So is it true or is it a myth? Does grilling your
chicken cause Cancer? Well, EEWMagazine.com
health editors cannot give you a simple cut and
dry answer. But we will share our findings from
research.

Cooking food over a high, open flame can produce
carcinogens, or cancer-causing substances.

By now, you may have heard all about a legal
battle that's been going on for a couple years. The
“Physicians Committee for Responsible
Medicine" (PCRM), which is really an animal
rights group, filed a “toxic tort” lawsuit in
California over chicken. The suit cited the Golden
State’s “Proposition 65” law, which would require
restaurants to post a cancer warning about a
chemical (called “PhIP”) that naturally appears
when meat is grilled.

PhIP, which could potentially kick off hazardous
cancerous mutations
if consumed in large enough
doses
, appears in microscopic levels when you
grill chicken.

Now before you go throwing out your grill,
swearing off grilled chicken salad, and running to
the doctor to be tested for the "Big C," there is
something you can do to reduce this risk.

Marinate the chicken.

Really, it works. We discovered one from
Lawrence Livermore Labs, that reduces formation
of harmful substances by up to 95 percent in
grilled chicken.

So here's the recipe that serves 6 people.
Marinade for Healthy Grilled Chicken

  • 3 medium crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. grainy mustard
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 lime , juiced
  • 1/2 lemon , juiced
  • 6 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Pepper to taste
  • 6 chicken breast halves

Directions:

Combine all ingredients except for chicken in a
large bowl. Season with pepper. Marinate chicken
in liquid several hours or overnight (refrigerated).

Bring to room temperature before charcoal-
broiling.

Grill chicken until cooked through. Serve.
