The globe is facing a "tidal wave" of cancer, and restrictions on alcohol and sugar need to be considered, say World Health Organization scientists.

It predicts the number of cancer cases will reach 24 million a year by 2035, but half could be prevented.

The WHO said there was now a "real need" to focus on cancer prevention by tackling smoking, obesity and drinking.

The World Cancer Research Fund said there was an "alarming" level of naivety about diet's role in cancer.

Fourteen million people a year are diagnosed with cancer, but that is predicted to increase to 19 million by 2025, 22 million by 2030 and 24 million by 2035.

The developing world will bear the brunt of the extra cases.

The WHO's World Cancer Report 2014 said the major sources of preventable cancer included:

  • Smoking
  • Infections
  • Alcohol
  • Obesity and inactivity
  • Radiation, both from the sun and medical scans
  • Air pollution and other environmental factors
  • Delayed parenthood, having fewer children and not breastfeeding

Wow @Delayed parenthood, having fewer children and not breastfeeding. Being a cancerogenic I wonder why that is?

I fully excepted cell phone use to be on that list.
Yea that shyt scary if you a female.

But I don't drink (often), don't smoke, am in shape, and a negro so most of the things on that list don't apply :obama:

Maybe the causes of delayed parent hood, fewer children, and not breastfeeding is what is causing the cancer.

For example: Having fewer children could be caused by the rise in cesarean births. Cesarean births limits the amount of children a woman can have...maybe the drugs that are used in this process is having an adverse affect on the new born.

Not breastfeed could cause cancer if the chemicals in the child formula is bad for a baby to ingest. You see how they say that the pink slime used to make fast food burgers is treated with ammonia which is cancer causing. Who knows whats in the similac and shiit.

Im not sure what is the cause of delayed parent hood but who knows...what ever is causing that could be an issue too.
