4. Charred Or Cooked At High Temperatures Meats
High heat turns certain things into carcinogens such as some vegetable oils and meats cooked at high temperatures. These are classified as carcinogens, because they alter the DNA. This could lead to the formation of malignant growths. An example of this would be if you were dining out, and you ordered charred red meat or blackened fish.
Grilled, fried, and barbecued meats have been found in studies to contribute to prostate, pancreatic, and colorectal malignant growths, says the World Health Organization or WHO.

We are advised to eat only meats that are cooked on low heat. Marinating meats is also said to protect the meats from carcinogens formed in cooking.
