Meat cooked at high temperatures may increase bladder cancer risk

COOKING meat at high temperatures, or until it is well done, could increase the risk of bladder cancer, experts said yesterday.

The warning to barbecue-lovers adds weight to other research which has suggested charred meat may cause other cancers, including pancreatic cancer.

In the latest study, scientists found that people who eat meat regularly, especially meat that is well done or cooked at high temperatures, may have a higher chance of developing bladder cancer.
