Nowadays, it is popular to grill food with gas or liquefied gas because it is clean and does not pollute the air. However, it has been scientifically proven that food grilled with gas or natural gas is more harmful to the body than food grilled with charcoal. The combustion of gas and natural gas can produce many harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, which attach to food and contaminate it. In addition, during the grilling process, the protein and fat in the food will undergo chemical changes, which may cause the protein, fat and other components to decompose into low molecular weight or polymerize into high molecular weight and other harmful substances, and at the same time, can generate harmful substances such as 3,4-benzopyrrolidone and nitrosamines. These harmful substances make food toxic to a certain extent. Eating these toxic foods will affect people's health and may even cause malformations, mutations, and cancer.
