Beyond Meat® and American Cancer Society to Advance Research on Plant-Based Meat and Cancer Prevention
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc., a leader in plant-based meat, and the American Cancer Society (ACS), today announced a multi-year agreement to advance research on plant-based meat and cancer prevention, as well as to help ACS continue to build the foundation of plant-based meat and diet data collection. The commitment aims to advance the understanding of how plant-based meats contribute to healthy diet patterns and their potential role in cancer prevention and is a crucial step towards long-term research in the plant-based protein field.
“American Cancer Society guidelines have long recommended a diet rich in plant foods with limited intake of processed and red meat,” said William L. Dahut, M.D., Chief Scientific Officer at the American Cancer Society. “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.”
Furthering Research in Cancer Prevention
The agreement will help enable a continuation of ACS’ ongoing data collection in its Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) and help build a downstream cancer research portfolio that is critical to understanding whether plant-based proteins, including plant-based meat, can play a role in cancer prevention. ACS’ Cancer Prevention Studies help researchers identify cancer risk factors among its pool of more than 300,000 participants.
“We are honored to enter this agreement with the American Cancer Society, a leading authority on cancer research,” said Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown. “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.”
Expanding Research on Plant-Based Meat
In 2020, the Stanford University School of Medicine announced the results of its SWAP-MEAT study. As published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat over an eight week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat.
“Beyond Meat and the American Cancer Society’s agreement is a critical step forward in conducting studies on cancer and plant-based meat in diets – a research area that has historically been lacking and builds upon the foundational research we’re doing as part of the Plant-Based Diet Initiative at the Stanford University School of Medicine,” said Christopher Gardner, PhD, Director of Nutrition Studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Center and the Rehnborg Farquhar Professor of Medicine at Stanford University.
The Link Between Red and Processed Meat and Cancer
Since 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified red meat as a carcinogen that increases the risk of colorectal cancer, and recent studies also suggest a possible role of red and/or processed meats in increasing the risk of breast cancer and certain forms of prostate cancer.
For years, the American Cancer Society investigators conducted foundational work identifying the link of red and processed meat to cancer. This work contributed evidence to the World Health Organization's determination of red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans and processed meat as carcinogenic to humans. ACS guidelines point to evidence of a significant link between high red and processed meat consumption and an increased risk of colorectal cancer as the primary reason for the recommendation to limit those products.
The American Cancer Society currently recommends limiting processed meats, red meats and choosing alternative protein sources. Research has also provided consistent and compelling evidence that healthy diet patterns incorporating more plant-based foods are linked with lower cancer risk and mortality. Outside of tobacco use, the most important cancer risk factors that can be changed are body weight, diet, and physical activity.
Beyond Meat is not involved and does not have input in the research or data collection of the American Cancer Society.

THESE WOKE CLOWNS ARE HEADING STRAIGHT INTO BANKRUPTCY!!!!!!!
Just dirty
WOW can anyone believe people were paying over 200.00 a share just 2 years ago?
Shocking !
Lol! So much for being vegan!
Yes, he did. And did he really punch through a car window with his FIST??
Agree. Did you see his mug shot? He still looked scary angry.
Alcohol likely and that causes a lot of trouble.
I suspect Ramsey won't be returning to work. This doesn't seem to me to be something anger management courses will resolve. And surely he was on a substance that packs a bigger wallop than Beyond Burger:
Ramsey allegedly punched through the back windshield of a Subaru after it made contact with the front tire of Ramsey’s car, according to a preliminary police report obtained by CNBC. The Subaru owner then got out of his car, and Ramsey allegedly started punching him and bit his nose, “ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose,” according to the report. The victim and a witness also alleged that Ramsey told the Subaru owner he would kill him.

Beyond Meat COO prefers human flesh to own product….

BYND Further info. The altercation happened at a college football game. It involved cars too close. It ended with Beyond Meat's COO Doug Ramsey biting a man's nose. No one nose if alcohol was involved, if one or both of the parties was beyond drunk. One thing we do nose is the Beyond Meat's COO bit off more than he could chew, as he was arrested and might lose his job.
BYND has gone from 200 to 17 in five years. It is one of Wall Streets biggest pump jobs in history and many who fell for the hype got burnt.
I knew it was a scam immediately. First of all, they were no pioneers- fake meat has been around for a long time. I supplied a well known one in my career. And most everyone has heard of a Boca Burger.
Well, what the COO did is beyond the pale and won't help this fake company as it races Bed Bath and Beyond to zero.

McDonalds Dumps Trial of Plant Meat Because Customers Would Not Purchase – Next up, Bug Meat
August 5, 2022 | Sundance | 280 Comments
McDonalds has announced they are dropping their program testing plant-based meats because people didn’t like it.
As noted by the Washington Times, “other trials at Panda Express and Yum! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut) have also ended without a subsequent product launch. Beyond Meat products at Dunkin’, Hardee’s, and A&W have been discontinued after launching.”
Apparently, American consumers do not want to eat fake meat; at least not fake meat made from plants.

Plant-based meat maker Beyond Meat Inc. eliminated about 40 positions as part of a broader cost-cutting plan, Chief Executive Officer Ethan Brown told employees in an internal memo.
“While difficult, this decision is one piece of our larger strategy to reduce operating expenses and support sustainable growth,” Brown said in the memo viewed by Bloomberg.
Workers from the operations team in multiple locations were affected, according to people familiar with the matter. The company, which reported having about 1,100 employees at the end of last year, is scheduled to report earnings on Thursday afternoon.
The stock slipped 0.2% in early trading at 7:19 a.m. in New York.
Once a Wall Street darling, Beyond Meat has struggled to turn partnerships with some of the world’s biggest restaurant companies, such as McDonald’s Corp. and Yum! Brands Inc., into profitable endeavors. And while the company is a pioneer in the development of plant-based products that imitate meat’s feel and taste, its efforts to ramp up production and create new products have been marred by setbacks. Competition has also intensified.
Even as the company announces new products, it is still figuring out the best ways to make them, sometimes at great expense. On its May earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Phil Hardin described the initial production process for its faux jerky, launched with PepsiCo Inc., as both “expensive and inefficient.”
Wall Street has turned pessimistic: The company’s shares have fallen almost 50% so far in 2022. They declined a similar amount in 2021.
David Trainer, chief executive officer of investment research firm New Constructs, flagged concerns about the company’s cash on hand in a recent research note and in a phone interview.
“Beyond Meat has failed to generate any positive free cash flow since going public in 2019,” Trainer wrote in a note dated Aug. 2. He said the $548 million in cash the company had at the end of the first quarter is only enough to sustain its current level of spending through 10 months after the period ended on April 2.
“Raising additional capital to fund further cash burn would likely come at a high cost and be bad news for existing and new shareholders,” Trainer wrote.
In an interview, Trainer said layoffs could help to preserve Beyond Meat’s cash, but “the proof is yet to be seen until we can see how much they can slow the burn.”

Cuz it’s down well over 50% over the TTM. Duh.
Hard to believe there hasn’t been a post on this board since April when the stock is up 50% in the past month
Hiding in plain sight
The daily chart looks like a P & D.
I am of the opinion that BYND is really not much of anything new and little to no moat.
He'll, I've been eating "Boca Burgers" for a dozen years.
And Lightlife Foods and other substitute meat companies have been around for years
A lot of hype, if you ask me.

Coincidence or "Timing is everything" by Koichi's tweet on January 2022?
Interesting tweet by Koichi on January 18th, 2022 "I want to sell this to Panda Express!"
https://twitter.com/ishizuka_koichi/status/1483441469239492608?cxt=HHwWgIDUsYOKn5YpAAAA
Panda Express - Beyond Orange Chicken (January 2022, coming to an end)
"In 2021, they began testing then ultimately rolled out The Beyond Orange Chicken to 70 locations across the United States for a limited time. The 70 location rollout began on October 27, 2021, and as of January 2022, it appears the limited time is coming to an end in a majority of the locations."
https://veggl.com/cheat-sheets/vegan-options-panda-express/
I believe Koichi is well aware of Beyond's end with Panda Express and the door is wide open for Fried Chicken (Karaage) by Dr. Foods/Mama-Foods, with two types of Fried Chicken and manufactory ready. Koichi has C-level Executive connections within the industry, we can see that from his past tweets. It is apparent that he is diligently working to make this happen, perhaps part of his DD with the acquisition and hopefully soon to be realized, by Panda Express.

right back under 50 - how frustrating!!!
That is very true. I wonder what is driving that run.
nice run of late!
Wow, the stock is now trading below $39/share - well below the intraday low of its first day of trading on the stock exchange! My idea in late December 2021 became proved correct.
WOW just sold some 40 puts for next friday at .75 ...
Looks like my target has been reached wonder if it will fall below 40?
Who likes grasshopper burgers? worm burgers are better.
50's I am looking for 40's however I have been banking selling weekly puts for months now.
My target for BYND is in the low 40's ....
Cheers mate ...
I always play both sides just watch it when it hits the 50s bounces up call options 1000%
could ? don't overlook shorting puts for steady weakly income !
WOW pretty amazing stuff going on here ! Selling Put premium at 55 for strong premium for the week.
I still see this falling to 40 before long...
Wow, this stock closed at only about $63/share today. Isn't that somewhat below where it closed on its very first of day of trading more than one year ago? To me, the strong falling trend in the 50-day and 200-day moving averages suggests further drops for BYND. Beyond Meat is facing a lot of strong competition these days in the vegan meat marketplace, making it hard for Beyond Meat to grow its sales.
BYND Short paying off so far
Snapshot:BYND
BEYOND MEAT INC
64.51Down -4.80 (-6.9254 %) AS OF 12:02:40PM ET 12/15/2021
BYND looks weak on the chart.
I shorted yesterday at 69.02
And added just now at 65.98
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BYND
The whole sector always looked dubious to me. BYND and OATLY. At minimum, I want my stocks to have moats.
sold some 50 puts for next friday Looking good. Still see more downside here.
this thing is headed to my Target of 40.00 will be some great option Put selling coming up here....
I think this thing is going to settle somewhere between 40-50 range.
Thinking of selling some 73 puts for next Friday the 26th !
Nebuch - Go LONG at $ 110 eh
Nebuch - Go LONG at $ 110 eh
$BYND has $1.14B of debt
BYND won't have any meat left on the bones at this rate of decline ?
BYND in the low 90's makes it much more attractive to sell some puts again.
