Eating one charcoal grilled lamb skewer is equivalent to smoking 50 cigarettes
According to experts, barbecue is mostly meat food, and its protein and oil will be decomposed into a variety of toxic components such as benzopyrene and heterocyclic amines under the direct baking and burning of charcoal, all of which are highly active carcinogens.
The benzopyrene produced during the grilling process of a meat skewer is equivalent to 500 times that of a cigarette. Eating a charcoal-grilled meat skewer is as harmful as smoking 50 cigarettes.
