(HealthDay News) -- A few simple changes in how people grill outdoors, such as avoiding too much beef or processed meats and not charring foods, can aid in cancer prevention, according to an expert.
"Two aspects of the traditional American cookout, what you grill and how you grill it, can potentially raise cancer risk," Alice Bender, a dietitian with the American Institute for Cancer Research, said in an institute news release. "Diets that feature big portions of red and processed meat have been shown to make colorectal cancer more likely. Evidence that grilling itself is a risk factor is less strong, but it only makes sense to take some easy cancer-protective precautions," she added.
One way to help prevent cancer is to avoid overcooking foods on the grill, Bender said. Charring, she explained, results in the formation of cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Bender offered four other ways to grill more safely:
Add color (but not red meat). By cutting back on red meat and grilling a wider variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, people will increase their intake of phytochemicals. These naturally occurring compounds found in plants offer protection against cancer, Bender said. She suggested grilling vegetables like asparagus, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant and corn on the cob, which can be grilled whole, in chunks or in a basket. When grilling fruits, she noted, brush them with olive oil so they won't stick. Bender added that fruits should be grilled a day or two before they are completely ripe so they retain their texture.
Mix it up. Opt for chicken or fish instead of hamburgers or hotdogs.
Marinate. Marinating meat reduces the formation of HCAs, Bender advised. Marinating meats in seasoned vinegar or lemon juice for even just 30 minutes can be beneficial, she noted.
Pre-cook (partially). Pre-cooking meat will reduce the amount of time it spends exposed to high heat on the grill and reduce the formation of HCAs. Bender cautioned that partially pre-cooked meats should be transferred from the kitchen to the grill right away.
Cook slowly. By grilling meats slowly at a lower heat, they are less likely to burn or char. Bender said this will reduce the amount of HCAs and PAHs that end up on people's plates.
Bender added that visible fat should be trimmed off meats to avoid high flames or flare-ups, and that any charred portions of meat should also be cut off.

Believe it or not, the only countries to have docked a human-helmed spacecraft in the first 50 years of spaceflight were Russia and the US. That small community just got bigger, as China's Shenzhou-9 has successfully docked with the Tiangong-1 module put in orbit for just such a test. The link-up is being used for experiments in the short term, but it's a key step in a program that will ultimately lead to a full-fledged Chinese space station. On top the wider ambitions, the docking also marks a victory for gender-neutral space travel: Liu Yang, one of three crew members, is the country's first female spacefarer. China's space program has a long road ahead, but it's clear the International Space Station won't be alone for much longer.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks with members of her delegation before a session of the G20 Summit in Los Cabos, Mexico on Monday. Increasingly isolated on the world stage, Merkel faces waning popular support at home for further German-led bailouts of other euro zone nations.
By John W. Schoen, Senior Producer
WEIMAR, Germany -- Time is running out for Angela Merkel.
The German chancellor -- Europe?s last, best hope for staving off financial and economic ruin -- is running out of options to save the euro zone?s common currency.
Sunday?s cliffhanger Greek elections may have postponed Athens? departure from the common currency, along with the risk of a wider euro zone recession that would threaten Germany?s export-reliant economy. But Athens has yet to form a new government willing to accede to Germany?s demands for continued, painful spending cuts.
"We want Europe, we want to cooperate," said Filippos Nikolopoulos, a sociology professor at Crete University. "But we do not want to be subjugated by Mrs. Merkel."?
In 18 summit meetings over two years, European leaders have tried and failed to agree on a way out of the debt crisis. Now, Greece has little time to form a new government. With a shrinking cash balance leaving Athens days away from issuing IOUs to government workers, the so-called ?troika of bailout agencies? the IMF, ?EU and European Central Banks - are refusing to send a new mission to Greece until it?s clear who they will be negotiating with.
Even if a government can be formed, the political divisions that have brought Greece to the brink of economic collapse remain deeply entrenched.
?There is significant risk that this government, if formed, will be weak and short-lived,? said David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff. ?Lacking is the deep popular support needed to usher in critical legislation. Instead, we can probably look forward to policy paralysis.?
Merkel?not only faces continued resentment among Greeks but is also losing support among her own voters, especially for her plan to bind Europe more closely in a common political union that would require Germans to cede sovereignty to Brussels and turn over more power to the European Parliament.

German student Mara Loth is opposed to proposals that would tighten the European union.
?I feel more secure living in a smaller country with its own government,? said Mara Loth, an architecture student at Bauhaus University. ?I think if Europe were like the U.S. -- if all the states were put together -- I wouldn?t even understand my president because he would talk another language. So I really, really hope this?doesn't?happen.?
German prides runs high here in the town that gave its name to a democratic regime that ruled between world wars until it was undone -- largely by economic turmoil. While cable news channels are devoting heavy coverage to Merkel?s negotiations with world leaders at the G20 summit meeting in Mexico, most TV screens stay tuned to the latest round of the Euro 2012 soccer championship, in which Germany remains a strong contender.

Merkel finds herself increasingly isolated in her quest to save Europe by prescribing harsh medicine to southern neighbors that include the kind of of spending cuts and labor reforms that helped revive Germany?s moribund economy a decade ago.
For a time, Merkel enjoyed the support of her neighbor, former French President Nicolas Sarkosy, who lent the support of Europe?s second-largest economy to demands for fiscal austerity in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy. But Sarkozy's recent loss to socialist Fran?ois Hollande, who campaigned on a promise to reverse the tightfisted policies of his predecessor, has left Merkel with just a handful of smaller northern European allies. Merkel?s austerity roadmap was further eroded Sunday when French voters strengthened their support for Hollande?s new government.
Burdened by the history of two world wars fought over its former leaders' imperial ambitions, Germans are deeply averse to calls that they assume an even larger role in reversing Europe's deepening political divide and widening financial crisis. Such calls have come in recent weeks President Barack Obama, Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, among others.
Merkel has steadfastly resisted proposals for new measures such as a bank union to guarantee deposits, a debt repayment fund to free up frozen credit markets, and the pooling of borrowing among euro zone members through the creation of a common euro bond. Some economists warn that unless Merkel supports such measures, the unwinding of the euro zone will accelerate.
Germany is not unsympathetic to the plight of its struggling southern neighbors. The Berlin government has already contributed the bulk of the nearly 700 billion euros ($900 billion) raised for various bailout funds and guarantees. With demand for its exports already beginning to soften, many German workers clearly understand the threat of a widening recession outside German borders.?
But so far, the euro crisis, for most Germans, is still contained largely to newspaper headlines and TV reports.?Increasingly isolated on the world stage, Merkel faces waning popular support at home for further bailouts. Though Germans support the preservation of the common currency that helped boost their export economy, opinion polls show opposition to further bailouts running about two to one.
And there is little appetite for Merkel?s plan for a United Europe.
?Even though Germany has economic problems, it is one of the leading countries in Europe,? said Loth, the Bauhaus student. ?That?s why I feel like I?m in a good position living in Germany right compared to other European countries. I understand why, and I understand that countries having bigger economic problems need to be supported and I understand that they need help too. But I think uniting Europe is not going to solve that problem."
The need to outline a lasting strategy to save the euro currency and the escalating violence in Syria are on the agenda, as world leaders meet in Los Cabos, Mexico for a G20 summit. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
