Britons blame cancer risk on 'fate'

Britons blame cancer risk on 'fate'

Extract from report:

"As stopping smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating fruit and vegetables and avoiding sunburn have all been proven to reduce cancer risk, Dr Lesley Walker, director of information at Cancer Research UK, said that education is a key issue in lowering cancer cases in Britain.

"It is alarming that such a large percentage of the British population do not realise that half of all cases of cancer can be prevented by lifestyle changes," Dr Walker commented. "We can give people information about how to do this but it is seriously worrying that so many people think cancer is down to fate." "

"...most cancers have obesity as the biggest contributory factor..."

"Studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of cancer of the breast, bowel, womb, kidney and oesophagus. A major study (2003) by the American Cancer Society also associates obesity with stomach cancer and prostate cancer in men, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and cancers of the cervix, ovary, prostate, liver, and pancreas.)"

As my website http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/ explains, obesity is caused by salt sensitivity and fluid retention, not by over-eating, and is most safely and reliably reduced by forgetting about calories and dieting, and instead cutting down on salt and eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. - It would be great, therefore, if Cancer Research UK and other Cancer charities would give the best advice to people, i.e. that the best way to reduce your risk of developing cancer is SPECIFICALLY TO EAT LESS SALT.
