Why you should not overcook or overheat food

Health & Science

It's long been understood that the cooking process produces molecules, including DNA, in both plant and meat-based foods that react with human DNA upon ingestion. For this reason, researchers have hypothesised that cooking at high temperatures poses health risks.

A new study has now confirmed that the damaged DNA can be absorbed during digestion, and further absorbed into the consumer's DNA. These damaged molecules can react with the DNA in consumers' bodies posing a genetic risk to the consumer.
