Sit Back and Enjoy the Fire


The CDC cites polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs, as “reasonably anticipated” carcinogens as they have been found to create dermal, hepatic, and immunological diseases after exposure.  PAHs represent a group of over 100 different chemicals that are formed during incomplete burning of coal, oil, gas, garbage, or other organic substances like tobacco or charbroiled meat.  A study done in 2012 showed that people in the work force who were exposed to PAHs had an increased risk of developing lung cancer than those without exposure, but only very high exposure rates showed a development of cancer.
Maybe my love of grilled meat persuades me, but PAHs do not present enough danger to be number one on the chemicals to be eradicated list because other carcinogens present a higher risk.  Public health programs are already in place to end smoking, and green energy programs are trying to move away from coal, oil, and gasoline.  Grilling usually takes place in warm months, which limits the population’s exposure.  Because the world is already showing a trend of moving away from the causers of PAHs, we should focus on chemicals that present a higher risk.

  1. When I was little, my mom always told me not to eat burnt food, and i guess this is why! It's so weird to think that food that we cook in our own homes could really be produced by simply grilling.

  2. I agree Mar grilled food is too delicious to abandon my charred delicious steaks in the summer months. I haven't found any of the chemicals i have read about yet incredibly fear causing. I feel like this book obsesses over studies that show only high exposures of chemicals.

  3. I'm 55-year-old from Korean, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations.
