I can't be the only one who sees the irony in this article? Every single mention of the word "cancer" is hyperlinked for SEO purposes... which by definition is cancer in of itself. This sentence in the article is "tip top", > On a personal level, there are many things you can do to reduce your risk of developing cancer. Following a healthy lifestyle remains important. This includes eating a healthy diet, stopping smoking, exercising regularly, reducing your alcohol intake, being safe in the sun and maintaining a healthy weight. If something doesn’t feel right with your body or you experience any new symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.

A lot of the risk factors in the article seem pretty straightforward - with high fasting glucose being a big one, which basically means diet and exercise. Not a massive surprise that this rise basically seems to correspond to the amount of sugar added to everything having risen so much over that time, as well as the amounts of highly processed carbs (I'm not keto or anything but definitely try to eat whole grains instead of refined grains as much as possible and things like that). Obviously drinking less alcohol and stopping smoking are the two biggest reductions for the largest rest risk factors for many types of cancer as the article points out. But one thing I found surprising is that they actually call out a 'diet low in milk' as a significant risk factor. I'm actually pretty on board with that, especially eating yoghurt, but there seems to be such a huge trend in going for alternative plant-based milks and just a big assumption that milk must be totally unhealthy... So I just found that very interesting.
