So it might be disappointing to learn that yet another study has added grist to their mill.
Scientists at Loma Linda University in California found that vegans have a 24 per cent lower risk of developing cancer compared with meat eaters.
Dr Helen Crocker, the assistant director of research and policy at the World Cancer Research Fund International, says: “The study builds on what we already know. Red and processed meat are strongly linked to bowel cancer, while plant-based diets are rich in fibre and nutrients that help lower overall cancer risk. Vegetarians also tend to have a lower body weight, which is protective.”
But what if you’re not ready to ditch the bacon sandwiches?
“You can reduce your cancer risk without giving up meat,” Dr Crocker asserts.
From adding beans to stews, to being mindful of how you cook your vegetables, here are six ways you can cut your cancer risk without going vegetarian.
Read our advice here ➤ |  | Victoria Ward Deputy Royal Editor | It is rare to see Prince William overcome by emotion in public.
In fact, I am struggling to think of any other example.
But when he met Rhian Mannings, who in 2012 suddenly lost the youngest of her three children, one-year-old George, to a hidden illness and then her husband, Paul Burke, to suicide five days later, he only just about managed to hold it together.
Anyone who has watched the video of their conversation will understand why.
The Prince was reunited with Rhian, whom he first met in 2017, for a short film to mark World Mental Health Day.
They were promoting the launch of the National Suicide Prevention Network, an ambitious project by the Royal Foundation that aims to transform suicide prevention in the UK.
Over tea and Welsh cakes, Rhian and her royal guest tackled the subject head-on.
But it was when the Prince asked what she would say to Paul, if she could, that his tears welled up.
“There’s only ever one thing I would ever say to him if I had time with him, and that would be, ‘why didn’t you speak to me?’” Rhian replied. “I ask myself that every single day.
“He’s missed out on so much joy and we would have been OK. I think that’s what the hardest thing is, we would have been OK.”
It is a difficult topic, but one we will likely see the Prince engage with on many future occasions.

A highly unlikely outcome, given how it is judged. As Martin Fletcher reports, behind the scenes five Norwegians have been sequestered in a carpeted Oslo salon, considering over 338 nominees, in a process that is contentious, riven by “vigorous disagreement” and rarely glimpsed, until now.

That is the puzzle for Rachel Morgans, the head of fashion at John Lewis, to solve. The previous much-vaunted attempt with the avant-garde label A.w.a.k.e Mode may have been too challenging for the department store’s audience. However, a new collaboration with South Korean fashion designer Rejina Pyo seems to have found the sweet spot. Our fashion editors road-tested the collection.

On Netflix now ★★☆☆☆ What do you give the couple that has everything? In the case of Netflix and the Beckhams, it’s a set of his ’n’ hers documentaries. David went first, in a 2023 series revisiting his football days and showcasing his happy family life. Now Victoria has her own three-parter, and the focus is on her fashion business. She comes across as likeable, self-deprecating, hard-working and funny. Which is why it’s such a shame that the end product is so boring. Read Anita Singh’s review here.
Exhibition Wayne Thiebaud: American Still Life
Courtauld Gallery ★★★★★ Peppermint sticks and candied apples, dainty cakes and pumpkin pie: these are the subjects of Wayne Thiebaud’s luscious yet unsettling still lifes of the 1960s, the focus of a mouthwatering new exhibition of 21 paintings (plus a handful of works on paper) at the Courtauld Gallery in London. The first museum show of this American’s work in Britain, it includes depictions of savoury snacks – squidgy-looking hot dogs; and sausages and cheese on deli counters – that are both irresistible and brilliantly peculiar.

Orlando writes...
Ladybirds, traditionally harbingers of good fortune, are having a moment in the spotlight. This week, social media – and the Letters inbox – have been swarming with reports of an apparent invasion. “I counted ten on the sheets as I brought them in from the washing line,” wrote Ellen Ross. “I have never seen so many at once.”
Alexandra Elletson concurred: “We have been infested with them this year, forming clusters in every corner of the house.”
As someone who could happily spend a summer’s afternoon watching a ladybird make its determined way across the picnic blanket, I feel that this is the opposite of a problem. However, others may beg to differ.
“We used to fear the occasional autumn invasion of swarms of ladybirds,” recalled Jacky Staff. “Amazingly, they managed to squeeze through the aluminium double glazing seals and decorated our lounge ceiling. They sometimes dropped suddenly onto furniture.” It is also not the first time this year that ladybirds have caused notable disruption. On the first day of England’s third Test against India at Lord’s in the summer, a loveliness (the rather charming collective noun) briefly descended on Ben Stokes and Joe Root and brought play to a halt.
According to the experts at the Royal Horticultural Society, the unusually large numbers can be attributed to the warm spring, followed by the warmest and sunniest summer on record. As a consequence, aphids – the ladybird’s preferred delicacy – have had a particularly good year. The fact that sightings have increased as we enter the cooler months is hardly surprising. Peter Rosie explained: “They are swarming together ahead of their diapause – the insect equivalent of hibernation – and seeking warm places to bed down for the winter.”
Fortunately, the bad-tempered ladybird only exists in children’s fiction. Leave them alone, and they will be no trouble to you or your household surfaces. Soon enough they will be gone, and then we will miss them as much as the mild October evenings. Though maybe don’t be too quick to copy the example of Elizabeth Harrington, who found that “my litter of Labrador puppies thought this was a feast laid on just for them”.
