Fans of beefsteak should be a little wary. Moreover, the majority of fans liked the beef steak cooked well done. In addition to savory taste delicious, steaks cooked well done once can lead to prostate cancer risk.Want to medium rare, medium well or well done? This question surely we often hear when you order a beefsteak. Want to mature on the outside but tender and juicy inside, or even cooked at all. A recent study revealed that the consumption of well done steak may increase the risk of prostate cancer.
In the study revealed that men who ate two servings of hamburgers or meatloaf are allowed to mature 'well done' twice weekly potentially greater risk of prostate cancer. Than men who do not eat beef or other red meat cooked perfectly. Trigger factor lies in the maturity level of burned flesh.
Red meat, which was burned, contain carcinogenic substances that can increase the risk of prostate cancer. Carcinogenic substances is one of the substances that trigger the growth of cancer cells. Carcinogenic substances cause cancer by altering deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in body cells and interfere with biological processes.
When the meat was burned and even become charred, high temperatures cause the formation of two chemicals, namely heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In experiments on animals, these chemicals proven to cause several types of cancers, including prostate cancer.
Not only the correlation between grilled meat and risk of prostate cancer, but also to consider how to cook the meat. Effect grilled or roasted on the fire directly resulted in more than 400 kinds of carcinogenic compounds, among which the most dangerous is benzopyrene.
We recommend that when burned meat (steak or burger or satai), remove the charred parts. Cook meat over low heat and do not be too often turned upside down. Also balance the consumption of meat with water, vegetables and fruits.
