FAQs

Q. Is it healthy to eat BBQ?
A. Everyone loves a good barbecue, but research has shown that grilling meats at high heat can cause the carcinogens heterocyclic amine (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to form and it's not an insignificant amount. Because when you heat the meat, the fat drips onto the hot coals it burns, and the smoke rises up and coats the meat. This smoke contains lots of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the partially burned fat. PAHs are another group of chemicals that are known to cause cancer.

Q. Is grilled chicken good for weight loss?
A. Grilled chicken is great. Still, not all of the fat in the chicken skin is good fat, and it does add calories, so if you're trying to go for a super-lean meal, skinless chicken is better. Grill some vegetables alongside your chicken for a very healthy meal.
