Are you a fan of the barbecue? It is said that when you fry, broil or grill meats at super high temperatures it creates HCAs (heterocyclic amines). These are potent carcinogens that are implicated a number of cancers. That is why they say don’t eat too much meat much less too much heavily burned or barbecued meat. Rosemary believe it or not, can help reduce HCA levels. If you use rosemary extract, a common powder in the spice section of the store, and mix it with the beef before cooking, it can help. Rosemary contains  and rosemarinic acid, two powerful antioxidants that destroy the HCAs.

Rosemary might also even stop tumors in their growth path. The reason is that rosemary extract helps prevent carcinogens that enter the body from binding with DNA. Since this is the first step in tumor formation, researchers think it helps. A study at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign fed rosemary extract to rats who had been exposed to exposed to dimethylbenzanthracene, a carcinogen that causes breast cancer. Both the DNA damage and tumors decreased with the rosemary. Obviously they have to do human studies but it no doubt shows that rosemary has a lot of cancer-protective potential. It doesn’t hurt to add this miracle spice to your cooking arsenal.

To maximize the benefits and to reduce HCAs, you can marinate your chicken in any of those supermarket spice mix packets that contains rosemary. Such spice packs may also contain other good herbs such as thyme, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, or parsley. If you have a rosemary bush you can really take advantage of this spice too. Take the branches and cut several. Then wash carefully under hot water. When grilling chicken put the rosemary branches right on top. Your chicken will turn out wonderful and you will get your take of this excellent miracle herb.
