Grilling may be a summertime staple, but there are health concerns associated with firing up the BBQ. Namely: cancer risk. The worry stems from the discovery that barbecued meats can form two chemicals—heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)—which have been shown in lab studies to alter DNA in a way that increases the odds of developing various forms of the disease—including breast cancer.
