heh... ToxicBBQ indeed

[Deviant Ollam]

don't know how reliable the science is behind this, and it's not like i'd really give a damn either way, but i found the headline to be humorous and relevant enough to mention here. maybe we should invite some of the medical researchers to drop on by.

Toxic products found in blood of BBQ lovers (http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2007/04/24/bbq-ages.html)As barbecue season gets underway, a new study suggests a class of toxic chemicals released by grilling, broiling, and frying meat may increase the risk for life-threatening diseases.

For people who enjoy their steaks marinated, there is some evidence that adding acidic liquids such as lemon or vinegar might help to counteract some of the AGEs, Vlassara said.

Maybe we should test their theory out. Who's going to bring the chem set?

Do we REALLY want to know what is lurking in half of the attendee's bloodstreams?

Great, a report full of 'pre-existing condition' flags for me.

So how would this work? Submissions of underwear for semen, stool, and urine samples?

There was a study a while back that had shown small quantities of a cancer causing chemical are produced when potatoes, nuts ect.. are fried.

Don't you know by now, nothing is good for you.. not even water.. like Lewis Black said, "We buy bottles of water from Pepsi and Coke, because when I think fresh clean water, I think Pepsi and Coke!"

I found out Everest bottled water & some others come from the Corpus Christi, Texas municipal water supply, I live in south Texas and can tell you the water down there is crap. Its desalinized water (ocean water with the salt content removed).

I say we cook the meat using no fire, chemicals only.. nuclear radiation, peroxides, acids, should make sum good eat'n.
How about solar cooked food? plenty sun in Vegas..

There's always been this thing that charcoal and burnt food causes cancer. Everything causes cancer, we've gone from hating mobile phone masts because they might cause cancer to hating wifi hot spots because they might cause cancer.

Pure crazyness!

Clearly the other lawyers haven't taught you the "secret handshake" yet. :wink:

:biggrin: Anyone know a nuclear medicine technologist, chemist, or the like?

This site (http://www.sunoven.com/order.asp) sells solar cookers, however I'm apt to say that we could build a better, cheaper one ourselves. So, who wants to give it a shot?

The hell with cooking. Have you never heard of steak tartar?
There is also an outstanding Philippino dish whose name I can not remember that uses beef and onions and it is cooked by adding lemon juice.

FYI, yeah I was reading about cellular phone radiation and discovered that the Treo phones are the highest of all phones ranked for radiation (SAR).

The Treo 650 scored 1.51 watts. (since removed because the 700 is out) (http://msn-cnet.com.com/4520-6602_7-5020357-1.html?tag=nav)
along with the Blackberry 8300 at 1.51, Motorola Sliver L2 & L6 at 1.54w & 1.58w & the top of the list.

Motorola V195s at 1.6watts (maximum radiation output).

FCC limitation is 1.6 watts per kilogram.

Made me think twice about how much I use it.. if I dont use the headset I fry my brain, if I use a bluetooth, I fry my crotch region..

Bluetooth it is.. who wants kids anyways?
