New cancer prevention guidelines say to skip booze and this food - AJC

The American Cancer Society published updated guidelines Tuesday


Skipping a beer and red meat may be a good choice as you resume dining in your favorite restaurant. That’s according to updated cancer prevention guidelines released by the American Cancer Society on Tuesday.

The updates, which appear in the American Cancer Society’s peer-reviewed journal, CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, call for reduced consumption of alcohol and red meat, and increased exercise.

The ACS’ guidelines are based on contemporary science that shows it’s not specific foods and nutrients but how you eat that is important in increasing general health and reducing the risk of cancer.
