DOES BURNT FOOD GIVE YOU CANCER Cooking at highest heat ruins health. If you are offered a plate of blackened braai food, you might think twice about eating it. It's commonly thought that burnt food could cause cancer. This is in part down to one particular molecule that forms when food is cooked at high temperatures, known as acrylamide. But, the link between consuming it in food & developing cancer is not so clear. Knowledge of acrylamide's potential dangers are down to railway tunnel workers were building in Sweden nearly 20 years ago. Cows nearby started to show strange symptoms staggering around and in some cases collapsing and dying. An investigation showed they had been drinking contaminated stream water from a toxic molecule, acrylamide. The workers were tested to see if they also had unsafe levels in their blood, with a second control group also had surprisingly high amounts in their blood. At first it was thought burgers might be the source. Then high levels were found in fried potatoes, as well as in coffee. It then became clear it was in food heated above 120 Degrees Celsius, fried, roasted or baked. But it must have been there ever since cooking was invented. You don't find it in uncooked or boiled food. Dairy, meat or fish products are much less likely to contain it. A golden rule has been suggested: “cook food until it goes yellow, not brown or black”. Though, if you cook at too low temperature, you are less likely to kill off bacteria, so there is more risk of food poisoning. Scientists haven't established that it is definitely a carcinogen in humans at the levels typically found in cooked food. A 2015 review of available data concluded that "dietary acrylamide is not related to the risk of most common cancers". MEATY CONCERNS Going back to the barbecue, there are other chemicals in meat that could be a concern. These are generally from meat fat and juices dripping onto flames in cooking. If you are really concerned, you could also eat less meat or replace the meat with vegetables when grilling. Of course, your food may not be as tasty, since grilling, baking or toasting enhance flavour. Issue 02 Timeless Magazine 9
