Live in fear people, live in fear.

I remember when bacteria was the big scare and now in NC restaurants have to cook all burgers to at least medium.

Is the government trying to give us cancer?

I think it has more do do with the NOx and SOx that comes from burning charcoal. At least that's what I learned this semester in my Air Quality class. Oh, and that burning wood smell people LOVE in the winter... yeah, its poisonous.


I used to only eat my beef well done, gray center on my steak... until I discovered how good it is medium! Never again will I eat a well done piece of beef (besides burger). But most of our burger is deer burger, we don't buy ground beef much.

"2. Go heavy on the marinades. Marinades don’t just make food taste good. Studies show using a marinade helps blunt the heat so fewer HCAs are formed. "

This sounds a bit rediculous. What is marinade made of? Typically butter (fat), vinegar, or tomato product. It still drips, burns, and creates smoke.

mmm venison... love it.

I cook all my beef Pittsburgh style (seared outside with rare center) but my burgers must be well done.

^^ well maybe restaurants are liable then, we should put a surgeon general's warning on all grills/meat products.

I heard this on NPR about 6 months ago and it also said sauteing stuff causes cancer too.

they suggested baking and broiling.

I think Ken and I grill and saute meat more than the other ways of cooking meat.

my grandparents lived on a farm in Elkin, NC smoking/dipping daily, and curing their own pork, eating gravy with every meal, etc. and they lived to be 95 and 97 respectively. They always said that stress is what kills you. I agree. (though obviously poor diet and smoking doesn't help)

^3 That's basically what my grandpa told the doctor and he died at about 55 years old... Told the doc he was going to keep eating his fried chicken, drinking his 2 pots of coffee a day, and smoking his pack of Marlboro Red's

I have a friend in the Marines with a lot of culinary schooling who worked as a chef in a couple of really high-end restaurants before he decided he wanted to fly jets for a living (interesting transition, huh!). He's understandably kind of a food snob about some things (and by the way, you should see his kitchen).

However, if he orders a burger, he orders it well done. He says that ground beef is fairly nasty stuff that he only eats well-done.

It's pretty universal that the better a cooking method makes food taste, the worse it is for you. See: deep frying.

Actually I didn't read the opening blurb well enough

So women who ate more meat had more cancer than those who ate less meat? What the hell has that even to do with the way the meat is cooked? It's common sense that meat is more likely to give you cancer than veggies. Hasn't stopped me from eating it yet.

Yea that's a state health thing. Places that grind their own meat can cook to order.

Red Robin does this too.

eating raw meat makes you a manly man!1 *grunt chestbeat*

...

Personally, I prefer my food to be cooked. I like a bit of pink in a good steak but I really don't see the appeal of rare burgers. Ground beef has a pretty disgusting consistency when undercooked.

I guess this means I'm gonna get cancer.

This is old as Jesus.

Cooking meat creates carcinogenic compounds called as heterocyclic amines (HCAs). The more a chunk of meat is cooked, and the higher the temperature, the more HCAs are produced. And those burnt parts are poison.

Best thing they say is to have meat in stews (because the temperature doesn't go over 100 C), but everybody likes steaks. Eating grilled/bbqed meat once in a while is not a problem. But yeah, if you eat grilled/bbqed meat all the time, you are definitely moving your grave closer to yourself.
