7Charred meats
Red meat has been in the doghouse for a long time as a possible cause of cancer. But it has more to do with how it is prepared than anything else. Since red meat (beef, pork and lamb) is tougher than white meat (chicken and fish), it needs to be cooked, grilled, or barbecued at very high temperatures.
These cooking methods release toxins such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are said to raise your cancer risk.
Alternative: You need not give up on red meat completely. Eat organic, grass-fed beef and pay attention to how you cook it.
