Reducing Cancer Danger (HCA) on Grilled Meats
This is the time of the year when we are all out in the backyard,
tossing steaks and hamburgers on the grill. In the past, news sites
and TV shows have featured stories about how meats can turn cancer-
forming by the grilling process. However, new research shows that
there may be a way to decrease this risk dramatically.
Research published in the Journal of Food Science suggests that
marinating meats may decrease the cancer-forming compounds called
heterocyclic amines (HCA), which are produced during grilling, by a
whopping 70 percent or more.
Three commercial spice-containing marinade blends (caribbean,
southwest, and herb) on round beef steaks were tested by researchers
from Kansas State University on grilled steaks. The steaks were
marinated for one hour and then grilled at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
The food scientists who published this work found that steaks
marinated in the Caribbean blend produced the highest decrease in HCA
content (88 percent), followed by the herb blend (72 percent) and then
the southwest blend (57 percent).
“Commercial marinades offer spices and herbs which have antioxidants
that help decrease the HCAs formed during grilling,” says Dr. J.S.
Smith, principal researcher at Kansas State University. “The results
from our study have a direct application since more consumers are
interested in healthier cooking.”
Cured meats are another story entirely . . . they have far more cancer
causing agents than meat cooked on the grill.

Note that the risk from grilled meats is nearly
insignificant. Of course, the blogspot spammer
won't tell you that, because he's trying to use
fear to drive traffic to his commercial blogspot
web site.
Here's a table of relative risks from
http://zoology.muohio.edu/oris/ZOO46...s/15b_462.html
Note how 100 charcoal broiled steaks compares to
40 tablespoons of peanut butter or half liter of wine.
There is absolutely no reason to be concerned about
this risk, when there are so many other risks that
completely dwarf this one. When you put the risk
in perspective, it removes the rational basis for
fear. But then it wouldn't be such a good story
for the spammer to exploit.
Table 12. Risks which increase chance of death by 0.000001
Smoking 1.4 cigarettes -- Cancer, heart disease
Drinking ˝ litre of wine -- Cirrhosis of the liver
Spending 1 hour in a coal mine -- Black lung disease
Spending 3 hours in a coal mine -- Accident
Living 2 days in New York or Boston -- Air pollution
Travelling 5 minutes by canoe -- Accident
Travelling 10 miles by bicycle -- Accident
Travelling 300 miles by car -- Accident
Flying 1000 miles by jet -- Accident
Flying 6000 miles by jet -- Cancer caused by
cosmic radiation
Living 2 months in Denver on vacation from
New York -- Cancer caused by cosmic radiation
Living 2 months in average stone or brick building
-- Cancer caused by natural radioactivity
One chest X-ray taken in a good hospital -- Cancer
caused by radiation
Living 2 months with a cigarette smoker -- Cancer,
heart disease
Eating 40 tablespoons of peanut butter -- Liver
cancer caused by aflatoxin B
Drinking Miami drinking-water for 1 year -- Cancer
caused by chloroform
Drinking 30 12 oz. cans of diet soda -- Cancer
caused by saccharin
Living 5 years at site boundary of a typical nuclear
power plant in the open -- Cancer caused by radiation
Drinking 1000 24 oz. soft drinks from recently banned
plastic bottles -- Cancer from acrylonitrile monomer
Living 20 years near PVC plant -- Cancer caused by
vinyl chloride (1976 standard)
Living 150 years within 20 miles of a nuclear power
plant -- Cancer caused by radiation
Eating 100 charcoal broiled steaks -- Cancer from
benzopyrene
Risk of accident by living within 5 miles of a nuclear
reactor for 50 years -- Cancer caused by radiation

Mark, back to your old name calling? That's getting old. You've been
pushed off so many newsgroups I can't count them.
I'm a poster here on Rec.Food just like you. My blog is listed as it
is the source of the article, and it has no ads or commercial content.
Just a compendium of 300+ articles like the one you object to.
It's interesting how a pharmaceutical/chemical industry tout like you
can come on here and talk about cancer risk, when your whole
livelihood and interests deals with chemicals that can hurt the human
body. Mark, are you aware that your industry KILLS tens of thousands
of people every year when people like you formulate these products?
You should be ashamed of yourself for objecting to a post about the
genuine risk of cancer from grilled meats. This is based on research
from a legitimate university, with named people, not anonymous posters
like you who don't leave a trace of their identity behind them. Look
at everything of mine, and like the people from Kansas in this
article, I have my full details and biosketch open. Good luck getting
details on "Mark Thorsen, internet policeman"!

It's not name-calling to call you a spammer.
You are abusing a non-commercial discussion
newsgroup for commercial purposes, and that
makes you a spammer.

Your web site has commercial content, as you
admitted when you said in a posting made on
7/21/07:

You can't spin those words as anything else.
Your web site is commercial, and every time
you plug it in a non-commercial discussion
newsgroup, you are spamming. That makes
you a spammer. It is not name-calling
to correctly identify you as a spammer,
any more than it would be name-calling
to call O.J. Simpson a murderer.

I've never worked for a pharmaceutical or chemical
company. Now, it's not name-calling to call
you a LIAR in addition to SPAMMER. You invent
these lies because you can't defend yourself
with truth. You are a dishonest spammer
trying to steal some free advertising for
your Internet-get-rich-quick scheme.
You disgust me with your ignorance, your lies,
your plagiarism, and your crass commercialism.

Every time you turn around, somebody is banging on the cancer risk
panic button. They've done it over bacon, coffee, sacchran, cell
phones, fried food, grilled food, smoked food, meat, processed meat,
Allar, free radicals, preservatives, plastic water bottles, the sun
and anyone smoking a Chesterfield within a thousand yards of me. They
have screamed Wolf! so many times that I don't even listen to them
anymore. Besides, I'd rather die of cancer at 50 than live to 85 or so
nibbling on raw bean sprouts and organic acorns and living in abject
terror of every other food item in the universe.

I don't know. I always said *exactly* that. And then I watched both
my uncle and my mother die of cancer, just recently, and you really
kind of don't look at anything the same way ever again.
So while I think that the grill thing is nonsense, I think long and
hard about consuming "foods" that are overly processed or basically
just chemicals (I know, everything is chemicals, but I mean things
like Nutrasweet). It's harder to dismiss it all completely. Makes
you think that you should at least have some kind of stab at spreading
out the odds.
Not trying to be a wet blanket here, but it's hard to get it out of
your mind when you watch the process.

Not being invested in this pissing contest, I took a look at the blog.
While he does mention and point to his supplements company in one
standard sidebar in the blog, none of the articles (and I read them
all) have a commercial bent to them. You're being a bit too harsh.

In the U.S., all food additives are regulated by the FDA.
The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended in 1958,
allows no level of any carcinogenic food additive.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaney_clause
You have much greater exposure to natural carcinogens
such as aflatoxins in peanuts and dried corn.

You can't be too harsh on spammers. If any spam
is permissable, all spam becomes permissable, and
the non-commercial discussion newsgroups will be
lost in an ocean of spam. I'm not in favor of
unlimited spamming in the newsgroups. Remember
all the spam we were recently receiving for
counterfeit leather goods from China? It'll
be worse than that. There are no good spammers,
there are no innocent spammers.
There are commercial newsgroups where it is
permissible to plug your commercial web site.
Why can't he limit himself to those newsgroups?
It's because he doesn't care about the future
of this newsgroup. He only cares about his own
interests, not the on-line community that has
developed here. He sees it as free advertising
for his business, nothing more.

I don't eat either of those things, actually.
And, frankly, I don't really trust the FDA all that terribly much,
when you get right down to it.
But I'm not really saying that it's a rational position; I'm just
saying that a bunch of real-life exposure to cancer makes it harder to
just shrug and say, I'll take the risk.

Honestly, Mark, I don't know why this newsgroup puts up with YOU.
You try to control everyone's access to information, claiming "spam"
when you haven't even looked at what I write. I put the entire article
up, not some teaser. The link is there if people want to look at what
I write and what I do, or to see my biosketch. Pure ego, not a "get
rich scheme," because there is nothing sold there. Not even one lonely
Google ad.
But when it comes to you, all is mystery. Good luck finding out
anything about our Internet cop, eh Mark!

Certainly, when you promote products you
are "affiliated with", you are advertising.
That makes it a commercial web site, and
it makes you a spammer. Spam has no place
in a non-commercial discussion newsgroup.
When this is pointed out, you respond with
insults and lies. Your behavior is truly
loathesome.

Well, I've made it past 50. I'll probably die of a heart attack.

I understand that. After my mom died of pancreatic cancer, I became a
vegetarian for several years. It made me feel like I might have some
control over my destiny. I still do avoid things--and this whole issue
is one reason why my current consumption of sausages (albeit uncured
etc.) is odd. I really need to stop that.

Jean, the same thing happened to me. My dad died of cancer, in his
early 60's, and so I tried to "clean up my act" for quite some time,
but I've slipped back into most of my old eating habits. I must admit
that I felt the best when I was a veggie -- it was indeed a good,
healthy feeling (perhaps its in the head). But it was impossible when
my family wasn't supporting it, and my wife and son were sitting there
eating a filet mignon and I had a salad in front of me. The family
peer pressure snapped me out of that after about 8 or 9 months.
Still, its funny, but when you mention something about health on RFC,
people ALWAYS come out in support of their poor eating habits. Hey, we
all do it, but it doesn't hurt now and again to at least confront our
eating habits and think about ways that we can improve them for our
own health. I think the problem is, as someone put it in the string
above, that just above everything that tastes good has been nailed by
the health police at one time or another.

Well, I agree with all of this--and I still think I should get back to
more of a straight and narrow diet.... Actually, I could do that and
lose weight too, I guess. Mostly fruits and veggies. Grains and
legumes. I think the way we eat has little to do with what our bodies
actually require now.
Your family made a healthier way of eating difficult for you just as my
daughter makes it hard for me. Her eating habits aren't excatly My
ideal, to say the least. And there is food here for her and her friends....
