CONCLUSIONS
3INTRODUCTION
- 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.
4Truth 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.
5Is 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.
6Can 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
7Is 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.
8Does 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.
9CONCLUSIONS
- 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.
