The Claim
The application of spices prior to frying, grilling, or roasting meat is associated with a reduction in the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), with response ratios of 0.52, 0.63, and 0.74, respectively, indicating decreased levels of these potentially carcinogenic compounds.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adding spices to meat before cooking it at high heat might lower the amount of harmful chemicals that can form, which could make the food safer to eat.
