (Like when we sear meat
)
So slow barbecue, and or cooking in general, which involves lower temperatures and minimal flame exposure, seems to be less problematic.
Anyway, I've said it for 30 years, "RESEARCH" causes Cancer!
