I mean, instead of having grilled burgers five days a week, I mean, do some roast, do some stewed meat, have some fish, other things that are not charred meats. And already you will lower your levels of exposure. We advocate for people to eat a lot of green leafy vegetables because there are things in these vegetables which are anti-carcinogenic. They're protective.

They stimulate enzymes in our body that detoxify carcinogens or antioxidants. And so I've conveyed this to Clarence and to the African community. And also when I have to give other talks to laypeople, moderation is most important. Vary diets and just don't burn the meat. I'm not telling people to be vegans. There are some people that advocate no red meat.

Life is to enjoy and part of things in life that are enjoyable is what we eat. If you can modify your diet and you can lower your exposure to these potential hazardous chemicals by Simply changing the temperature or how you cook the meat, that's already a beneficial thing. And so that's the take home message.

Well, it's communication, ultimately it's the communication to the public, right?

So, I mean, I certainly have a role in that, as does any other research investigator who's studying risk factors for disease. And also regulatory agencies are important. The American Institute of Cancer Research advocates minimizing red meat consumption, International Agency for Research in Cancer, National Institutes of Health.

These agencies are the official organizations that provide recommended guidelines. And so as we do more research and we publish more data, these organizations continuously reviewing health benefits and risk factors for diseases. And it has to come from different sources. And clearly what I need to do is to publish data to show these things.

And when I have opportunities to speak to the public, like this event today, and hopefully, you know, if someone is listening to me and says, oh, wow, yeah, I didn't realize that. I'm going to stop charring my burgers and eat the medium. I mean, I'm helping some.

Well, thank you for the kind words, Clarence. And if I might add, I didn't know what the UMEN organization was two years ago, two and a half years ago. Clarence and I've been involved in a number of meetings with the UMEN organization now and the health advocacy. And what Clarence does, I find is So inspiring for the African-American community in particular.
