Yep. I've been reading a book on depression (for a family member
) and it's all about trying to beat depression without the use of drugs.
Anyhow, a large part of the book is about how our food (technologically speaking) has advanced more rapidly advanced than our bodies can handle. I know this is off-topic from charred meat. But one of the things that they really talk about it is how most of our meat sources these days that are farm raised are fed grain. Versus the hunter-gatherer days when everything was grass fed. The meat then had more Omega-3 oils in them.
So I guess how I'm trying to tie this in is by saying that our bodies are constantly evolving, but at a much, much slower pace than how we're trying to force them too. Our ancestors in the hunter-gatherer times, ate meat and they cooked most of it over an open flame.
I'm no doctor, but I'd guess that eating charred or smoked meat every single day probably isn't good for you. So eat it in moderation and get plenty of sleep, exersize, and have a good social life, and you'll be fine. Oh yeah, eat more fish too. Fresh, non-farm raised on grain food fish, is supposed to be a key factor too.
I know it's something lots of people wrestle with, so I thought I throw that out there.
