A Teachable Moment | The untimely death of Chadwick Boseman inspired me to give this talk about risk factors for colon cancer including inflammation and the foods that contribute to inflammation. Science has proven that chronic Inflammation is a precursor for cancer and sugar is one of the biggest contributors of inflammation. Science has also proven that vegetables and fruits can reduce our risk factors for developing cancer. Drs. Dean Ornish, Terry Wahsl (I mistakenly said her last name

was Hahl) and Dr. Michael Greger have demonstrated the benefits of a plant-based diet.
