    The frying is important because that means they’re also eating that food, and fried food has links to cancer. Frying also releases a lot of VOCs, regardless of heat source.

      Yeah, the VOCs seemed to be the main focus. The introduction talked about how most cooking studies have been on people still using biomass fuel in low income regions, and they wanted to look if higher income areas using more modern methods of cooking still suffered the same increased lung cancer risks.
