Cancerous Barbequing
At a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research last week, researchers reported that there is a link between prostate cancer and barbecue meats.
According to the Reuters report of the presentation, a compound formed when meat is charred at high temperatures — as in barbecue — encourages both the initiation and the growth of prostate cancer in rats.
This is certainly something to heed as we head into warmer weather and barbecue season.
