Lifestyle and diet as causal factors of cancer?


Doe's you know, that 80 percent of cancers
can be prevented if people were to adhere to
three simple rules:
1.

Stay out of the sun 2. Eat healthy food
including lots of fruit and vegetables 3.
Stop smoking
Skin cancer
White Australians and South Africans have
the highest incidence of skin cancer in the
world, but 90 percent of all skin cancers
are curable - if detected early.
Traditional diet
Black people living in rural areas (South
Africa) have a high incidence of oesophageal
cancer as a result of their traditional
diet, which contains very little
fibre.


Other factors contributing to this are
cooking methods, grain storage methods and a
high consumption of
home-brewed beer. The
incidence of these cancers becomes much
lower if people move to the cities where
fresh fruit and vegetables are more readily
available.
Smoking and drinking
Smoking and drinking also appear to play a
major factor in the incidence of cancer. It
is estimated 30 percent of all cancers are
smoking-related.

As more and more women have
become smokers in recent decades, so the
incidence of lung cancer has risen amongst
them. While breast cancer appears to be
oestrogen-related in some way, it has also
been noticed that a fair percentage of women
who develop breast cancer consume fair
amounts of alcohol.
Genetic factors
Genetic factors also play a role. It does
sometimes happen that healthy young people
who get exercise, eat healthily, stay out
of
the sun, don't smoke and don't drink, get
cancer.

To a certain degree, it remains a
mysterious disease, but one, if detected
early, can mostly be sorted out by means of
the right medical attention.
Diet the determining
factor?
Epidemiologists who have studied the
prevalence of cancer amongst the different
populations of the world have found that
diet determines 40 percent of all cancers.
The incidence of different types of cancer
in different regions points to diet being
instrumental in the causing of cancer.
Studies appear to disprove genetic
determinants, as cancer incidence amongst
immigrants to a new country quickly takes on
the characteristic incidence of those
already living there.


Eating the wrong type of food can increase
one's chances of getting cancer by 40
percent. You must know, that eating the
right kind of food containing
cancer-fighting molecules, such as fruit and
vegetables, can make a huge difference.
