Its amazing to know all the things that are harmful to your health! I do agree that one has to be concious about what they put in ther stomach as you are a product of what you eat. However, I do believe we are now going overboard with some food issues. It is nowonly left for people to be resigned to a notion that you stop eating, roll over and die because everything is bad for your health! People have been eating burnt meat for centuries and have enjoyed long life, cutting out a littleburnt offering that is enjoyed 'now and then' out of your diet is like taking away the essence of living. Something has to take us home; worring about everyting you eat is not going to prolong your life as you can deny yourself of a few delicables you like and die of an accident, lighting or a simple fall; fancy that! Don't worry, be happy.

Perhaps it may be the fumes from the lighter fluid people squirt on the coals that supposedly makes chargrilled meats less than good for you to consume.

But, I say, better to eat your meat well done than raw or undercooked because you may get worms and parasites (or is that what colon cleanses are for? :)

Besides, raw meat isn't Kosher, for you're eating the lifeblood of the animal. Just some food for thought.

It would be interesting if they did this study using only organic meat and
foods. I wonder if the results would be alot different-is it the red
meat, the stuff in the meat, or the HFCS sauces? Are there carcinogens in regular meat that are aggravated by grilling?

This article is frustratingly vague. It's not clear as to whether they are referring to well-done meat (which is how you're supposed to cook it for safety) or to all meat that is cooked with high heat.
What if you broil your meat until it's rare or medium rare?
Couldn't the cancer link also have something to do with the HFCS barbecue sauces and marinades that most people use? Bah!

A National US Government Research Laboratory, specializing in weapons research, several years ago, concluded the one of the most toxic chemical compound chains they could come up with (presumably for the cloak and dagger dark ops industry) could easily be derived from BURNT MEAT.

I thought that lot of smoked meats are cooked with indirect heat over low heat for long time. Would this cause the HCA problems with the meats? What about drying the meats with no heat? The Indians would use the sun to dry the meats from my understanding of old methods of meat preparation.
