Scientists from the University of Kansas came to the conclusion that there is an easy way to make roasted meat, including beef, pork and chicken, safer for health - you just need to add ground black pepper. According to experts, black pepper allows to reduce the levels of carcinogenic compounds that are formed when meat is cooked at high temperatures. In one study, experts added 1 gram of ground black pepper to 100 g of ground beef and fried it. This ratio was effective in eliminating harmful substances, but, unfortunately, the severity of the meat was so pronounced that it was impossible to eat.

A more acceptable and equally effective option was the combination of black pepper with other spices such as oregano and garlic. In addition, rosemary, basil, sage, marjoram, cloves and sweet pepper work no less well..

Experts say that adding black pepper and antioxidant-rich spices to meat makes it possible to reduce the content of carcinogenic compounds in meat by almost 100%.

Spices are not the only way to reduce the content of dangerous compounds in fried meat. Scientists also found that marinating meat before cooking allows you to get a safer, healthier dish. At the same time, researchers note that too long to pickle meat should not be, otherwise it can cause the opposite effect - a couple of hours is enough.
