    How much does charred food actually increase risk of cancer? And what type of cancer?

    For some reason smokey slightly burnt food tastes really good to me and I’m not going to stop eating it.

      That’s fine, we all do stupid things. I use a vape pen. You murder intelligent creatures and overcook them. Tomato tomato

      As for the cancer impacts… fucking google it dude. If you’re taking cancer advice from Lemmy you are doing health wrong. But I believe it’s specifically men/colon

        The point of social media is to interact with other people, asking questions is a good way to do that. I asked you because you sounded like you knew what you were talking about. I did Google it and there is no good evidence that it causes cancer. But they think it might increase risk. It’s very hard to study that.

        Not once did I mention eating meat. I was a vegetarian for 20 years, I eat meat very occasionally nowadays.

          Oh sorry I mixed you up with the person I responded to since welll… There’s no pictures and this app kinda sucks a looooooot for giving context.

          My point on health advice stands, for all you know I’m chat gpt, and does x cause cancer is one of the fastest changing things around.
