Marinating meat can make it taste better. But could it also SAVE YOUR LIFE? (???)
Research has shown that grilling or cooking anything at a high temperature creates compounds that are carcinogenic. Meaning, they cause cancer.
But a recent study found that marinating meat first can neutralize those compounds, and lower your risk by over 90%.
You just have to marinate your meat for at least 40 minutes using herbs, spices, and some sort of acid. A few common ones are vinegar, wine, or lemon juice.
