Food Preparation and Toxicity: Grilling Nancy A. Palermo MD There is a lot more attention on our food sources and the type of food we eat. We are recognizing the importance of organic, minimally processed foods and their roles in health and disease prevention. It turns out how we cook these foods plays an equally important role. When the weather is favorable many of us cook meals on our outdoor grill.
