Intestinal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. 54 percent of bowel cancers are preventable. One way to avoid bowel cancer, according to scientists, may be in the method of cooking.
Although fish is known to be a strong source of nutrients such as omega-3 oils, cooking fish in a certain way can be associated with certain risks.
The carcinogenicity of fish increases if the fish is cooked on charcoal.
“Charcoal grilling is a cooking method in which meat is placed directly on top of a fuel source such as wood or coal. This fuel source then forms a crust on top of the meat. Charring or burning meat, poultry, or fish at high temperatures results in the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) These HCAs can cause genetic damage and increase the risk of developing stomach and colon cancer,” says oncologist Andrey Vorobyov especially for MedicForum.
Alcohol significantly increases the risk of colon cancer
The best way to reduce the risk is “replace or avoid swallowing or burning meat, poultry or fish.”
