Doctors from India’s Government General Hospital recently announced
that meat or fish that has been smoked, or cooked directly over fire, is more
harmful to human health than alcohol consumption or even cigarettes.
The doctors explain, “When meat or fish is cooked directly over fire, it gets covered
with cancer-causing carcinogens. Analysis performed by undergraduate medical
students at the hospital turned up data showing that people who ate smoked meat
were nine times more likely to develop cancer than people who did not.
By
comparison, smokers were eight times more likely to develop cancer than
non-smokers and people who consumed alcohol were only four times more likely
than teetotalers.
This
isn’t the first time cooked meat has been called out for health concerns.
Stateside, the NIH also recently discovered a correlation between barbequed or
grilled meat and cancer.
