Cooking food at high heat, like grilling or frying, creates chemicals that can damage your DNA and lead to cancer.
Scientists mostly use special tools called chromatography methods to find and measure harmful cancer-causing chemicals in food.
When foods are cooked or prepared in ways like grilling, frying, or fermenting, they can sometimes create harmful chemicals that might cause cancer.
Some chemicals in food can cause cancer, and experts rank them from definitely cancer-causing to ones they're not sure about.
