BBQ might cause cancer:(

[Dizel8]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A compound formed when meat is charred at high temperatures -- as in barbecue -- encourages the growth of prostate cancer in rats, researchers reported on Sunday.

The compound, called PhIP, is formed when meat is cooked at very high temperatures, Dr. Angelo De Marzo and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore reported.

And THAT is precisely why you cook the meat "Low & Slow"... Smoked meat is NOT charred... It turns dark from the smoke, not from being burnt...

If you slow cook cancer rats, can you catch their cancer?

In a past life I was a meat cutter. We used to knock down the porcine butt (shoulder) and bovine chuck (shoulder) on the bone-in or boneless band saw. Every once in a while you would get catch a tumor on the teeth of the blade and it would spray the junk inside all over everything. No big deal, just cut out the tumor, scrape the meat and send it over to the wrapping machine.
Chew on that the next time you're sucking down a country style rib.

Exactly FalconCapt.



What Reuters was describing would more accurately be termed grilling.

Man, now I need some BBQ!

Why would getting your prostate all sweaty prevent cancer? Seems to me, if you run, you'll only die tired.

Somehow you managed to have me crack a smile 10 minutes ofter waking up and I havn't even had my coffee yet. Nice! I'm kinda wondering myself what the hell was I thinking?! I've brainwashed myself into believing that my hour long morning jog will make me immortal.

IT'S NOT A TUMMMA!
mm mm mm tumor chunks on some country style ribs. Thanks whaleroast. No bacon for me this morning.

BBQ causes prostate cancer?!?!? Just wait a week or 2, they'll tell us that BBQ prevents colon cancer. Just more evidence that the medical profession in this country, as a whole, doesn't know whether they're winding their *ss or scratching their watch. Did you know that when they tested celebrex for one purpose they found it caused heart attack, stroke, etc... But, when they tested it for something else, it didn't cause heart attack, stroke, etc...?

:laugh: One of the funnier things I've read on here:laugh:

I remember a couple decades and change ago when just about everything under the sun would supposedly cause cancer. I read in Dear Abby, of all places, that, yes, hair dye would cause cancer but you'd have to drink twenty-three 8 oz. glasses a day!! I've been on the hair-dye wagon ever since!!

Charring meat at high temps is not BBQ. Grilling is the process of charring at high temps.

Smoking is cooking at low temps for a long period.

BBQ is a device used to cook.

It's the tumor residue that give it that "special" flavor... TC

P.S.--Life's too short to not eat BBQ and drink small batch!

The only thing that has me scratching my head is why this is being reported as a new discovery. The charred flesh/cancer link was reported well over a decade ago (maybe 2). Everybody got all excited about it then, then they forgot about it. Maybe in the interim researchers decided that charred flesh cured cancer and they're changin thier minds again. Maybe the researchers at Johns Hopkins forgot that they'd already discovered this. Maybe they were't making thier quota of research breakthroughs, so decided to re-publish a paper from the 1980s, hoping nobody would remember.

You should all be thankful you dont live in France

Fact: There is no barbeque in France.

Fact: The French do not deserve barbeque.

Fact: The French prefer to eat deep-fried cow testicles and boiled snails.

Fact: If elected President, Hillary Clinton will push for a law allowing deep-fried cow testicles to be served in American restaraunts and public schools.

Fact: Gulfstream Academy is the leading supplier of barbeque-cooked crew meals to major airlines. However, they would like to provide deep-fried cow testicles and boiled snails in crew meals if Hillary Clinton is elected President.

Fact: Gulfstream Academy was recently acquired by a French corporation.

I will eat, drink and do nothing that I like, thereby guaranteeing a long and miserable life.

Apparently everything causes cancer these days, I agree with the sentiment that life is too short to go around avoiding the good things in life because some scientist found cancer in a rats behind.

 

[flydaddy0499]

Well, as I sit down tomorrow night at the Williamson Bros. joint in Marietta, GA, I will say to the server; "may I please have the biggest plate of cancer you can possibly find in the back?".

I had a thought the other day. I know, that is a dangerous thing. You can't eat beef because of Mad Cow disease. You can't eat chicken, turkey, duck or any other fowl because of bird flu. You cant eat pork because of fat and cholesterol. You can't eat fish because of pesticide runoff and mercury. You cant eat vegetables because of pesticides. You can't drink water because of pesticide runoff, mercury, and chlorine. You can't eat food suppliments and take vitamins because the only they do is give you expensive urine. You can't drink distilled water because it comes in plastic bottles, they give off PCB's and dioxins. The only thing that is safe to do is sit in the corner and wait to die. But watch out for terrorists and meteorites.

Somebody hand me a drink and a cigar.

I heard some scientist says taking a S H I T causes cancer. Guess everyone has to hold it now
