How intertwined is the strength of our immune system and the food that we're eating?

It's very, very strong. It's not talked about enough. The immune system is such that it holds a lot of memory from previous exposures, let's say, to various pathogens and holds a lot of memory.

So if the test is coming around a year or something similar, it can actually organize its efforts just beautifully. And so what tends to work with one passage and tends to work with another.

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

Hi, I am the Weight Loss Champion, Chuck Carroll. Thank you so very much for raising your health IQ with us coast to coast in the US and in more than 150 countries.

Hi to everyone listening in Cranston, Rhode Island, Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Hanover, Germany, where ever you are, we appreciate you helping to make the world a healthier place.

This is Episode 6 of Season 6, number 402 overall.

Episode 5, it also is of our Health All-Star series. And it features a gentleman who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Nutrition.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell is with us today. He, of course, the famed author of The China Study.

And the question on our plate today is whether the dinner you ate last night is impacting your body's ability to fight off a cold today.

Is food the first line of defense against viruses, or perhaps even worse, major diseases such as cancer?

And specific two diseases can die, both help to not only prevent them, but also join in the fight should someone find themselves unfortunately diagnosed with them.

You will hear Dr. T. Colin Campbell talk a lot about T-cells during the interview today.

I also had a chance to ask him about whether men or women are more impacted by animal proteins.

And we'll also be taking a closer look at K-Seen. And that is a protein that is found in cow's milk.

Because Dr. Campbell calls it the most significant carcinogen that humans consume.

And he admits some of this takes their hot takes for sure.

But he says these are conversations we should all be having.

And those conversations can begin right now on the exam room.

Sir, thank you so very much for making the time.

Thank you, Chuck. It's a delight.

Let's talk about the diet and the immune system.
