We know that foods such as hot dogs, sausage and bacon can cause colon cancer. The science is irrefutable. But what about gut bacteria?

Dr. Alan Desmond returns to The Exam Room\u2122 podcast to explore the connection between gut health and the risk of colorectal cancer. The UK-based gastroenterologist also talks with \u201cThe Weight Loss Champion\u201d Chuck Carroll about a study where Americans and residents of rural parts of Africa swapped diets for two weeks and the immense change that occurred with their cancer profiles.

Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard discusses the way in which scientific advances are enabling doctors to more accurately calculate a person\u2019s risk of cancer based on their diet.

The doctors also answer viewer questions as Chuck opens The Doctor\u2019s Mailbag.
