Intro:
In a study, people whose diets included well-done meats were over twice as likely to develop bladder cancer than those who preferred meats rare. "These results strongly support what we suspected [previously] - people who eat a lot of red meat, particularly well-done red meat, such as fried or barbecued, seem to have a higher likelihood of bladder cancer" says lead author of the study Professor Xifeng Wu. But even chicken and fish, when fried, significantly raised the odds of cancer. Conclusion:
The UK Food Standards Agency says people can reduce their risk from chemicals that may cause cancer by not allowing flames to touch food when barbecuing or grilling, and cooking at lower temperatures for a longer time. The World Cancer Fund recommends that people "aim to limit consumption of read meat to 500g (cooked) per week and to avoid processed meat."
