The Study
Extraction and analytical approaches for the determination of post-food processing major carcinogens: A comprehensive review towards healthier processed food.
This is like a book report about what other scientists have found - it summarizes research but doesn't do any new experiments itself. It can tell us what other studies have suggested, but it can't prove anything on its own.

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