To the doctors on the board, serious question...

[Paulie]

I cook all my food throughly. I believe that a person will live a longer life if they eat the most thoroughly cooked food, to be sure that any and all bacteria are killed in the process. I don't want swine flu, or chicken flu, mad cow disease, or angry horse disease, or slightly peeved lamb disease. Oh, and e-coli too. That one looks pretty gross.

I even cook my steaks well done. Like, ZERO pink. I've been taken out back of steakhouses, beaten mercilessly, thrown into the dumpster and left for dead over asking for a filet well done. But I don't care, it's for the greater good. I also like my chicken cooked so thoroughly, that any hint of a pinkish hue gets it put back in the fire.

I'm asking for a doctor's SERIOUS opinion on this.

And not someone like fake Dr. Xox, who will most likely come in, make some kind of cryptic joke about a chicken crossing the road, that when analyzed, really just means "I have an anal fixation for Del" like all his other posts.

I want some straight up factual opinions.

I would be very happy to answer any and all of your questions.

However, you didn't ask one.

You should ask Sinatra and The T there Paulie. They seem to think they're doctors. Though they're about as much as Doctors as Dr. J was a doctor.

5 Ways to Reduce Carcinogens in Well-Done Meat

Not a doctor, but...

In order to "cook out" mad cow disease would mean cooking the meat until it is beyond inedible. We're not talking "well done". The temperatures required to render mad-cow disease inert literally disintegrates the meat to near ash status.

I know you get more vitamin and nutrients the rarer the steak is.

that gif cracks my shit up every time.


I love rare steaks. Bloody and tender. I mean, almost uncooked rare. Burgers too. If I can get a rare burger it's my lucky day.

Of course, if you're really worried about what is in the meat you eat, maybe this is for you!

o right and veggies arent a problem....most of the recalls are what...o veggies..that got pissed or shit on in the field...or rinsed in bad water...

paulie....mad cow is most dangerous from ground meats..the mixing of meats...eat good steaks and dont worry about it...seafood...raw is risky but simply eat some hot sauce..tabasco....and it helps kill any bacteria...you would have to have a steady diet of fish to worry about mercury.

If meat is murder, what about road kill? That more of a second degree manslaughter-like situation.

What about insects? Would you eat them?

Mad-cow disease is only found in organ meat. Because ground meat can be contaminated with organ meat, there is some risk with ground meat.

A good rule of thumb is that a cow should not be slaughtered which is spastic and cannot hold up it's own weight (unless it is veal - YUM!)

The infectious agent that causes Mad Cow are prions - very different from a virus and a bacteria and even any other cellular pathogen. Autoclaves don't even destroy prions, so making crispy critters for dinner won't help on that front.

I'm not sure what the OP's question is, though.

Same here. I didn't see a "?" anywhere.

Right. I also get the impression that there may be some concern that one can catch the swine flu from meat? Not sure, though. Unless someone infected sneezes on your meat, it makes no sense to discuss cooking food with respect to the flu.

Good to see I am not the only one a bit confused about the questions.

Mad Cow/CJ's disease is indestructible. Didn't you see that episode of the X-files???

I'm thinking that this entire thread was to call me out and claim that I'm not a doctor.

No shit? Man, I have to get more in the loop of the current ad hominems.

I'm pretty confident you are based on the content of your posts.
