On the face of it, this is a rather daunting statistic, however, the good news is that studies also show that around 90–95% of all cancers have there roots in environmental and lifestyle factors (2), with the important factors that affect the incidence and mortality of cancer including tobacco, alcohol, diet, obesity, infectious agents, environmental pollutants, and radiation. Consequently, by making positive changes to your diet, lifestyle and general environment you have enormous power and potential to significantly reduce your risk of cancer ever occurring in the first place.
