The wonderful thing about pubmed (a medical/healthcare search engine) is that I could be searching for one thing, and end up finding something else, totally unrelated to what I was searching for, but far more interesting. An example:
Meat (within balance) is good for you. It contains all sorts of proteins/essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals that keep your body nice and healthy. Cooking meat kills off nasty bacteria, but it can also increase the number of cancer causing chemicals, aka mutagens (relatively tiny, tiny amounts - you'd have to go really overboard for it to have a major effect). However, marinading meat before cooking it can reduce the formation of these mutagens, thereby making the meat safer to eat.
Just don't use sugar, apparantly.
