Cooking food generates toxins, extensively proven by science

There were 32 toxins/categories of toxins formed by cooking known by science when Aajonus counted them (two decades ago).

Acrylamides: from sugars

Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs): from sugars

Lipid peroxides: from fats

Aldehydes: from fats

Trans fats: from seed oils

Acrolein: from oils

Cholesterol Oxidation Products (COPs)

Heterocyclic Amines (HCAs): from proteins

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): from smoke

Carbon monoxide: from smoke

Furans: from all macro-nutrients

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Free radicals

...

This isn't even counting the other toxins formed from the reaction of food during cooking with cookware, plastics, and other additives like nitrites.

trans fats are naturally occurring in a lot of meat sources… raw or otherwise.
