Grenfell Cancers?

[securespark]

Firefighters who saved lives at Grenfell Tower diagnosed with terminal cancer

Up to a dozen firefighters who saved lives at the Grenfell Tower have been diagnosed with cancers; the majority of which are understood to be digestive cancers and leukaemia, for which there is no cure

very sad - being a fire-fighter is a very very risky occupation and probably the fire itself is one of the lesser risks. We use a lot of very complex chemicals in nearly everything we make now, and I seriously doubt anyone truly understands the chemicals that will be released when these things are burnt. Best keep well clear of the fumes of anything that is burning these days

As a society we have been schooled to be complacent about so many things.

People seem to have the attitude that just because it doesn't kill you instantly it won't kill you in 20yrs time.

Such as a build up of acrylamides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines in your body resulting in cancer from the food you eat when cooking it in air fryers.

Eh?

It's almost as if you are suggesting that the air fryer cooking process is placing carcinogens into food, that would not be present by any alternative cooking process, correct?

Or was your post a joke?

Just saying that they are not the risk free healthy alternative that Dork thinks they are cracked up to be. Like smoking and sugar for example, only time will tell. My comment was aimed at Dork, chief champion and drum banger of air fryers on this forum.

Air fryers ROCK, pitta bread pizza & KFC style chicken is now my staple diet.

Correct.

Nonsense.

Air frying can create other harmful compounds​

While air fryers reduce the likelihood of acrylamide formation, other potentially harmful compounds could still form.

Not only does air frying still run the risk of creating acrylamides, but polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines can result from all high-heat cooking with meat.

These compounds have associations with cancer risk, according to the National Cancer InstituteTrusted Source.

Scientists need to do additional research to clarify exactly how air frying and these compounds correlate.

Air fried food is not guaranteed to be healthful​

Air fryers are capable of making foods that are healthier than deep-fried food, but keep in mind that fried food is still fried food. When cooking excessively with oil, there will always be associated health effects.

Are air fryers healthy? Benefits and risks

Air fryers use hot air to fry foods. Sources claim that they are a healthful alternative to other cooking methods, but others raise concerns about toxicity and cancer risks. In this article, we take a close look at the research behind the health benefits and risks of using air fryers.

You get acrylamide when ever you 'brown' predominately, starchy foods, this applies to normal ovens and frying pans.

Back to the pot noodles.

One of the more recent Grand Design episodes was a couple building a house with the objective of it being a healthy space for their son who had various severe allergies. During the process, the couple became well versed in odours that are given off by almost everything around us in the home, whether part of the building fabric or furniture and other decor. Some of these odours are known to be detrimental to health. They even went to the extent of buying a second hand sofa due to the odours given off by new sofas. And the carpets weren't off the peg either due to the glues used in the manufacturing process.

I suppose most people don't give it a second thought.

When you next visit your Goirman budget supermarket of choice pick up a pack of fresh meat & look for the list of ingredients. If it has anything other than 100% (meat) then it might not be what you think it is.

Spam should be safe though, right?

Cancer is now the Firefighters disease , I have been a firefighter for 30 odd years most of my comrades have succumbed to it, those that are still surviving like me are having Radio Therapy treatment , The twin towers 341 firefighters were killed, but since then over 1.000 rescuers have died from Cancer related illness The Fire Brigades Union are campaining to make Cancer an Industrial Disease, its not just the fumes from fires but dirt that gets on uniforms when tackling an incident , changes in Firefighter Uniforms , materials , cleaning have now become a priority .

How would you know? You openly admit that pitta bread and KFC style fried chicken are your staple diet.
