At the JFK library, President Biden announced plans to expand on the “cancer moonshot initiative”

On the 60th anniversary of Kennedy’s own “moonshot” speech, the Biden administration announced his own plan “to end cancer as we know it.”

This year, I laid out my goal to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50 percent over the next 25 years.

We’re going to better support patients and families. And we’re going to update our fight against cancer.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 12, 2022

The plan will aim to cut the cancer death rate by 50% in 25 years.

I believe we can end cancer as we know it and even cure cancers once and for all.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 12, 2022

Improve the speed of discovery and enhance treatments for those living with the disease, by using cutting-edge technology developed in America.

“”The goal is to cut cancer death rates by at least 50%, at least 50% in the next 25 years…To turn more cancers from death sentences into chronic diseases people can live with. And to create more supportive experiences for patients and families.”
“The national purpose will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills to end cancer as we know it. And even cure cancers once and for all.”
Joe Biden, U.S. PRESIDENT

The administration will also invest in cancer researchers focused solely on the link between toxic exposures and cancer.

60 years ago, President Kennedy said that America chose to go to the moon not because it was easy, but because it was hard. Because that challenge is one we were unwilling to postpone.

The disease hits home for Biden who lost his son, Beau, to brain cancer.

The President blames his son’s exposure to burn pits while deployed in Iraq.

“Today, I’m setting a long term goal for the cancer moonshot to rally America, an ingenuity that we can engage like we did to reach the moon that actually cures cancers — not all cancer — cancer — cures cancer once and for all. “
Joe BIDEN, U.s. PRESIDENT

Alcohol affects gut microbes, potentially leading to gut imbalance and heightened cravings.

Research suggests moderate drinkers have healthier gut microbiomes. While red wine consumption may enhance gut diversity, similar benefits can be found in plant-based and fermented foods. Dysbiosis may worsen addiction, highlighting the need for holistic approaches to treatment.
