Many Do Not Know About the Cancer-Obesity Link
A poll of over 2000 adults in the United Kingdom carried out for the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) found that almost 50% of people are unaware that being overweight or obese can cause cancer.
Researchers estimate that excess weight causes around 4% of all cancers. Being overweight or obese has been linked to cancer of the esophagus, bowel, pancreas, womb lining, kidney, and breast in post-menopausal women.
The poll found that 48% of people were unaware of the link between excess body fat and cancer risk. The survey also found that only 38% of people knew that drinking alcohol and not taking exercise increased their risk of the disease. A total of 43% were unaware that having a poor diet is linked to cancer.
Although the link between processed meat and cancer has been well publicized, only 30% of people said they were aware it increased their risk of cancer. The WCRF recommends people avoid eating processed meats due to convincing evidence that it is a cause of bowel cancer.
The results of the poll indicate that the link between diet and cancer needs to be much more publicized for the public to make informed decisions about their health.
