What questions do you have about health and nutrition?

On this edition of Your Call, we continue our series on cancer and chronic disease by discussing the power of plant-based diets to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases with Dr. Neal Barnard, president and founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Research shows that a plant-based diet is the best way to prevent chronic disease and improve overall health, yet cancer and chronic disease rates continue to rise. What questions do you have about health and nutrition?
