The mission of the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) is twofold. The institute educates Americans about healthy eating through food and nutrition columns in newspapers and magazines, the Recipe Corner on its popular website (www.aicr.org), brochures and other informational materials, and seminars held across the country. AICR also funds basic research on the links between diet and cancer prevention.
