Abstract in brief

  • High intake of red and processed meats, especially well-done meats, has been linked to a higher risk of cancers such as breast, colorectal, and prostate.
  • Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are mutagenic compounds formed when meats are cooked thoroughly; they are potent mutagens that can induce tumors in animals.
  • Most epidemiological studies over the past decade suggest that consuming well-done meats and exposure to HCAs may increase the risk of developing human cancers.]

@CEOofKlein @QueenBoo34 @OGStarwarsAB It’s true. You can do research. Chemical reactions occur when red meat is cooked more than it is supposed to (i.e. well done) and it can become carcinogenic https://t.co/kaAdgArp3S
