A new report finds focusing more on a plant-based diet could be key to cutting your risk of cancer. Americans are being advised to avoid dairy, reduce alcohol consumption, lay off red meat and double their intake of fruits and vegetables. The San Diego Union-Tribune says researchers used a concept called the precautionary principle which holds that actions shouldn’t be undertaken if their consequences aren’t fully understood. In this case, it’s not certain that particular foods cause cancer, but the evidence that they might leads scientists to recommend avoiding them.
