Do cooked foods cause cancer?

Today's word is: Pyrolysis

Pyrolysis: The decomposition of a substance by heat.

The premise is that when foods are cooked, especially with high heat, they breakdown, or decompose, into other substances. Some of these substances are carcinogens, also known as cancer causing agents. Pyrolysis could be one reason why most cancer diets a modified form of the vegan raw diet.

All this information is in the public domain, so I'm going to read it to you verbatim.

"Mutagens in charred meat and fish are produced during the pyrolysis of proteins that occurs when foods are cooked at very high temperatures. Mutagens can also be produced during normal cooking of meat at lower temperatures. Smoking of foods as well as charcoal broiling results in the decomposition of mutagenic and carcinogenic poly-nuclear organic compounds such as benzo[a]pyrene on the surface of the food... Pyrolysis of tryptophan resulted in more mutagenic activity than did any other common amino acid, but almost all of the amino acids tested yielded some mutagenic activity when pyrolyzed.

In the experiments concerning the formation of mutagenic pyrolysis products from amino acids and proteins, temperatures of 250°C or greater were used. However, it is now known that simply boiling beef stock at temperatures of approximately 100°C results in the formation of bacterial mutagens. In fact, the forma¬tion of mutagens in beef stock has been detected at temperatures as low as 68°C. Frying of fish at 190°C produces mutagenic activity. Mutagenic activity also results when hamburgers are broiled, even when the surface temperature does not exceed 130°C.

If the formation of IQ during the cooking of beef results from a browning reaction, it might be expected that the browning of starchy foods could also result in the formation of mutagens. Spingarn et al. have observed that the frying of potatoes and the toasting of bread result in the formation of mutagenic activity, but the chemical(s) responsible for this activity and their source during the cooking process remain to be determined.

Browning of foods results from the reaction of amines with sugars. Using a model system for the browning reaction, Spingarn and Garvie found that mutagenic activity occurred when any of six different sugars, including glucose, were refluxed with ammonium hydroxide. Sev¬eral laboratories have found that heating a mixture of the amino acid lysine with glucose at temperatures between 100°C and 121°C results in products that are mutagenic. The increase in mutagenic activity with time paralleled the increase in browning. Mutagenic activity could also be produced by using certain amino acids other than lysine or by using fructose rather than glucose.

its also proven that our ancestors cooking food is why we are here today.

[EncognitiveVids]

@Mistershlee They ate meat to obtain protein. They also ate meat that didn't have steroids, hormones, vaccines and antibiotics in it. It's not meat, it's what they're putting in meat through factory farming of animals that is the problem.

[RawLoveRaw]

@EncognitiveVids Wrong. It IS the meat. We are primates with a digestion almost identical to chimps. Learn about what they eat and you'll learn what we should eat or very close to it.

[EncognitiveVids]

@RawLoveRaw Scientific data shows that animal meat does cause cancer. There is no disputing that fact. However, the same scientific data shows that cancer on the large scale that it is today is a phenomenon that started about 80 years ago. If meat itself causes cancer, there would be records of epidemic cancer going back thousands of years. Cancer was rare until about 80 years ago, about the same time chemicals became a part of the food supply.

@EncognitiveVids 2 things off the top of my head, 1 people ate way less than we eat today and 2, how do we know what was killing people back then? We know they had a shorter life span. How many cancers were detectable? The China Study proves it is the animal protein and not only the additives although u dont need to be a scientist to guess they are bad for us.

[EncognitiveVids]

@RawLoveRaw Epidemiological studies have been performed on mummies and skeletons in various stages of history. Those studies and medical records indicate that cancer is a phenomenon of the last 80 years. I'm not a scientist, but I can read, comprehend and and use common sense to interpret information.

@EncognitiveVids have u seen the film A Delicate Balance? A great film. adelicatebalance . com . au

Theres a reason our ancestors started out as mostly gatherers and not hunters...
