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.
