19. Charred Meat
Sure, red meats and processed meats are foods to watch if you have a family history of cancer, but really, any meat cooked at super high temperatures could be carcinogenic. High temps can cause the release of dangerous chemicals that can alter your DNA, causing mutations.
And it's no specific kind of meat — any meat that is barbecued, fried, charred, cooked well-done or is a risk. Instead, CancerCenter.org suggests that baking, boiling, or braising are the top ways to cook your meats.
