Researchers have newly discovered a surprising and potentially significant reason why eating foods frequently cooked at high temperatures, such as red meat and deep-fried fare, elevates cancer risk. The alleged culprit: DNA within the food that's been damaged by the cooking process.

      Forgive me if I’m reading sarcasm into your comment where it wasn’t intended, but raw food diets are definitely a thing, and there are people who choose to abide by them. It’s not a diet I would personally choose, but for some folks it works.

        Yeah I’ll probably consider it if I get to not have cancer!
