Day 81

Another of my favorite artists....awesome voice and entertainer...Martin Sexton



BREAKFAST

Big bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and banana. Nice hot cup of freshly roasted coffee.

An article about grilling meat....

Bad news for that greasy steak! Discussed at the 2009 Meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research, individuals who regularly eat burned or barbecued red meat may have a 60% higher risk of pancreatic cancer. Charred meat contains cancer-causers like heterocyclic amines. For the study, researchers closely monitored the diet of 62,000 healthy people. Over nine years 208 participants were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The participants eating foods like hamburgers were far more likely to develop cancer. And very well-done meat came with a 70% higher cancer risk; Reuters reports.

Barbecued meat is a nightmare. Last year, a study showed diets loaded with red meat increase risk of colon cancer. Grilled chicken is no better. In January, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine warned against grilled chicken, due to PhIP, another known carcinogen. And fake charring food is horrible too. Smoke flavorings are now being linked with liver and kidney problems.

But some folks don’t take a hint. The ballpark for the Gateway Grizzlies, a minor league baseball team in Illinois, sells a grilled burger topped with bacon and cheese served in a glazed doughnut....ouch!!!!!
LUNCH

Made myself a veggie wrap...pretty darn good!

SUPPER

Had burritos made with veggie ground round, onions, red pepper, green pepper, black beans, and taco spices. Absolutely delicious!

more later....
