[net.cooks] carcinogens in your food...PLEASE READ THIS ONE!!

rcj@burl.UUCP (Curtis Jackson) (08/02/85)

I'll just say one thing to spark interest, and then LET'S MOVE THIS TO
net.med!!!!!  This discussion is one of the main reasons I started net.med
a couple of years ago -- I know it relates to cooking but it is primarily
a medical subject and not a cooks subject.

My one comment is:  Anyone ever seen a study that even attempts to discern
the impact not of saccharin, not of red dye #5, not of cigarette smoke,
not of cooking charcoal carcinogens, but of what actually happens in real
life -- a combination of the above.  What may be only mildly carcinogenic
by itself can be nasty as hell when you are exposed to other (usually mild)
carcinogens in concert with it.

Let's talk about it in net.med (if you're interested), and thanks for your
consideration in this matter,
