In a shocking revelation, the American Cancer Society has found that 40% of cancer cases in the US can be linked to poor lifestyle choices and bad behavior. Smoking, in particular, is the main culprit, accounting for 20% of cancer cases and nearly 30% of cancer deaths.
According to the ACS, making simple changes like quitting smoking or losing weight could prevent a significant number of cancer cases and deaths in American adults. In fact, they estimate that 4 in 10 cancer cases and almost half of cancer deaths in adults 30 and older could have been avoided with healthier choices.
This eye-opening research serves as a stark reminder of the impact our behaviors can have on our health. It’s a wake-up call to prioritize our well-being and make positive changes for a healthier future.
