The two videos I reference are Solving a Colon Cancer Mystery and Bowel Wars: Hydrogen Sulfide (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/solving-a-colon-cancer-mystery/) vs. Butyrate (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bowel-wars-hydrogen-sulfide-vs-butyrate/).

In Stool pH and Colon Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/stool-ph-and-colon-cancer/) I explain how we should strive to have an acidic environment in our colon (but alkaline in our kidneys): How to Treat Kidney Stones with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-treat-kidney-stones-with-diet/) and Testing Your Diet with Pee & Purple Cabbage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-your-diet-with-pee-purple-cabbage/).

This helps explain why animal protein may increase cancer risk, but what about the animal fat? That’s the subject of my next video, How to Reduce Carcinogenic Bile Acid Production.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/putrefying-protein-and-toxifying-enzymes and he'll try to answer it!
