Upcoming AICR Webinar:
Eating Patterns to Lower Cancer Risk: More than One Route to a Plant-Based Diet

October 29, 2013

Presented by Karen Collins, MS, RDN, CDN and Sharon Palmer, RD

Program Description

A predominantly plant-based diet is one of the key elements in recommendations to reduce cancer risk. Multiple ways to achieve this have been identified. In this webinar, we will explore several different patterns: the research behind them and ways that they can be used or adapted to make it easier for people to find a diet to lower cancer risk that works for them as a long-term healthy lifestyle.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to:

1. Identify, compare and contrast several different predominantly plant-based eating patterns.
2. Explain current research findings regarding each of these patterns and the potential to reduce cancer risk.
3. Describe practical steps for making various cancer-protective eating patterns practical and enjoyable.
4. Translate lessons learned from different eating patterns to steps that can be applied to any eating pattern to enhance its healthfulness and flavor.
