DESCRIPTION: Because certain cancers such as breast tumors thrive in settings of low-grade inflammation, our immune response can sometimes facilitate tumor growth. This is the first of a seven video series that dives into the nuts and bolts of the human immune system to bring you Neu5Gc, one of the most fascinating topics in modern day nutrition—stay tuned! I've done similar series on reversing cancer cell growth (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/developing-an-ex-vivo-cancer-proliferation-bioassay/), why animal products cause inflammation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-leaky-gut-theory-of-why-animal-products-cause-inflammation/), changing vitamin D recommendations (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vitamin-d-recommendations-changed/), arugula athleticism (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/), why nuts don't appear to cause expected weight gain (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-and-obesity-the-weight-of-evidence/), and the latest dietary guidelines (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-corporate-guidance/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-as-an-autoimmune-disease/ and he'll try to answer it!
