Reminds me of the tests on STEAK fifty years ago. The scientists concluded that a grilled steak has carcinogens that will give you cancer. After the tests were done the scientists ate the steaks.

You have to eat 20,000 steaks at one setting to get enough carcinogens to get cancer.

Remember the diet soda scares? Mice got cancer! (if they drank the equivalent of 800 cans of diet soda a day)

As I recall from one of the 'studies' on this, it's the overcooked, burnt part of the meat that has most of the cancer. So a proper rare steak is better for you than a burnt slab of meat. And tastes better!
