This Food Causes Cancer And We Eat A Lot Of It | Dr. Neal Barnard

The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee

One of the most popular foods in the world is causing cancer. The average American eats almost 60 pounds of it every year.

Red meat.

Whether it's a hamburger or steak, red meat is strongly linked to cancer. The World Health Organization classifies it as a class 2a carcinogen, putting it in the same category as scores of hazardous chemicals and other agents.

Experts believe that red meat is behind a surge of colon cancer cases among younger adults. We examine the report and explore what it could mean for your cancer risk as Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live.

Topics Discussed

- Why are colon cancer rates rising?

- Red meat's role in cancer cases

- Healthier options to lower cancer risk

- Reducing cancer recurrence

- Genetics vs. diet and lifestyle

- And more

This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.
