Red face Barbecue Meats Linked With Prostate Cancer

I heard this on Tom Joyner this morning.


Barbecue meats linked with prostate cancer

Article Excerpt

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.
