Nanny Bans Bacon and Booze

Nanny's chums from The World Cancer Research Fund (WRCF) have conducted a study into cancer and have determined that, if we follow a strict no booze no bacon diet, then we can live to a ripe old age and feel thoroughly miserable.

For good measure WRCF say that all sugary drinks should also be shunned, people should “stick to water” as part of efforts to cut their risk by up to 40%.

They have issued a 10 point plan (diktat) that Nanny will doubtless try to enforce.

Cutting cancer risks | 10 recommendations

1. Be a healthy weight. Keep your weight within the healthy range and avoid weight gain in adult life
2. Be physically active. Be physically active as part of everyday life – walk more and sit less
3. Eat a diet rich in wholegrains, vegetables, fruit and beans. Make wholegrains, vegetables, fruit, and pulses (legumes) such as beans and lentils a major part of your usual daily diet
4. Limit consumption of ‘fast foods’ and other processed foods high in fat, starches or sugars. Limiting these foods helps control calorie intake and maintain a healthy weight
5. Limit consumption of red and processed meat. Eat no more than moderate amounts of red meat, such as beef, pork and lamb. Eat little, if any, processed meat
6. Limit consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks. Drink mostly water and unsweetened drinks
7. Limit alcohol consumption. For cancer prevention, it’s best not to drink alcohol
8. Do not use supplements for cancer prevention. Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone
9. For mothers: breastfeed your baby, if you can. Breastfeeding is good for both mother and baby
10. After a cancer diagnosis: follow our recommendations, if you can. Check with your health professional what is right for you.

I for one will do exactly what I have always done when it conmes to Nanny's advice, ignore it.

The more strident and restrictive her advice, the less likely people are going to follow it!

There is absolutely no point living to a ripe old age, if you are going to have to live a life of misery to get to that old age.
