Meat Barbecuing is known to generate potentially cancer-causing chemicals known as heterocyclicamines.
2
This study only provides weak support for a similar association with meat heterocyclicamines.
3
Background: Red meat intake has been associated with risk of colorectal cancer, potentially mediated through heterocyclicamines.
4
The results from this study indicate that breast milk is a route of exposure of the newborn to heterocyclicamines.
5
These high-temperature cooking methods are thought to be surrogates for mutagens and carcinogens produced in meat and fish, eg heterocyclicamines or polycyclic hydrocarbons.
