Grilled doens't have to mean smoked. The problem with grilling in some cultures is that they cook over the fire. In my country, we cook above the hot coal when it doesn't release smoke anymore. Grilled meat and vegetables can be very healthy if you know how to cook them the right way.

I always thought it was, but after researching, I found that grilling red meats, poultry and fish produce compounds called HCAs that have been found to cause tumors in animals. Also, drippings from the meats onto charcoal form carcinogens called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Marinades are said to help reduce the forming of these carcinogens during grilling.

grilled food is very good for your health i believe most experts would reccomend eating grilled food rather than fryed as it does not have as much calories and fat in it when you grill food most of the fat comes of in grill there for making it healthy i would reccomend that you carry on enjoying grilled food as part of a healthy life style

Moderation is the best policy. Compared to greasy and fried stuff, definitely grilled is better. Still good to have some balance in every grilled food you eat. That way, you can eat as much grill as you want. :)
