    The effect we see in studies is likely an average of individuals who are strongly and not strongly affected.

    Interesting that the cooking temperature and amount of char are more important than how well done meats are. Just grilling longer at lower temperatures avoids production of carcinogenic compounds.

      The bottom line for consumers is to watch what you eat and how it’s cooked. Avoid frying and if grilling, reduce the temperature and don’t char food. This time of year what with people cooking outside. We need to be extra carful. Thanks Doc.

        I would always avoid using anything that produces Hydrocarbon.
        A chemical compound consisting only of the elements: carbon & hydrogen. Hydrocarbons, which are combustible, are the main components of fossil fuels, which include petroleum, coal and natural gas.

            I just had colonoscopy done and was told by the surgeon and my oncologist that there is nothing you can do to make colon cancer happen or to make polyps go away. They are the direct result of aging.
            If it runs in your family, it's becasue of genetics. Not because you like your steak well done or raw.
