2. Regarding the connection between methods of cooking meat and the risk of cancer, which of
the following statements is true?
1. Pot-roasting and stewing produces carcinogens known to cause cancer in animals.
2. Consumption of rare meat is a recognized risk factor for gastrointestinal cancer.
3. Individuals have genetic differences in enzymes that influence the activation of carcinogens.
4. Microwaving inactivates carcinogens that form in protein foods during cooking.
Ans: 3
Feedback
1. Pot-roasting and stewing reduce the amount of heterocyclic aromatic amines
(carcinogens) released.
2. Consumption of rare meat has not been shown as a risk factor for
gastrointestinal cancer.
, 3. Genetics affect the mobilization of the body’s defenses. Individuals vary in
their metabolizing enzymes to activate potential carcinogens and, in defense
of the body, to counter oxidative stress and to repair damaged DNA. The
ability to manage and prevent oxidative stress depends on functioning
endogenous and exogenous antioxidant defense systems, both of which may
be influenced by individual genetic variation.
4. Microwaving has been shown to help alleviate the changes in taste sensation,
such as bitterness. {AU/ED: this answer doesn’t seem to be relevant to the
topic at hand.}
