    • Say pilsner and black beer is most effective
    • Can halve the amount of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which have been linked to colorectal cancer
    As barbecue season approaches, researchers have discovered an unlikely ingredient that could improve the safety of your meat - letting it swill in beer.

    They say that letting meat marindade in pilsner can help reduce the formation of potentially harmful cancer-causing substances in grilled meats.

    They say pilsner and black beer are most effective, halving the amount of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which have been linked to colorectal cancer.

    Great research Brian. If I dip my ciggarettes in beer prior to smoking, will this reduce my chances of lung cancer? Sorry, had to go there. I think I may have drunk too many sam adams rebel ipa's tonight.

    I have seen and read a couple articles recently on the same subject but this is the first I've heard of beer as a marinade. We all know beer goes with anything...

    Thanks Brian
