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.
