In a CNN interview, Tanya Zuckerbrot, RD, registered dietitian practicing in New York said, "Grilling meat at high temperatures over an open flame may increase cancer risk". Zuckerbrot points to the National Cancer Institute's finding that the two potentially cancer-causing chemicals-heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are formed when meats are cooked using high-temperature methods like chargrilling. Zuckerbrot added, "Don't rely on the color of the cooked meat to gauge food safety". "Use a food thermometer that shows that meats are cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature as recommended by the USDA."
