Connections: Second Opinion LIVE! - Thanksgiving and All Things Food

With the Thanksgiving holiday around the corner, we get the skinny on all things food.

Our panel discusses how to avoid overindulging and gaining weight. We also address commonly held beliefs about food and determine if they are fact or fiction:

  • Does turkey really make you tired?
  • Is organic food better than conventionally grown food?
  • Is processed meat a cause of colorectal cancer?
  • Are eggs bad for you?
  • Does eating before bed make you gain weight?
  • Is red wine good for you?

Our guests:

  • Stephen Cook, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor of pediatrics, University of Rochester Medical Center
  • Lou Papa, M.D., professor of clinical medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center
