How to grill up less cancer [slideshow]
I have a tip for you — especially if you love your meat fresh off the grill and plan to fire it up with the family…
Even before the World Health Organization came out with news that red meat has been classified as a ‘probable carcinogen,’ researchers found evidence that cooking meat at high temperatures, like on a grill, produced carcinogens known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are linked to colorectal cancer, and they’re also found in cigarette smoke and car exhaust.
But researchers at Ohio State University have come up with an easy method to keep the great taste without the cancer: The secret is to first marinade the meat with beer before it goes on the grill.
When the scientists grilled meat that had been soaked in beer, they found that the preparation cut the formation of eight PAHs by about 50 percent. In the test, dark beer worked the best.
