A US doctors' group is suing seven leading fast-food chains including McDonald's and Burger King over their use of a "dangerous carcinogenic" in grilled chicken.
The group said every sample of grilled chicken products from the seven national chains "tested positive for a dangerous carcinogenic compound called PhIP" during analysis at an independent laboratory.
"Grilled chicken can cause cancer, and consumers deserve to know that this supposedly healthy product is actually just as bad for them as high-fat fried chicken," PCRM president Neal Barnard said in a statement.
Just what’s going on with the fast-food chains? If so much evidence is pointing there way towards cancer and health accusations, why can’t we have a definite answer? We’ve had so many different news articles concerning some doctors advising against fast-foods and people suing them but we never know what happens after that.
I just want one question to be answered: If they prove that fast-food does in fact cause cancer, will people stop eating them?

No, they wont stop, especially not in America, cause theyre too stupid to know how to cook their own meal at home...even something as simple as taking a chicken breast and putting it on a hot grill. its too much work for them
Much luff

It's not against fast food. It's against cooked animal flesh. And more importantly to make the public aware that chicken beats out beef, and pork and fish with the highest levels of the carcinogenic compound, PhIP. The fast food companies' products, of course are lower quality than what one might buy at a market. However, all meat produces PhIP when cooked over a certain temperature. (170 degrees fahrenheit for chicken.) Deep fried doesn't produce PhIP, and neither does microwaving the chicken. But, in order to eat grilled chicken one must raise it above 170 degrees F to kill the bacteria that are harmful to humans' health, thus producing PhIP.
