Immune System: Could meat be a health hazard?
The following paragraphs should help clue you in to what the experts think is significant.
Mmmm the smell of "char-grilled" steak is in the air.
Yeah...so what!
Well, could meat be a health hazard?
For years, researchers have reported that overcooking meat causes the formation of heterocyclic amines, which are known to trigger colon cancer.
The National Toxicology Program recently confirmed that some people may be at much higher risk due to a genetic trait.
Heterocyclic amines can cause DNA damage.
Your body has a number of defenses against this, and one of the most important is regulated by two particular genes (MLH1 and MSH2).
Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable.
The end result is that these individuals lack the appropriate defense against these cancer-causing agents.
But here's a better idea:
- Do not char or overcook meat
- Instead, cook meat slowly on low heat for a longer period of time
- The best and most convenient way I've ever found to cook meat (fish and poultry) is over grill using volcanic rocks as a base...
Because you're able to cook without the flame, you can control the time and temperature precisely, so its very easy to cook meat slowly at a lower temperature.
Another idea is to do an online search for "Flavorwave oven" to find numerous suppliers.
Thanks for reading...
Hopefully the sections above have contributed to your understanding of cancer.
