Thanks for adding it in! It makes me fume when smoking gets left off these kind of lists (no pun intended!)

Thanks for posting this list. Although sometimes cancer is unavoidable due to genetics, or other reasons, it is important that we try to take every precaution necessary to decrease the risk of getting cancer.

thanks a lot Kat for pointing that out, you are right. it was irresponsible of me too for not adding ’stop smoking’ to the list above sooner.

There is a major omission from this list. smoking is the single biggest preventable cause of cancer in the world. By quitting smoking you will do more to reduce your cancer risk than any amount of sunscreen, broccoli or brazil nuts could ever achieve. To write an article about cancer prevention and fail to include smoking is not just negligent, it’s irresponsible.
