Beer can cure cancer?

Lately there has been a rash of reports about the carcinogens present in overcooked meat. The burning fat and char on well grilled meat may indeed pose some sort of health risk it appears.

But never fear, scientists have discovered a way to possibly neutralize these harmful effects — drinking beer! Now that’s a sign if I ever saw one. I know I always have a beer in hand while manning the grill, for “safety reasons”. (You know, in case there’s a fire.) But now I have a higher purpose, it’s for my health.

For more information you can read this article from Science News Online, which contains a whole mess of $2 words like “heterocyclic amines” and “epigallocatechin gallate” both of which sound like terrible names for beer or barbecue.
