INTRODUCTION

• Cancer is a dreaded disease and like anything
  that causes fear without knowledge, the disease
  provides a fertile ground for myths and rumours.
  There are many popular misconceptions about how
  the disease starts and spreads, but have no
  scientific basis. They might make sense because
  those ideas are rooted in traditional theories.

Truth about cancer
If no one in my family has had cancer, I am risk
free.
Actually,
Life style

• 90 to 95 percent of cancers are caused by genetic
  mutations that might occur throughout a persons
  lifetime. They may occur in you as well
  irrespective of whether they occurred in your
  parents in your family.

• Cancer is caused by various factors such as diet,
  lifestyle and environmental influence. Your risk
  of developing cancer depends on your exposure to
  the harmful effects of these factors.

• No, youre not.

Is Cancer contagious ?

• Cancer itself is not contagious.
• However, some cancers are caused by bacteria and
  viruses, which can spread from person to person.
  Certain type of the human pappilomavirus (HPV)
  are known to cause cervical, anal and some types
  of neck and head cancers. Hepatitis B and
  Hepatitis C viruses can increase the risk of
  liver cancer, while bacteria like H. Pylori can
  develop stomach cancer in a person infected by it.

The distinction is that while these viruses and
bacteria can cause cancers after spreading from
person to person, the cancer itself cannot be
spread likewise.

Can Some food cause cancer?

• Your food has no relation to cancer.
• Countless studies have shown that foods high in
  refined sugar, unhealthy fats and refined sodium
  can influence genetic mutation that leads to
  cancer. Cancer cells consume more glucose and use
  it for fuel than any other cell in the human
  body. On the other hand, eating organic foods
  with balanced vitamins and nutrients increases
  your chances of preventing cancer and beating the
  killer disease in case you still develop it due
  to other factors.

Your food has no relation to cancer. Your diet
cannot prevent it, cause it or help in treatment
7
Is Obesity linked to cancer?

• Obesity is not linked to cancer.
• For countries like the USA, where two-thirds of
  the population is obese, this can be a very
  dangerous misconception. Experts are unanimous in
  linking hundreds of cancer cases to excess
  weight. Like sugar, fat cells secrete a compound
  called estradiol, which the cancer cells thrive
  on.

Obesity is not linked to cancer.
8
Does Cancer needs sugar to growth and spread?

• Cancer needs sugar to grow and spread!
• No, All cells in the body, whether healthy or
  cancerous, depend on sugar to develop and
  function. But eating sugar has not been shown to
  speed up the growth of cancer, just as a
  sugar-free diet does not slow its expansion.

No studies have conclusively demonstrated that
eating sugar makes the cancer grow and spread
rapidly.

CONCLUSIONS

• However, it should be kept in mind that consuming
  too many sugar calories does lead to excess
  weight, obesity and diabetes, all of which
  increase the risk of developing cancer and other
  health problems.
• Thus, the snapshot of this presentation is that
  to lower your chances of getting cancer eat a
  healthy diet, exercise regularly and have regular
  cancer screenings. Consult your doctor
  immediately if you notice any unusual signs or
  symptoms.
