Global Report: One-Third of U.S. Cancers are Preventable
A landmark global report revealed some amazing
findings: 45 percent of colon cancer and 38 percent
of breast cancer in the U.S. are preventable through
diet, physical activity and weight maintenance.
Overall, one-third of the most common cancers in
the U.S. could be prevented. The report examined
how policy change can affect cancer risk. The bot-
tom line? Everyone needs to make health a higher
priority. Policy recommendations include:
- Governments should require walking/cycling
routes to promote activity.
- The food and drink industry should make
public health a priority.
- Schools should encourage physical activity
and provide healthy food.
- Health professionals should take the lead
in public health information.
- People should use government nutrition labeling information on food packages to make healthier choices.
