Burnt food is bad for your health Source: Daily Telegraph Date: 26 February 2003 Roger Highfield describes how eating roasted, grilled or barbecued food can be detrimental to health. Barbecuing or grilling food can produce small quantities of compounds called heterocyclic amines, which can cause cancer in animals. Acrylamide is also produced by certain cooking methods, and is classified as a carcinogenic substance. Some scientists are investigating the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the toxic byproducts of spontaneous interactions of sugars, fats and proteins. Food cooked at very high temperatures has been found to contain higher levels of AGEs than food that has been boiled or stewed.

Also not healthy is letting your cooking oils reach their smoke-point. The oil changes and is really bad for you. Don't overheat and smoke your cooking oils! Different oils have different temparture tolerances. For example olive oil shouldn't be used for high heat sauteing.

Burnt food may produce carcinogens and has been linked to cancer in studies. But everything is linked to cancer. Eat in moderation. http://www.thetampapodiatrist.com
