(5 mins) Transcript. A fast-paced and information rich video for which it would be helpful to watch Nitrates & Nitrites Playlist (2012) first. An excerpt from the video:

(6 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "What do clinical studies show about the role of heme in the formation of a class of carcinogenic compounds?"

(5 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Is heme just an innocent bystander in the link between meat intake and breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure?"

(7 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Those on a healthy plant-based diet with elevated homocysteine levels despite taking sufficient vitamin B12 may want to consider taking a gram a day of contaminant-free creatine."

(5 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Billion-dollar drugs pulled from the market for carcinogenic contamination less than that found in a single serving of grilled chicken."

(5 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Laboratory models suggest that extreme doses of heme iron may be detrimental, but what about the effects of nutritional doses in humans? A look at heme's carcinogenic effects."

(7 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Rectal biopsies taken before and after eating meat determine the potentially DNA-damaging dose of heme."

(2 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "The nitrite preservatives in processed meats such as bologna, bacon, ham, and hot dogs form carcinogenic nitrosamines, but also reduce the growth of botulism bacteria — forcing regulators to strike a balance between consumers risking cancer, or a deadly form of food poisoning."

(2 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Nitrites in processed meat form nitrosamines, a class of potent carcinogens found in cigarette smoke, which may explain why hot dog consumption has been associated with the two leading pediatric cancers, brain tumors and childhood leukemia."

(2 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "The levels of nitrosamines — considered the most carcinogenic agents in cigarette smoke — were recently measured in an array of processed meats including chicken, turkey, and pork."

(2 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Frying bacon outdoors decreases the concentration of airborne nitrosamine carcinogens."

(4 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "What was the meat industry's response to the recommendation by leading cancer charities to stop eating processed meats, such as bacon, ham, hot dogs, sausage, and lunchmeat?"

(6 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "The reason egg consumption is associated with elevated cancer risk may be the TMAO, considered the 'smoking gun' of microbiome-disease interactions."
