Is There a Link Between<br />Grilled Meat and Cancer? Research suggests that there<br />may be a relationship between<br />grilling meat and cancer risk. The grill marks left on meat are the<br />result of heterocyclic amines and<br />polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals have been found to cause changes in DNA, which can increase the risk of cancer. These chemicals are present in<br />beef, pork, poultry or fish cooked<br />at high temperatures. Theodore M. Brasky,<br />via HuffPost The International Agency for<br />the Research of Cancer has<br />declared processed meats as<br />a group one carcinogen.
