Pan-Fried Meat

Why Pan-Frying Meat Could Kill You

As far as the specific red meats were concerned, hamburgers were deemed bad for prostates but not steaks. 

Bad news for us guys: Apparently our tongues and prostates have very different tastes.New resaerch has found that some of our favorite foods and cooking methods, like pan-frying red meats, are the ones that are worst for us.
That’s not exactly breaking news, but we didn’t have the hard-fast statistics before. They are quite startling as researchers found that men who consumed more than 1.5 servings of pan-fried meats per week boosted their risk of advance prostate cancer  by 30% and those who bumped up their servings to 2.5 were in the 40% range.
While red meat isn’t your prostate’s ideal choice, the study did show that pan-frying poultry was also linked to prostate cancer. Previous studies indicated that pan-frying fish also presented the same risks.
As far as the specific red meats were concerned, hamburgers were deemed bad for prostates, but steaks weren't. It’s unclear why, but an early guess is that burgers can get to a higher internal and external temperature faster than steak.
Low and slow is one of the best methods of cooking meat. Maybe it’s time we embraced it instead of the fast and furious methods of the barbecue and frying pan.
