is it healthy?

i keep burning pizza's, burritos, pizza rolls,, pancakes, boiled eggs, bacon, rice, and i even burnt carrots once.

i know I'm a terrible cook .

i don't want to waste the food, so i eat it burnt

Carbon causes cancer.

There's no such thing as healthy

and

it will not hurt you.

Take arsenic and talk back in 5.

As for burnt food, I tend to eat lots of it as well. In fact, when cooking, I'll intentionally burn some of my food for the taste. Including but not limited to pastas, meats, and others...

The toxicity of arsenic does not prove the existence of healthy food. Congratulations jackass, you've been awarded the order of Darwin; for citing a negative as evidence for your point.

YES OF COURSE ITS GOOD FOR YOU YOU DUMBFUCK. I HAVE BEEN EATING MEAT AND FAST FOOD FOR YEARS. ITS GOOD ASHED, YOU PUSSY. WHATS THE WORLD COMING TO AND THIS "HEALTHY FOOD" CRAP, BE A MAN. NOTHINGS HEALTHY, ITS ALL A CONSPIRACY.:mad:

yes of course its good for you you dumbfuck. I have been eating meat and fast food for years. Its good ashed, you pussy. Whats the world coming to and this "healthy food" crap, be a man. Nothings healthy, its all a conspiracy.:mad:

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Careful with the the caps next time, please; you don't want to go about sounding like a raving lunatic ;)

Carbon causes cancer.

i thought it was just the byproduct of burning proteins that did it, or is it carbon as well??? :confused:

Heat smashes organic molecules into lots of other molecules, a lot of which are very carcinogenic. But then again, what doesn't cause cancer?

Carbon causes cancer.

Hahaha, that's retarded. Every living thing contains carbon and without carbon there would be no life. By "carbon" you're referring to the burnt shit.


It is not healthy to eat burnt food because they produce a group of cancer causing substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) When cooking it's best - wherever possible- to use relatively low temperature methods such as steaming, boiling, poaching, stewing, casseroling, braising, baking, stir frying, microwaving or roasting. Hope this helps.

Also heat destroys a lot of nutrients, enzymes, and antioxidants present in food.

Cooking often increases the quality, for example the protein availability in eggs increases when they are cooked as opposed to raw. The same has been demonstrated in vegetation and meat.

Effect of cooking on protein quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) seeds
Amino acid composition and in vitro protein digestibility of cooked chickpea
were determined and compared to raw chickpea seeds. Heat treatment produced
a decrease of methionine, cysteine, lysine, arginine, tyrosine and leucine,
the highest reductions being in cysteine (15%) and lysine (13.2%). Protein
content declined by 3.4% and in vitro protein digestibility improved
significantly from 71.8 to 83.5% after cooking. The decrease of lysine was
higher in the cooked chickpea seeds than in the heated protein fractions,
globulins and albumins. The structural modification in globulins during heat
treatment seems to be the reason for the increase in protein digestibility,
although the activity of proteolytic inhibitors in the albumin fraction was
not reduced. Results suggest that appropriate heat treatment may improve the
bioavailability of chickpea proteins.

Effect of domestic processing on the cooking time, nutrients, antinutrients
andin vitro Protein digestibility of the African yambean (Sphenostylis
stenocarpa)
Abstract The effects of processing (soaking, dehulling, fermentation and
heat treatment) on the cooking time, protien, mineral, tannin, phytate and
in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of the african yambean (AYB) were
examined. The cooking time ranged from 90-155 minutes. Soaking reduced
cooking time by about 50 percent. Soaking for 12 hours was the most
appropriate to reduce cooking time, tannin and phytate levels. It improved
in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD). Prolonged soaking (24 hours)
decreased calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) values by 19 percent and 35 percent,
respectively. Dehulling showed that Ca, Fe, magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn)
were concentrated in the seed coat of the AYB. The seeds soaked and dehulled
retained Mg and Zn. Dehulling reduced tannin but had no significant effect
on phytate and the IVPD of the AYB except for seeds soaked for 12 hours
before dehulling. Soaking for 24 hours before dehulling significantly
increased crude protein content by 16 percent (p<0.05). Blanching and
roasting increased the IVPD by 8-11 percent. Fermentation had no effect on
the crude protein, Ca, Fe, Mg and Zn but significantly reduced phytate
content of the AYB. Fermentation had no advantage over heat treatment with
respect to improving the in vitro protein digestibility of the AYB.

did that guy just refer to stir frying as a "low temperature" form of cooking.

yeah, heat destroys certain organic substances (such as with antioxidants in tea), but it also breaks down cell walls and stuff, allowing you to get at nutrients that were normally blocked. tomatoes is a good example of this.

I thought the same about roasting. I'm guessing he's saying not to grill your food too much. Also, what you're saying about cell walls is true but that doesn't mean cook the shit out of it.
