食品伙伴网导读：每个人都热爱美味的烧烤，但研究发现肉在高温下可产生致癌物 杂环胺（HCA）和多环芳烃（PAHs）。且常吃烤肉的人比正常人多出了60%患上胰腺癌的风险，并且还会增加胃癌、肺癌、乳腺癌的风险。但你不必因此而放弃了自己的挚爱，按照以下六点来做，会让你的烧烤更加健康。
1.使用香辛料腌制。红辣椒、迷迭香都是不错的选择。
2.用酒腌制。红葡萄酒是天然的抗氧化剂，啤酒的效果也不错。
3.不要过热，确保在325℃以下。
4.在烧烤之前用微波炉先加热1-2分钟。
5.烧烤中加入蔬菜，半肉半菜的烧烤也是不错的选择
6.少即是多，腌制时间不可过长，过长的话会减少酱料里抗氧化剂的量。可以边烤边刷。

原文报道：6 Ways to Have a Healthier Barbecue
Bring on the barbecue
By Mara Betsch
Everyone loves a good barbecue, but research has shown that grilling meats at high heat can cause the carcinogens heterocyclic amine (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to form.
And it’s not an insignificant amount. One study found that people who consume well-done meat—grilled, barbecued, pan fried, or broiled—on a regular basis were 60% more likely to get pancreatic cancer. Longer cooking times might also increase the risk of stomach, lung, and breast cancer.
But you don’t have to give up your burgers just yet. Read how to make grilling safer and follow our 6 tips to making safe grilled fare.
Use a marinade
A 2008 study found that spicy marinades can decrease HCA formation, so don’t be afraid to sprinkle on the red pepper.
Certain spices are packed with antioxidants that will help to eliminate HCAs in the grilling process. One study showed that adding spices, such as thyme, sage, and garlic, can reduce the amount of total HCAs by 60% compared to the control.
Rosemary may be especially potent. A recent study found that high concentrations of rosemary extracts may reduce HCAs by up to 90% in some cases. Get inspired by these marinated meals.
Add alcohol
At your next barbecue, don’t forget beer and wine…for your marinade. We know red wine is full of antioxidants, and this can carry over in your marinades.
Marinating beef in red wine for six hours before grilling decreased the amount of carcinogens—40% fewer than in beef that wasn’t marinated—according to a study by the University of Porto in Portugal.
This same study found similar positive effects using beer, and participants gave the beer-marinated beef top marks for quality. Here’s a delicious red wine marinade, or try these beer-battered fish tacos.
Turn down the heat
Well done shouldn’t be in your vocabulary if you’re trying to cut down on carcinogens. Studies have shown that higher temperatures lead to an increase in HCAs.
Allow some extra time, and try to cook your meat below 325°F, which is the temperature at which HCAs begin to form.
To ensure that you’re meeting the minimum cooking temperatures, invest in a meat thermometer, and make sure your burgers have an internal temperature of 160°F. Here are other minimum cooking temperatures.
Precook food in the microwave
Before your fire up the grill, nuke meat in the microwave for one or two minutes at medium power. Studies have shown that microwaving meat for two minutes prior to cooking decreased HCAs by 90%. Just remember to throw out the juice—that’s where the HCAs lurk.
Grill veggies
Grilled veggies offer that same hot-off-the-grill taste but don’t contain carcinogens like their meaty counterparts. Portobello mushroom burgers are a great hearty option. However, if you crave grilled meat, make kebabs. Using half meat, half veggies is healthier and cuts down on the HCAs.
Less is more when it comes to marinating
Though this may sound counterintuitive, marinating meat for long lengths of times may lower the percentage of antioxidants in the sauces. A 2010 study found that marinating meat in sauce for five hours prior to oven baking cut down the antioxidant activity in the sauce compared with cooking after shorter marinating times.
Play it on the safe side by aiming to marinate your meat for no more than a few hours. Marinades don’t soak deep into the meat, so there’s not a lot of flavor advantage to an overnight marinade. And brushing a little extra sauce on the meat shortly before serving could give you an extra boost of antioxidants.
