13. Grilled meat
Sure, George Foreman stumbled into a culinary goldmine when he promised to “knock out the fat” with his grill, but it turns out that grilling isn’t as healthy as you might have thought. The direct heat applied to meat during the process of barbecuing or grilling exposes it to polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs). These chemicals, which pass into our bodies when we eat grilled meats, have been linked with breast, colon, prostate and lymph node cancer. Stick to low-heat cooking, if you value your health.
