The second link says:
"Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer."
> So you are wrong.
Please be more careful in making this statement. The evidence you present should allow the reader to make their own decision.

I guess that this statement compares combined cancer types with the combined cardiovascular diseases [1]. Then, yes, cancer is #2. But the cardiovascular diseases can't really be summarized by "heart disease" because they include stuff like stroke as well. So I wouldn't really say that OP is right.

PS: Also note that in a sibling comment I already stated that I got the death count of heart disease wrong.
- koonsolo 6y ago> So I wouldn't really say that OP is right. If you look at improving your health, I am right. Most people think you should prevent getting cancer (as I did before). But actually, you should put more emphasis on preventing hearth and artery disease, since it is the cause of more deaths! (I hope this last part is cleared out). Plus, it is also more clear on how to prevent that, than how to prevent cancer.
