Protein Powders Linked to Increased Bowel Cancer Risk | JQJO

Bowel cancer surgeon Dr. James Kinross warns against high protein powder consumption, citing its contribution to gut inflammation and increased bowel cancer risk. He advises limiting red meat to once a week and opting for plant-based proteins. Dr. Kinross emphasizes that bowel cancer is preventable through dietary changes, early screening (colonoscopy or fecal tests), and addressing the three main contributing factors: genetics, environment (including ultra-processed foods), and gut microbiome.
