Welcome to the Exam Room Podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee.

I am the Weight Loss Champion, Chuck Carroll, and this is a momentous broadcast.

This is the first time we're streaming the Exam Room live on Facebook.

You know, the podcast already downloaded hundreds of thousands of times on iTunes, Spotify,

et cetera, but we are thrilled to be here doing a Facebook live stream today.

So thank you very much for joining us.

And for this big one, this huge, ginormous topic, it's one that can help virtually everyone.

Today we're talking about foods that can help fight cancer.

And a leading expert on all of this is Dr. Neil Barnard.

My man, thank you so much for being here today.

Thank you, Chuck.

Glad to be here.

Now, before we get rolling, I should say that if you have any questions that you would

like to ask, I encourage you to just leave them in the comments section below.

We will be having a little bit of Q&A in just a little while.

And my question to you is this, very simply, how big of a role does diet play when it

comes to cancer?

Well, you know, historically people have thought food wouldn't matter.

It's genetic.

It's bad luck, or you've got some genetic mutation from a chemical you're exposed to.
