Grilled chicken not a healthy choice?

While people who are trying to eat healthy have stopped cooking down their chicken here comes news of the cancer risks from eating grilled chicken - now I`m not suggesting for a moment that you eat raw chicken but we all need to be aware of the carcinogens in our food. I remember as a child when we were told butter was bad for us so my mother changed to margarine and then when I became an adult and everybody had their little tub of Chiffon margarine in their fridge we heard it was plastic and would never come out of our intestines remember that ? So back to butter we went, in fact where is Chiffon margarine now? Then we heard all that milk that the milk man used to bring with the lovely cream on the top was going to kill us so milk became pasteurized and homogenized....do you see where we are heading with that now ? Good old fricassee chicken seems not to be so bad when we are cooking chicken(WHICH WE EAT TOO MUCH OF ANYWAY) take note of the following from The Cancer Project Update

Grilled chicken has long been touted as the healthy choice for consumers, yet this could not be further from the truth. PhIP, a type of heterocyclic amine (HCA), is a well-known carcinogen identified by The National Institutes of Health. Independent tests found the chemical PhIP in 100 grilled chicken samples from seven restaurant chains. Based on this evidence, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) recently filed and won a lawsuit against fast food companies selling unsafe food. The lawsuit was originally filed under California’s Proposition 65, which states that consumers must be warned about products that contain known carcinogens. Fast-food companies will be put on trial for selling products containing a known carcinogen and will be forced to post warnings in California restaurants about the cancer risk of grilled chicken.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, another reminder to stay ahead of the curve and avoid these risky products. In the United States, more than 209,000 cases of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in 2010, according the American Cancer Society. Human studies have shown that exposure to PhIP, even at low levels, is associated with increased breast cancer risk. Individuals consuming the most PhIP can have up to a 90 percent increased risk compared to those with the lowest consumption. Other studies found those with the highest PhIP intake had more than a 2.5-fold increased breast cancer risk. Other cancers identified with PhIP and HCA exposure include cancers of the colon, rectum, and prostate.
A common mistake is to consider methods of cooking meat, like grilling, steaming, and boiling to be healthful; however, any method of cooking animal tissue can create HCAs. Meat naturally contains amino acids and a protein called creatine. When heated, the combination of amino acids and creatine form HCAs. Since there are no safe levels of exposure to this carcinogen, it is recommended to avoid the consumption of meats for cancer prevention and survival.
The time is now to create awareness about the ways individuals can take control over their cancer risk. Since environment and lifestyle account for up to 90-95 percent of all cancers, adopting a whole-foods plant-based diet, keeping a positive mindset, and engaging in physical movement are the best tools currently available for cancer prevention. This October help The Cancer Project’s mission and your loved ones by spreading the message of prevention.

When we try to eat right and switch to a healthy plant based diet- one with food free of herbicides and pesticides by buying organic or growing our own- we will stop putting ourselves in harms way.
Once we get the information and know what we are doing to our bodies we can choose not to take heed,but remember life is a choice so choose well!
We are NOTHING without our health!
