Dangers of Grilled Meat

Studies have shown that grilling and broiling meats produce carcinogens

(cancer-causing agents), providing yet another reason to opt for veggies. A

recent study published in Nutrition and Cancer reveals the carcinogen PhIP (a

heterocyclic amine known to cause DNA damage leading to cancer) to be pervasive

in grilled chicken products.

" Grilled chicken is the largest source of PhIP, " says Kristie Sullivan,

M.P.H., lead author of a new study and a toxicologist with the Physicians

Committee for Responsible Medicine. " 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, " Sullivan added, " We found

this carcinogen in every single sample of grilled chicken taken from restaurants

in every

part of California. "

Vegan Veteran for Peace

Veteran and vegan Joseph Hayes is a member of Veterans For Peace (VFP), a

non-governmental national organization of veterans of all eras and duty

stations, whose collective experience tells them “wars are easy to start and

hard to stop and that those hurt are often the innocent. Thus, other means of

problem solving are necessary.â€

Joseph wrote about his experiences at a DC Peace March and Demonstration in

his essay, “Our Peace Odyssey.â€

He joined the vegan ranks when, at age 50, his mid-life crisis urged him to

do something significant with his life. “I examined my diet, and decided to go

vegetarian.†After just one week, he went vegan! When he learned about factory

farming, Joseph recalls, “It disturbed me so much, I knew I’d never go back

to eating that way again,†adding “I’m satisfied with a vegan diet, and

not being part of that cruelty. "

Joseph also hosts a monthly radio show in Grand Junction, CO called

" Vegetarian Stew, " an interview program devoted entirely to vegan/vegetarian

issues. It airs the second Thursday of each month at 12:30pm Mountain time and

can be listened to worldwide at www.kafmradio.org.
