Description

One of the most popular foods in the world is causing cancer. The average American eats almost 60 pounds of it every year.

Red meat.

Whether it's a hamburger or steak, red meat is strongly linked to cancer. The World Health Organization classifies it as a class 2a carcinogen, putting it in the same category as scores of hazardous chemicals and other agents.

Experts believe that red meat is behind a surge of colon cancer cases among younger adults. We examine the report and explore what it could mean for your cancer risk as Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live.
