Stomach Cancer

Maybe they got a fright due to the raised incidents of cancer from Fluorescent lights

Of course there are also some other just as important facts that everyone should know

I think you can just add it to the list. Seems that every time I turn around, something else is gonna kill me. And then, next month or next year... oh, wait, no it's not! It's actually GOOD for me! Until "they" change their minds again. I gave up on it long ago. I eat what I like and try to do it in moderation.

Last I heard, the odds are stacked against me. One of these days, I'll probably die... from something.

I have folks tell me often that they grill/Q 4 or 5 times a week. That often is a little scary to me........

Wonder why they don't feed some rats charred steak for a year and see if they die of cancer, after they wipe the smiles off the rat's faces of course.

As Tom Lehrer once said, "on't drink the water and don't (cough cough) breathe the air".

We grill several times a week. Most cooks are grillings to cook the meat, let the grease drip into the fire, get some grill marks and try to preserve the meats moisture. I don't think twice about these cooks. When we grill steaks, we do get some charring, which is not necessarily a good thing. We season the steaks before grilling and may add additional salts at the table. For steaks, we think this makes for better taste. This is not a good thing since I take blood pressure meds. But since we do it no more than once every couple weeks, I take my chances. I do think that by grilling almost all our meats and avoiding most of the natural grease, I'm coming out ahead. I think my wife and I actually eat healthier with the BGE than we did before its arrival almost two years ago. Every one has to decide whats best for them and their family. Suspect no one has the perfect answer.

Really is is more "we" that are putting the stuff in our food, water, etc. Drinking water is leached with prescription drugs, the fields that grow the grain that feed our cattle are sprayed with pesticides, animals and vegetables are genetically altered, chickens are pumped full of antibiotics, etc. etc. We demand lower prices, and the only way to deliver that is altering the manner in which the animals and their feed are produced.

I'm not a vegan, tree hugging freak or anything (if God didn't want me to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?), I just wish I could see the conditions under which the cow, chicken, turkey etc. that I eat are raised. I buy local and organic whenever possible, but it is tough. I'm sure most of the beef I eat comes from stockyards and the chicken houses raise most of my poultry, but those conditions are not perfect for raising the food we eat (and I live within 2 miles of 15 poultry houses so I've seen the turkeys collapse because their legs can't support that weight). A 16 lb frozen turkey ain't normal!!

I do what I can and I don't mind spending a little more to do so. My eggs come from a local farmer and I eat a lot of game meats. It might kill me too, so I don't worry about all that too much.

Howdy Ken.
People really do have a tendency to worry about stuff. I like Tom Petty's line "most of what I worry about doesn't happen anyway".

You can cook at high temps and char meat in the kitchen as well. As has been said, you make the choices, do what you're comfortable with. The word moderation works with most things we worry about.

Bottom line, nobody really knows.

Happy cookin!

If you cook stomach cancer till it's well done..the danger is gone.eat it up..and this is not OT as long as you cooked it on the egg....otherwise..it sure as hell is OT..

Wes, I'm a newbie....what's OT?

I'm with ya..

I think the person who asked worries too much.

somethings gotta kill you, ill take stomach cancer from great grilled food, others choose brain tumors from cell phones and microwave ovens, its their choice :laugh:

My favorite response to stuff like this is to refer to my grandfather from New Orleans. He died of stomach cancer and to his last day he knew for sure that his trip to India and all that "Indian spiced food" is what caused it.

The more things progress the more we realize that the "experts" don't know nearly as much as they pretend to. Do you know anybody that smoked cigarettes their entire lives and then quit and a month later they dropped dead...without a drop of cancer in their bodies? I know of 2 off the top of my head.
