I guess boiling would be better, but perhaps by only a little - it's hard to say unless you compare things exactly (type of meat, cooking technique, amount of time cooked, etc.). I don't really see any advantage to eating meat (gelatin supplements seem like a good idea, in small amounts), and when studies have looked at dairy/eggs vs. meat, the difference appears significant, so why bother with meat? As in the study I cited above, it's the HCAs in conjunction with a lot of PUFAs that seem really bad, and the article Bruce cited did not control for this factor. "Abstracts" come in many "flavors." Sometimes there are obvious flaws, whereas is others it's clear that they found something that might be very important. Then, it usually pays to look at the entire study and think in terms of how it fits into the evidence that you've already examined closely. |
