Subject: Re: Barbecued foods and health risk
From my reading of the popular, and scientific, literature, I think that the
benzopyrene-from-burned-fat problem is probably real but very small compared to
other kinds of risks. (This type of problem also occurs with stove-top pan
grilling.) One possible remedy I have read about is to take some vitamin C with your meal of barbecue (or bacon, e.g.). This MAY make sense because vit. C
is an antioxidant which could counteract the adverse affect of some of the
chemicals in question. Bon Apetit!
