It's not the "burger", it's the bun, fries, and sugar soda. Kids are getting obese and diabetic more than ever. Candy, cakes, chips, and more soda.

True - but the real reason for Diabetes, is fake sugar IE: High Fructose Corn Syrup - which is found in almost EVERYTHING!!!

I ate of tons junk food growing up in the 70's but everyone was thin then - reason - no HFCS and we actually had gym class, and walked or biked everywhere

The study of PAHs in moist snuff, which was published last week, was reported entirely without context. Forum members might be interested to read my scientific critique of this study. It's available at http://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com, and it's somewhat technical, but there are straightforward take-home messages putting this research into perspective.

Best regards,

Thanks Brad,

Another thing about PAH exposure is even no matter what magic number actually is in a can of tobacco, our actual exposure to it is a fraction of what is in the can (unless we are eating it). We only get a percentage of the nicotine in a can, I'm sure our exposure to PAHs are no different.

As for the truth of their claims beyond that, perhaps it is true. Same would be then said then for steak cooked on the grill.

Actually sage, grilled meat is linked to chemicals called polyaromatic carbons. When meat is charred these molecules are released, which have been identified as possibly increasing your risk of cancer.

Now not to say eating steak or ribs will give you cancer, but the process of fire seems to change most organic foodstuffs.
