About this episode
Do milk and dairy belong in the same category as tobacco and processed meat? On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, health benefits of dairy are debated as renowned epidemiologist Dr. Gary Fraser joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll . Does cheese or a glass of milk increase the risk for cancer and chronic disease or are they the cornerstones of a healthy diet? Some of the research being discussed may be counter to what many who subscribe to a plant-based diet believe. Dr. Fraser served as the director of the Adventist health studies at Loma Linda for 32 years and was heavily involved in the Adventist Health Study-1 as well as the development of the Adventist Health Study-2. Chuck also explores other research that shows dairy can be more nefarious when it comes to your health as he revisits a conversation with oncology nutritionist Alison Tierney . She strongly recommends eliminating dairy as eating a whole food plant-based diet has been shown to be one of the best preventative measures for cancer and other chronic diseases. Alison , whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, discusses the link between dairy fat and estrogen as well as the production of other potentially cancer-causing hormones such as 5alpha-P and IGF-1. Dr. Fraser will be a featured speaker at the upcoming International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine . — — — ICNM Register: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm — — — Associations of Dairy Study https://bit.ly/3f36LMR — — — Alison Tierney https://www.wholesomellc.com PCOS Journey: https://bit.ly/3gv7WoD — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook YouTube: https://bit.ly/PCRMYouTube — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment: https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts , Spotify or many other podcast providers.
