You may have heard conflicting reports in the news lately about whether or not
grilling your meat is healthy...

...that's why in today's guest article from our nutrition specialist Mike,
you'll learn the TRUTH about the carcinogenic compounds that could be harming
you, as well as this 1 simple trick you must use that can put an end to these
cancer-related compounds so you can enjoy your BBQ worry-free!

NEVER Grill Meat, Unless You Do This
by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist
Author, The Truth About Six Pack Abs

Most people aren't aware that when you
cook meat (whether it's grilled,
broiled, or seared) there are
carcinogenic compounds that can form
called HCA's (heterocyclic amines).

Now don't panic... you ingest various
carcinogens all the time, even with some
vegetables.

You can always protect
yourself with more antioxidants.

Please Note: When you cook meat in a water base as opposed to grilling,
broiling, or searing, you eliminate the harmful HCAs. So for example, meats
cooked in a soup, or meats cooked in a crock pot will not have the problem of
the carcinogenic HCAs and is a healthier way to cook meat.

But let's face it... grilled meat tastes awesome and there's no way I'm giving
up my grass-fed steak from the grill, or my grass-fed burgers!

That's why it's important to know that there's a way you can use spices to both
counteract, and also drastically reduce the carcinogens formed when you grill
meat...

Here's the trick:

If you're going to grill meats, marinating meats for at least several hours
beforehand in liquid mixtures that contain rosemary and other herbs/spices can
dramatically help to reduce HCA's (heterocyclic amines), which are those
carcinogenic compounds that can form when meats are grilled. It appears that the
highly potent antioxidants in these herbs prevent HCA formation. So using
rosemary, thyme, garlic, oregano and other spices in a meat marinade before
grilling meats can drastically reduce any carcinogens that normally would form
on grilled meat and give you a healthier meal, that's also very tasty!

The antioxidants in rosemary and thyme from a marinade were specifically cited
in studies at being powerful inhibitors of HCA formation when grilling meats.
But it was also noted that other spices such as garlic, oregano, and others can
help to prevent HCA formation as well, so I suggest using a variety, which
tastes great anyway!

One more important point about grilling meat:

Remember that the more well-done a meat is cooked, the higher concentration of
carcinogenic HCA's can form, so rare, medium-rare, or medium are healthier
choices than well-done. I've never understood why anybody would want to ruin a
good steak by burning it to oblivion anyway. But hey, if you're one of those
folks that likes your steaks well-done, just remember that you're eating a lot
more carcinogens than a steak that's cooked less, so make sure to load up on
your antioxidants (spices, teas, berries, etc) to help combat those extra
carcinogens.

Washing down your barbequed meal with a glass of unsweetened iced tea (rich in
antioxidants) and also a good salad with lots of raw veggies can provide the
antioxidants needed to counteract the effect of HCAs in your body from grilled
meat.

By the way, even charring vegetables on the grill creates different carcinogens
such as acrylamides, so don't think that the negative effect of charring only
applies to meats.

Hey, we all love a great barbeque, so no need to give that up just because of
HCAs or acrylamides, but at least now you know how to counteract the effects of
these in your body to protect yourself, and also how to use spices to
drastically reduce the formation of HCAs on grilled meat!

Enjoy that next barbeque in a healthier way!
