Summary
ONLY 3% of people know that maintaining a healthy weight cuts their risk of cancer, according to a new poll. The survey of 3,947 people, for Cancer Research UK, also found that just 11% listed sunscreen or staying out of the sun as things people could do to cut their risk of the disease. Some 66% said people could stop smoking to reduce their risk, while 59% knew that changes to food and diet could help.
Almost one in three listed exercise, 22% listed cutting back on alcohol, and 3% said a healthy body weight could help cut the risks. After smoking, being overweight or obese is one of the biggest risks in developing cancer. Overall, 7% of those questioned failed to name a single positive thing people could do to help to prevent the disease.See the full content of this document
