21.11.07: Scientists Found Out Ways To Avoid Cancer

The World Fund of Cancer Investigations has recently carried out the most serious investigation of connection between way of life and cancer. The researchers analyzed 7 000 investigations in this subject, which were carried during the past 5 years and came to the conclusion that even those who do not suffer from over weight should try to lose weight in order to reduce the risk of cancer.

The scientists state that adults should not put on weight, should avoid alcohol and cacao-containing drinks, bacon and ham. However, insufficient weight is also bad. The “healthy” weight index is 18,5 - 25. The scientists stress that these are only recommendations, and not orders.

"If people want to reduce the risk of cancer, these are recommendations to follow, " - Professor Martin Wayman from the World Fund said. “Cancer is not a verdict, it is a question of risk, and your behavior can influence ths risk. It is important to realize that a lot depends on ourselves”.

Rectum and breast cancer are the most frequent types of the disease.
