What lifestyle choices increase my risk of cancer?

Most cancers arise from or are promoted by our lifestyle choices, such as what we eat or don't eat. Of course, smoking cigarettes is a well-known culprit. The shocking fact is that almost one-third of all cancers diagnosed in Europe and the United States can be linked to tobacco use and account for more than 150,000 deaths in the United States each year.

But less commonly known is that food choices are thought to contribute to another third of cancers, especially stomach and colon cancers. People who eat diets that are low in saturated and trans fats and rich in nutrients and fresh fruit like tomatoes and in healthy fat like nuts have a significantly lower incidence of cancer. Also, thinner people are at lower risk of breast, prostate, and uterine cancer, perhaps because such cancers are linked -- at least some scientists believe -- to high exposure to the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone, and these hormones are stored in fat.

Heavy alcohol consumption is another lifestyle choice that can have an effect. People who drink excessively have higher levels of mouth, breast, and liver cancers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
