DR.OZ Does BURNT Food cause CANCER

I Have gathered some information I have been reading about, I hope this helps, and it it different opinions from others.....

    As with most aspects of food and drink, anything is bad for you in excess. There are lots of scares in the media that suggest burnt food can causetypes of cancers.
  While there may be a link, the odd burnt burger or chip is not going to cause that much damage. Burning food can rid it of some of its vital nutrients. If you are trying to eat healthily then you should avoid burning food where possible so that you get the most goodness possible from your meals. The biggest concern made about burnt food is the increased levels of carcinogens. These are any substances, radiation or radionuclides that can cause cancer. There is evidence to suggest that burning food or cooking food at high temperatures, can lead to the formation of minute quantities of potent carcinogens. These carcignons are comparable to those that are found in cigarette smoke. Further to this, charring food resembles coking and tobacco pyrolysis and produces similar carcinogens. There have been reports from the Food Standards Agency that have found the known animal carcinogen acrylamide is generated in carbohydrate foods that are fried or burnt. The studies to discover any potential risk to humans are ones that are still underway at the FDA and European regulatory agencies. While this information makes burnt food sound very unsafe, it is still something that can be eaten in moderation. Meat eaters should avoid regularly eating burnt or barbecued meat, especially If it cooked at a high temperature for a long time. The research for finding carcinogens in burntvegetables is less clear cut but again it should be avoided on a regularbasis. While the carcinogens found in burnt food resemble those that are found in cigarette smoke, they are nowhere near as harmful. While eating burnt food in excess may have a slight risk of being harmful, it is not something to be overly worried about. Auctions for free stuff at Listia.com
