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.
Their study, presented at a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, may help explain the link between eating meat and a higher risk of prostate cancer.
It also fits in with other studies suggesting that cooking meat until it chars might cause cancer.
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.
It appears to both initiate and promote the growth of prostate cancer in rats, they said.
"We stumbled across a new potential interaction between ingestion of cooked meat in the diet and cancer in the rat," De Marzo said in a statement.
"For humans, the biggest problem is that it's extremely difficult to tell how much PhIP you've ingested, since different amounts are formed depending on cooking conditions."
For the study, Yatsutomo Nakai and other members of De Marzo's team mixed PhIP into food given to rats for up to eight weeks, then studied the animals' prostates, intestines and spleens. They found genetic mutations in all the organs after four weeks.

:O
though for the smell alone it may be worth it :lol

True BBQ is a low-heat, long, slow cook. Certainly less than 220 degrees.
Perhaps these uninitiated researchers meant to say "grilling".

Sun causes cancer too, yet many seek the sun on vacation.

If a man lives long enough he will eventually develope prostate cancer.
The prostate is the ultimate death timer. If you manage to avoid dying from all other causes, your prostate will eventually become cancerous and kill you.
Welcome to life on earth, for what its worth.......

isnt the prostate the little dude that generates the sensation known as orgasm?
Would suck to lose that :cry
-
After having had one prostate exam, I can be aSSURED that I'm gonna die someday of prostate cancer, becuse I'm never having another one:eek:
-
burning food is bad ... espesially fats and oils....
you never want to smoke an oil....diffrent oil's smoke at diffrent tempratures....
same goes for fat basicly..... if you burn it, it alters the structure.
Burning is not good .....
I've heard even burning starches like hashbrowns can be bad and creates a carcenogen.
But who wants a well done steak anyway? When I eat red meat I like it with a little red left in it.

BINGO! We Have a WINNAR!
Give the man a Cigar!
As for the study.
After careful consideration. I've come to the conclusion that if they study anything long enough they will find out its no good for you.
I hearby proclaim
Living, to be hazardous to your health

Quite right Virgil. We must now prosecute parents for inflicting a deadly condition upon their children It has been clinically proven that every child born has in fact been sentenced to death from having been infected with life from their parents. Think of the children!! We must save the children by sterilizing all parents or potential parents.
