• One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime

• It is estimated that one-third of all cancers are caused by diet

• Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer in women, with 16,800 new cases being diagnosed each year

• Researchers predict that the rise in obesity and overweight will cause cancer rates to soar by 50 per cent worldwide by 2020

A report by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates that being overweight and inactive accounts for one-fifth to one-third of all breast, colon, endometrial, kidney and oesophageal cancers. Eating habits are also thought to influence risk of bowel, mouth, stomach and pancreatic cancer, and may also be a risk factor for prostate, lung, cervical and bladder cancer. The advice of Cancer Research UK is to eat a healthy and balanced diet including plenty of fruit and veg, high-fibre foods, starchy foods like potatoes and lower levels of fat and red or processed meat.
