Drink red wine, not beer, drink coffee, don't drink wine and coffee, just one or the other, then do the opposite next week.
Maybe the best advise is to ignore the advise Du jure all together.

Researchers studying vitamin-E supplements as a way to reduce men's risk of prostate cancer found they actually had the opposite effect, increasing the risk slightly, according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health.
"We need a much better handle on what's going on biologically before we start initiating large randomized controlled trials," said Lori Minasian, a co-author of the study and acting director of the National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Prevention.

The report, the latest in a string of disappointing findings involving dietary supplements, points to the need for caution in pursuing further supplement research, the investigators said.The findings, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, are based on long-term follow-up of participants in a large cancer-prevention trial known as Select. That trial, meant to study whether supplements of vitamin E, selenium or a combination of the two nutrients could prevent prostate cancer, was stopped three years ago because a review of the data showed no benefit compared with a dummy pill.An increase in cancer was originally noted in the vitamin E-only group, but the results weren't statistically significant. The follow-up, however, which tracked the health of about half the trial's original 35,000-plus participants, found a 17% increase in prostate cancer compared with men who took a placebo. For every 1,000 men, 76 who took vitamin-E supplements got prostate cancer, compared with 65 men who took placebo. A link originally seen between selenium and type-2 diabetes disappeared as more data became available.
