Question : Reports have linked charred food to cancer. How safe is BBQ food ?

Charred food is said to be harmful to us human beings. This is definitely true as research has already been done. It is said that the reason why charred food causes cancer to us is because of one particles called Benz pyrenes. Scientist have found out that large intake of Benz pyrenes will cause cancer after some research and experiments. This fact is exaggerated by other people saying that grilled food will cause cancer thus, causing people to be in fear and dared not to consume grilled or BBQ food. So in short, BBQ food is safe to consume, only charred food is dangerous as it will cause cancerous cell to develop.
