Recipe Introduction
James S. Felton
"When meat, poultry and fish are grilled or barbecued over high heat, cancer-causing agents are produced in the meat. You can slash the cancer threat by marinating the meat before grilling, says James S. Felton, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
In his tests, marinating chicken breasts before grilling over an open flame reduced cancer-causing heterocyclic amines by 92-99 percent. "
List of Ingredients
Lab-Tested Anti-Cancer Marinade for Your Favorite Grilled Meat:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6 Tbs. olive oil
4 Tbs. cider vinegar
3 medium cloves garlic, crushed
3 Tbs. grainy mustard
4 Tbs. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsps. salt
Recipe
Mix all in a large bowl or plastic bag with a zipper. Add the meat of your choice; coat all sides.
Marinate 5-10 minutes. (You may soak longer to intensify flavors, but tests show longer marination does not increase anti-cancer activity.) Remove meat from marinade and place on hot grill. Remove meat from grill as soon as it's done: Longer grilling produces more carcinogens (cancer-causing agents).
