Heat when cooking causes damage to the food's DNA - damage which can then affect the consumer.
Eating foods frequently cooked at high temperatures, such as red meat and deep-fried foods, may lead to DNA damage and cancer, a mice study suggests.
Scientists noted that high-heat cooking form small molecules, which interact with the consumer's healthy DNA, making them susceptible to cancer.
Scientists revealed that damaged DNA in overheated food can be absorbed during digestion and incorporated into the DNA of those who consume it.
