White meat like chicken is no better than red meat

“You don’t want fried chicken, obviously, with all its fat and cholesterol, but it turns out that grilled chicken is peppered with chemicals clearly linked to cancer”
Michael Erikson, Chemist, M.S. Sullivan and Chad Sandusky, toxicologist, PhD, USA.

The danger of consuming fried, grilled or blackened meat

Grilled meat contains one of the most potent carcinogens known: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The sure signs are the black stripes from the grill. When fire directly touches meat the fat liquefies and drips into the fire. This vaporises into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-containing flames, creating dangerous cancer-causing compounds that rise in the form of gas and reattach to the meat. There is a consistent association between grilled or blackened PAH meat consumption and high rates of cancer¹. Sadly, when scientists want to create cancer in animals in a laboratory, they will often use PAH because it is so effective at creating cancer. Yet, we eat it by choice.

 “This research reinforces the relationship between diet and cancer. These results strongly support what we suspected — people who eat a lot of meat, particularly fried or barbecued, seem to have a higher likelihood of bladder cancer”
Professor Xifeng Wu, to the American Association for Cancer Research, 2010.

Cooked meat contains carcinogens

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are a family of 17 mutagenic cancer-causing compounds that are produced during any high-temperature cooking process of chicken, beef, pork or meat. Even meat that is cooked under normal grilling, frying, or oven broiling can contain significant quantities of HCAs². HCAs raise cancer risk by more than two-and-a-half and increase bladder cancer risk by up to five times in some people³. Cooked meat becomes a source of carcinogens and mutagens, such as HCAs, some of which are distributed to the mammary gland, increasing breast cancer formation⁴. PhIP is another highly dangerous compound in cooked meat that has been known to cause cancer for more than a decade. The longer and hotter the meat is cooked, the more PhIP is present in the meat, the more cancerous compounds form. Alongside cleaning products and dust, beef, pork and dairy foods are associated with tested human urinary levels of various antibiotics and chemical phthalates⁵.

White meat being better than red meat is a myth

Grilled chicken has been shown to form higher concentrations of PhIP and HCAs than other types of cooked red meat⁶. Fried chicken is coated in rancid starches and then cooked. The recipe for most commercial fried chicken batter is basically white flour, white sugar, salt, black pepper and monosodium glutamate (MSG). You know who I am talking about here and it is no secret recipe … Kids Fattening Centre indeed. Just this is bad enough. However, when you eat a diet rich in fried starches, you also create acrylamides, which raise your risk of kidney cancer by 59%, your risk of ovarian cancer by up to 122% and your risk of endometrial cancer by up to 99%⁷.

I have not eaten chicken for many years, nor will I ever again.

GOLDEN Rule 1: Be Prepared and Control your Environment

GOLDEN Rule 2: Deal with the Body you have

GOLDEN Rule 3: Honour Thy Bowel

GOLDEN Rule 17: Alkaline Balance is Crucial (ABC)

Further Reading: The research, studies and food recommendations from the WCRF & AICR 2018, to help lower your risk of, and to prevent, breast cancer, are built around following; a no-alcohol, plant-based wholefood diet.

Chicken delivers weight gain – not weight loss

Chicken, saturated fat and breast cancer

We are eating 10x more chicken and we are the most overweight people in the world…

Chicken from the Kids Fattening Centre

Why is being overweight or obese so dangerous to our health?

Weight loss is IMPOSSIBLE unless you change your microbiome

Diet not exercise the key to healthy weight

Sleep little and you guarantee to pack on weight

Most deaths and disease are preventable
