    Char contains a variety of compounds that can be carcinogenic. It’s usually worse with meats than veggies, though veggies still produce at small amount. However, if some char or smoke gets you to eat more otherwise unprocessed vegetables, don’t worry about it; the health benefits pretty much always outweigh the additional risk.
