The number 1 carcinogenic meat that WHO warns of
In family gatherings, parties between colleagues and friends, it is undeniable that barbecue parties are always the number 1 choice. When hot, fragrant grilled meat is served, even people Even the most strict in eating and drinking is hard to refuse.
Many people commented: The reason why grilled meat has a delicious taste is because during the baking process, the fat in the meat flows down creating smoke. Smoke clings to the surface of the meat, increasing the characteristic flavor of grilled meat. But they don’t know that, that is what makes grilled meat the most cancerous meat.
– Grilled meat is not good for heart health:
According to Associate Professor Nguyen Thi Lam (Deputy Director of the National Institute of Nutrition), when meat is grilled at high temperature, the protein in meat will become more indigestible. That is why we often feel full and uncomfortable after eating grilled meat. Besides, when grilled at high temperature, the fats in meat will not be good for the heart. People who eat a lot of grilled meat and often can lead to high blood fat.
Grilled meat may increase the risk of cancer:
Talking about barbecue, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Hong Con (Faculty of Chemistry – University of Natural Sciences, VNU) said: In the process of grilling meat will produce many half-burnt organic products that can cause cancer. Especially PHA (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon), which can attach to food through smoke.
During the charcoal grilling process, the fat of the meat flowing into the fire not only produces smoke, but also produces carcinogen called benzopyrene. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified this substance as group 1 carcinogen to humans with clear evidence of harmful effects on health. Benzopyrene can be abbreviated as BaP, it is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.
In addition to benzopyrene, barbecue can also appear 2 carcinogens, heterocyclic amines and nitrosamines.
What is the healthiest way to prepare meat?
Grilling meat over charcoal causes the formation of carcinogens so the best way to prevent them is to change the cooking method. Steaming, boiling food is still highly appreciated by experts in protecting health and fighting cancer.
According to the recommendation of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Hong Con, if you want to eat grilled meat, you should limit the grilling on charcoal and you can use an electric grill or an oven. This way of grilling can both control the temperature well, and avoid the fat from the meat flowing into the charcoal fire. When grilling, you should prioritize lean meat over fatty meat because the amount of fat that melts into the coals will easily create carcinogens.
When the barbecue is burnt, cut off the burnt part or do not eat the burnt pieces. The grilling time is short enough for the meat to be cooked, clean the grill, and ensure hygiene.
To ensure health, you should not eat grilled meat too often, it is best to eat only once a week with an amount of about 100g of meat/time.
When eating grilled meat, try not to eat meat that is too hot because it will not only damage the mucous membrane in the esophagus but also cause burns in the mouth. Furthermore, it can provoke mucosal hyperplasia, scarring and inflammation.
Attention should be paid to the balance and variety of the diet. You should eat grilled meat with fresh fruits and vegetables because they are rich in fiber, which will help promote digestion, helping toxins to be eliminated quickly, not in the stomach for too long.
