- When fat drips into flames, another carcinogen called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) forms, which drifts in smoke and coats meat. shopping list
- But with a few precautions, you can still enjoy a barbecue. shopping list
- Marinate meat with citrus juices, vinegar, herbs, and olive oil to reduce HCA formation. shopping list
- Use lean meat and trim extra fat to minimize drippings. shopping list
- Cover the grill with foil (punch holes in it first) to keep smoke off food. shopping list
- Piercing meat causes fat to drip, leading to flame-ups, Flip meat with a spatula instead. shopping list
- Avoid eating pieces of charred or blackened fat and meat-these are highest in HCA's. shopping list

Thanks for the info. I used to work at a steak restaurant and we cooked all the meat on a flat surface, not a grill because of the carcinogens. I don't eat steaks but I do appreciate a good grilled BBQ chicken. Great post!
