Cover the grill. A recent study has found that a common chemical produced by grilling foods may play a significant role in causing obesity, type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.
Doctors have been struggling to find ways to reverse, or at least stem, the tide of obesity. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, and current methods for weight loss be it diet, exercise, drugs, and surgery have all been disappointing. Obesity, in turn, is also associated with a number of diseases, like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Researchers have since concluded that the best way to eliminate obesity is to prevent people from being obese altogether. Now a study has found yet another risk factor for obesity: AGEs.

Sigh! First we shouldn't fry things, now we can't grill them! Poached or stewed sausages do not sound appealing! 😱
 
Don't worry Alan, only applies to mice.:D
 
Just yet another one of those articles seeking to blame obesity on anything but the individual involved.
 
Not mentioned in this article, but I think it's not grilled food per se, but grilled food with burned bits - those mice might have difficulty cooking by any method!
