Tumor meets Grill

Is grilling linked to cancer?
Grilling is a low-fat method of cooking, says Elizabeth Schaub, registered and licensed dietitian on the medical staff at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano. But we have to be aware that it can increase our risk of cancer if we eat grilled meats too often.
It s true those juicy burgers, especially the charred ones, can contain cancer-causing carcinogens. When you grill meat some of the fat does drip down on to the charcoal and when fat meets that really high temperature it develops a carcinogen and the smoke carries the carcinogen back up to the meat which can be dangerous for our bodies, explains Schaub.
