Maybe read the article? No link in humans. Rats tested were given massive doses, etc.
Pretty much. It reminds me of click bait honestly. It's like when they said they found proof that vaping can cause cancer by basically nuking the fucking vape liquid to temperatures that could not be possible with a vaporizer.

Such a pile of shit. If you don't already know that they can link anything to cancer at this point, you haven't been paying attention. You can find a paper linking literally every substance to cancer.

From the article that Eomer linked
Studies have shown that exposure to HCAs and PAHs can cause cancer in animal models (6). In many experiments, rodents fed a diet supplemented with HCAs developed tumors of the breast, colon, liver, skin, lung, prostate, and other organs (7?12). Rodents fed PAHs also developed cancers, including leukemia and tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and lungs (13).However, the doses of HCAs and PAHs used in these studies were very high?equivalent to thousands of times the doses that a person would consume in a normal diet.

Well they also went on to say this:

Nevertheless, numerous epidemiologic studies have used detailed questionnaires to examine participants' meat consumption and meat cooking methods to estimate HCA and PAH exposures. Researchers found that high consumption of well-done, fried, or barbecued meats was associated with increased risks of colorectal (14), pancreatic (15, 16), and prostate (17, 18) cancer.
But I agree, everything has been linked to cancer. Everything. Well maybe not water, but that's coming soon!

Watched a basic home made YouTube video the other day about grilling and the dude says not to let any blackness or char happen to the meat because that char is made of carbon which is a carcinogen.

Carbon.
i'm pretty sure my tumor had a whole lot of carbon in it, what more proof do you need?

Certainly not the first time I've heard of it either. Also that deep frying potatoes releases a carcinogen, which there's been work to genetically modify out of the potato because evil monsanto big pharma playing god unnatural corporations.

So no charred meat or french fries if you want to live. If you can call that living!

Life just happens to have a 100% mortality rate. So if you just stop living you will never Die!

Almost everything -is- carcinogenic. But the thing is that the body is well suited to regulate it own reproduction. It's kinda like that's the entire purpose of the body, to self-sustain. By the time you have cancerous masses large enough that you can stage them it means that multiple and redundant cellular defense mechanisms have failed AND multiple and redundant systemic defense mechanisms have failed. There are five things that absolutelymusthappen on a cellular dna level before "cancer" can take hold in your body.

The risk factor for blackened char has to be insignificant. But still greater than 0.

Technically correct might be the best kind of correct but it is not always the most useful form of correct.

Not really, but I'm too lazy to go into the deviation of molecular mechanisms and biochemical pathways that can lead to cancer or at least some types of cancers.

Whatever Zzy. Cancer is super easy to understand. It works like this: eat slightly charred bbq chicken -> die instantly.
A cancer cell is basically an asshole cell that just thinks of himself and wants to take everything from surrounding cells and force his culture on you. In other words, a cancerous cell is one that has converted to islam

WAIT!!!

Could humans have evolved a love of garlic to counteract the cancer we were getting from eating charred food??

We learned agriculture as a species because we had to cultivate cloves of garlic to save us from the brink of extinction brought on by a massive wave of cancer after we discovered fire and started charring our meat.

Well, you have to tease out how much impact that has versus the influence of vampires on human garlic consumption to find out!
