Experts move step closer to understanding rise of young colon cancers

They’ve found that a combination of eating too much sugar and not enough fiber causes the gut to produce a bacteria that speeds up the aging of people’s cells.

This makes them more susceptible to mutations and damage that leads to cancer and less likely to be able to fight off the growth of tumor cells, according to new research presented at the world’s largest cancer conference this weekend.

Meanwhile, a separate study revealed at the conference theorizes that energy drinks could be partly fueling the colorectal cancer epidemic in under-50s.

Dr. Joel Furhman on Plantbased Bound Fats

In this podcast, Dr. Fuhrman discusses his views on dietary fats and shares the science behind the powerful health benefits of nuts and seeds. He does not recommend oils or animal-sourced fat. He suggests we never exceed 3 oz of  “bound fat” per meal (meaning fat that is naturally bound to its high fiber source – think avocado, olives, nuts, seeds, etc).
