  4. Truth about cancer Actually, If no one in my family has had cancer, I am risk free. Life style 90 to 95 percent of cancers are caused by genetic mutations that might occur throughout a person’s lifetime. They may occur in you as well irrespective of whether they occurred in your parents in your family. Cancer is caused by various factors such environmental influence. Your risk of developing cancer depends on your exposure to the harmful effects of thesefactors. as diet, lifestyle and No,you’renot.

  5. Is Cancer contagious ? Cancer itself is not contagious. However, some cancers are caused by bacteria and viruses, which can spread from person to person. Certain type of the human pappilomavirus(HPV) are known to cause cervical, anal and some types of neck and head cancers. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses can increase the risk of liver cancer, while bacteria like H. Pylori can develop stomach cancer in a person infected by it. The distinction is that while these viruses and bacteria can cause cancers after spreading from person to person, the cancer itself cannot be spread likewise.

  6. Can Some food cause cancer? Your food has no relation to cancer. Countless studies have shown that foods high in refined sugar, unhealthy fats and refined sodium can influence genetic mutation that leads to cancer. Cancer cells consume more glucose and use it for fuel than any other cell in the human body. On the other hand, eating organic foods with balanced vitamins and nutrients increases your chances of preventing cancer and beating the ‘killer disease’ in case you still develop it due to other factors. Your food has no relation to cancer. Your diet cannot prevent it, cause it or help in treatment

  7. Is Obesity linked to cancer? Obesity is not linked to cancer. For countries like the USA, where two-thirds of the population is obese, this can be a very dangerous misconception. Experts are unanimous in linking hundreds of cancer cases to excess weight. Like sugar, fat cells secrete a compound called ‘estradiol’, which the cancer cells thrive on. Obesity is not linked to cancer.

  8. Does Cancer needs sugar to growth and spread? Cancer needs sugar to grow and spread! No, All cells in the body, whether healthy or cancerous, depend on sugar to develop and function. But eating sugar has not been shown to speed up the growth of cancer, just as a sugar-free diet does not slow its expansion. No studies have conclusively demonstrated that eating sugar makes the cancer grow and spread rapidly.

  9. However, it should be kept in mind that consuming too many sugar calories does lead to excess weight, obesity and diabetes, all of which increase the risk of developing cancer and other health problems. CONCLUSIONS Thus, the snapshot of this presentation is that to lower your chances of getting cancer eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and have regular cancer screenings.
