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!!
