American Cancer Society guidelines have long recommended a diet rich in plant foods with limited intake of processed and red meat. While short-term research studies have shown that switching to plant-based meat improves risk factors for heart disease, including cholesterol levels and body weight, research in this area is still in its early stages, particularly in relation to cancer.
We are honored to enter this agreement with the American Cancer Society, a leading authority on cancer research. One of our core goals at Beyond Meat is to positively impact human health – and we’re committed to taking action by supporting trusted, scientific, and evidence-based research on the benefits of shifting the protein at the center of the plate from animal-based meat to plant-based meat.
What is the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3)?
CPS-3 is researching a racially/ethnically diverse US cohort of 300,000+ participants who were cancer-free when they first enrolled to help identify risk factors for cancer outcomes. As part of this long-term study, participants are routinely surveyed every three years to collect updated lifestyle, behavioral, and medical information, including exercise and eating habits.
