True or False > Barbecued meat is a health risk

TRUE

When meat is cooked at temperatures above 180 c /350 F/Gas Mark 4, chemical changes produce amines, some of which are toxic, warns the National Cancer Institute in the United States. They advise substituting gentler cooking methods such as poaching and stewing for barbecuing, roasting, grilling and frying. Barbecuing is especially suspect as carcinogenic vapours from the charcoal concentrate in meat. This becomes a cancer risk if you eat barbecued food regularly. By eating plenty of fruit, vegetable, and salads, you will help to defend the body against toxins and carcinogens.

Decline food, properly

Got a family of food pushers? When confronted with your aunt's tuna casserole and an eager, "Go on , eat, eat," simply reply, "It looks good, but it just doesn't agree with my tummy." Food issues are so common today that it's unlikely they'll press you. If you don't want to try the allergies excuse, simply let your host knowahead of time that you've recently eaten. 

Curb bad breath when you're on a date.

Stranded without a toothbrush or mint? Dash off to the bathroom and gargle some water, before using a paper towel to scrape the back of your tounge. This will help remove any odour-causing bacteria, leaving you fresh and ready for that kiss at the end of the night.

Survive wearing the exact same outfit as someone else at a party.

Change it up as much as possible. If her hair's down, quickly go into the bathroom and puts yours up. Wearing a skirt? Roll up the waistband to elongate your legs. Double-dress slips-up aren't the end of the world; if both of you notice, point it out, and have a laugh! At least you can say you both have the same taste.

Remove scuffs on leather shoes.

Though light scuffs can be disguised with a little shoe polish, darker ones are a bit harder to manage. Save those patent leather Mary Janes with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.

PMR result is tomorrow!!!

I feel like I wanna SCREAM my lungs out!!! The result will be released tomorrow morning.. My heart's been thumping like mad. Oh I hope my result would be good.. Even if it just 5A's, that's just enough for a stupid brain like me.. haha Anyway, wish me luck guys.. {if you are so kind, pray too} joking2

Erase Stains

For general stains, gently brush the spot with warm, soapy water. For more stubborn ones, try diluted ammonia or a crushed aspirin. To avoid a disaster, read the fabric instructions and test it out on a small patch first. As for deodorant marks, rub them with the inside of your shirt or a dark cloth. Don't use a paper towel as it will leave white marks.

20 Solutions TO 20 common LIFE DRAMAS by Joanna Barry & Kathleen Lee-Joe

Approach a GUY at a bar. 

Don't be shy. Remember, being of the fairer sex, you already have the upper hand! Go in confidently, but calmly, with an approachable smile and open with a good, offbeat line - even a personal observation works. If you sense he's interested, casually suggest  a future meeting. If talking to him for two minutes did less than impress, you don't have to feel pressured to leave your number. He'll feel flattered whether or not he scored 

your digits.

Open A Jar That's Stuck

Though the traditional method was to ask the nearest male, we found he can be easily replaced with a rubber band. All you have to do is place a thick rubber band around the lid, get a good grip, and twist. 

Deal With Wardrobe Malfunction

It's important to always keep an emergency kit handy, so you can quickly dim "headlights" with nipple covers or avoid a Tara Reid-scenario with strips of fashion tape. Got a stuck zipper? Run a bar of soap over the teeth - the friction will free it up. For stocking ladders, always have a bottle of clear nail polish at the ready. 

Sober Up Fast

If you find yourself getting more drunk than you'd like, step away from the bottle and start drinking water.Eat fructose-rich foods such as fruits, honey and any form of candy, and, if you want to get rid of alcohol breath , down a spoon of mustard.

Mend Clothing Like An Expert

You needn't ask your mother anymore. To fix a pulled thread, buy a "knit picker" from a local fabric store and use it to pull the thread back into the weave. Mending a patch? Just turn the garment inside-out and make small stitches back and forth along the tear. Alternatively, let the holes grow big a la Alexander Wand.

Keep Champers Fizzy After It's Been Opened

Unfortunately, the ol' keep-a-spoon-in-the-bottle trick is a myth. So invest in a champagne stopper, which locks into place on the bottle. But, really, the best way to stop the bubbly going flat is to drink it! Just go easy, OK?

Re-gift Without Getting Busted

In tough economic times, re-getting is no longer seen as tacky... in fact, everyone does it! To pull it off, never pass on a present across gender, age, or holiday lines. Approach the art with caution and make a list to ensure you don't re-gift to the same person who gave it to you - extremely awkward! Also, beware as the expiration date will give away your dirty little secret.
