Hello, everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. And today's episode is on prostate cancer and some of the community implications, public health implications, and messaging. And we'll get all into that in a second. We've got a great crew, as always, that keeps us, keeps both Clarence and I hopping with good information. Maddie Levine-Wolfe,
Aaron Collins, Deandra Howard do our background research for us. Sheridan Nygaard also does research for us, but also our marketing. And then of course, there's Matthew Campbell, who's probably busy right now getting one of our shows out to you, the listening audience. So thanks to all of them. They're a great crew and we appreciate all their hard work. My partner in crime,
As always is Clarence Jones. And we're having a good time doing these shows, chatting about a lot of different issues around health and healthcare. And hopefully it's useful for you, the listening audience. Our sponsor for these shows is Human Partnership, a good community health organization that provides a lot of programs out in the community for all of us.

With that, I'm going to turn it over to Clarence, and he can introduce our great guest for today.
Thank you, Stan. And I am honored to introduce, to sound present to others, Dr. Robert Teresky, who is a professor in the Department of Medical Chemistry at the University of Minnesota. He served as the director of the Masonic Cancer Center Analytical Biochemistry Department. He's also received his PhD in nutrition and food science at MIT. He has worked around the world.
But even more importantly, he has done a project with me. in terms of the topic that we're gonna talk about tonight, which is around prostate cancer. And I want to just tell our listeners, thank you for listening to us. And one of the things about Health Chatter, and I always like to frame this like this, is that we enter into a lot of different kinds of conversations.
So today it's gonna be a grown folks conversation, which is kind of a cultural thing. So we're gonna be talking about some really interesting things. We're gonna talk about some racial differences And we're going to talk about some perceptions when it comes to this issue around prostate cancer.
One of the things that I will share with you is that out of all of the diseases that I struggle with, talking about, probably the number one disease is one or two is going to be around prostate cancer. And one of the reasons for that is that it has been such a kind of a taboo subject within my own community. It's been a kind of a taboo subject in terms of men.
And we're going to get into that when it comes to this topic today. Dr. Robert and I have recently done a study around prostate cancer and African-American men. And what was so intriguing to me about our conversation was the fact that he talked about two things that really impact me. One was food. One was prostate cancer. But this topic was barbecue and prostate cancer.
