Did you read what could be done to combat marinated cancer risk, though? Wake up? Good. Read. Recent studies have shown that cooking at high flame temperatures can lead to a reaction between creatine in muscle, and amino acids to produce compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs). These compounds damage DNA in our cells, which begins on cancer. HCA more likely to develop in meat, especially pork, beef, fish and chicken that are blackened or charred during cooking.

Consumption of HCAs is usually linked to cancer of the colon and stomach. Some studies also suggest that these carcinogens could travel in the bloodstream to cause cancer in other organs. Before you get discouraged, other research has shown that the use of marinades acid can inhibit the production of HCAs during cooking. To make the marina tion effective, however, the meat must be immersed in it for at least forty minutes in a marinade acid. This can reduce the growth of dangerous chemicals by a substantial 92-99 percent.

In addition, research has shown that the meat marinated in green tea-based marinades can reduce HCA levels by up to 75 percent after marinating for about six hours. Research in Portugal have also found that marinating meat in wine or beer may reduce the risk of colon cancer and other cancers, to fry the meat. The marinating time is recommended, again, at six. In addition, the beer can be an effective agent for reducing HCA than wine. On the one hand, beer has been found to work faster and offer better taste, odor and appearance of the meat. Improper use of marinades can ruin your barbecue too, if you're not careful.

All meats, especially red meat, fish and chicken may contain unhealthy substances that can contaminate the marinade. fresh marinade mixture used to prepare a new batch of food, if necessary. Before you get discouraged, other research has indicated that the use of marinades acid can inhibit the production of HCA during cooking. To make effective pickling, however, the meat should be immersed in it for at least forty minutes in an acid marinade. This can reduce the growth of HCA by a significant 92-99 percent.

The marinating time is recommended, again, at six. In addition, the beer can be an effective agent for reducing HCA than wine. On the one hand, beer has been found to work faster and offer better taste, odor and appearance of the meat. And this summer, when you set the grill, take time to reflect on the benefits of the marinade and use knowledge to your advantage.
