Loads of flawed and incorrect research done on it, no conclusive research that shows even a remote link to humans. Don't believe everything you see on a Currant Affair on TV.

From the National Institute of Cancer:

'Studies have shown that exposure to HCAs and PAHs can cause cancer in rodents. In many experiments, rodents fed a diet supplemented with HCAs developed tumors of the breast, colon, liver, skin, lung, prostate, and other organs. Rodents fed PAHs also developed cancers, including leukemia and tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and lungs. 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.

Population studies have not established a link between HCA and PAH exposure from cooked meats and cancer in humans. '

So in conclusions don't feed your pet rats huge amounts of charred meat.
