Rosemary Never Fails for a Marinade
One of my favorite marinades for meat happens to be rosemary-based (click here for my recipe). So I was delighted to find out that rosemary actually helps to reduce toxins in grilled meat.
When you cook meats at high temperatures, it creates certain toxins, called heterocyclic amines which are linked to some cancers. But cooking meat with rosemary significantly reduces the formation of these toxins, in some cases by as much as 90%!
It's such a pleasure to find out a food you already like happens to also be good for you. Certainly better than the reverse phenomenon! Click here for the full New York Times article. Happy Grilling!
