Dark Beer May Reduce Carcinogens In Grilled Meats, Study Finds

"Researchers have long been in search of ingredients that can lessen the carcinogens created when meat is grilled. Several studies have cited assorted vegetables and herbs as helpful in reducing the formation of these carcinogens, with the latest examining a different option: beer.

Isabel M. P. L. V. O. Ferreira of the Universidade do Porto and colleagues note the potential link between grilled meats and colorectal cancer, as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) form when high temperatures are used to grill meat. These hydrocarbons are also found in car exhaust and cigarette smoke. While there's a connection between these substances and cancer in laboratory animals, it is still unclear if this connection exists in humans.

Beer, wine and tea marinades had all been shown to reduce the levels of some potential carcinogens in cooked meat, but little was known about how different types of beer might affect results...........
