This has actually become one of the biggest conversations in the last five years is that we've had a lot more data emerge about the role of ultra-processed foods

in cancer, and then specifically in colorectal cancer and in these early onset cases which keep rising.

First of all, I think that's so bizarre.

I look every time.

How do you not look?
