Not long after her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, a 20-year-old girl (China) was suddenly diagnosed with colon cancer. Worried about her diet and lifestyle, the girl sought advice from nutritionist Xu Qiongyue (China).
Through investigation, the doctor learned that the girl's family often grilled meat three times a week, and they even used old tires as a grill. Even though the food was burnt, everyone still tried to eat it all.

Dr. Hua said that the mother and daughter’s cancer may be related to inhaling and eating toxic substances from grilling meat for a long time. Smoke from burning tires may contain carcinogens, and when grilling meat on old tires, these toxic gases will be emitted, directly harming health.
Dr. Hua warns that if food is burnt, you should absolutely not eat it. If you cannot throw it all away, at least remove the burnt part. In addition, not only eating burnt food but also inhaling polluted particles in the air when grilling meat also increases the risk of cancer. These particles also stick to clothes, hair and disperse in the surrounding space.
