Cook Meat: Lab Dishes and Health Risks

cook meat: When cooked at high temperatures or over open flames, according to accumulating evidence, compounds in red and processed meats undergo biochemical reactions that produce carcinogenic compounds capable of altering the eater's DNA. Most of the research has been conducted in lab dishes and in animals, according to Hamilton Spectator. But some emerging evidence is starting to connect the dots to human risks of cancer, too. But this all-American ritual may also raise health risks particularly if the grill is loaded up with hamburgers and hotdogs. Lest you feel that science threatens everything you enjoy in life, experts say it's not necessary to give up meat or grilling altogether. There are also ways to cook meat that produce fewer carcinogens. Grilled vegetables don't harbour the same risks. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
