Barbecue meats linked with prostate cancer

Mon Apr 3, 12:53 AM ET

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.

I agree, and marriage is the leading cause of divorce

If we don't cook meat we get disease, if we cook it, we get cancer... guess we need to go with what taste's best because we're screwed either way:tongue2: ...

Damn you exhawg just for bringing it up!

Fuck it, if I pretend I never read the article, them my body won't kow that barbeque is supposed to give me cancer, and it can just kill me the old fashioned way (arttery hardening)!

Damn liberals trying to take the fun out of barbecuing!

the only thing that doesn't cause cancer is not breathing.

Disregard, I am a tard

I say ya only live once, hell with it, enjoy yourself. In fact I am on my way out the door right now for some grease burgers and hookers.

Good, all the whining pussies will stop eating barbecue, meaning...

More barbecue for ME!

The study was obviously faulted anyway. The scientists obviously didn't balance the intake of pork fat versus beef fat, which as we all know, is the key to good health.

The study found that BBQ caused cancer in rats. Well, I'm not a rat so I figure I've got nothing to worry about. Fire up the grill, boys!

Good news guys...word is out that consuming large amounts of beer negates the additional risk of cancer.

Giggity giggity
