According to an article in the June 2009 Nutrition Action Newsletter, grilling or cooking meat at high temperatures creates mutagens. Some ways to avoid (besides avoiding meat) -- avoid cooking meat at high temperatures for a long time. Marinating and or microwaving the meat before grilling both gets rids of some of the precursor compounds that form the mutagens and reduced the amount of time the meat would stay on the grill.

K L Brown- Oh thank you so much for the information, I am glad to know that marinade helps, I marinade most things that go on the grill. We like chicken and fish as well, not so much on the red meat!

Do vegetables sucumb to the carcinogens (from the grill) as well?

I'll research that further. The carcinogens in charred meat come from the meat itself--substances degrade in the high heat. So that wouldn't be a vegetable issue. However, there may be issues with burning charcoal, lighter fluid, etc.

I'm definitely making a greater effort to marinate everything, too. That article had a list of about a dozen things you can do to increase the safety of meat grilling. Unfortunately, its not online.
