A new poll conducted by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has shown that few Britons were aware of the link between cancer and certain lifestyle choices such as excessive alcohol consumption.

A total of 46 per cent of those polled did not understand that there was a link between unhealthy foods and drink and certain forms of cancer.

A separate study by Cancer Research UK recently found that alcohol, obesity, smoking, and overexposure to the sun are known to be lifestyle options that can increase the risk of cancer.

Around 160,000 people die from cancer in the UK each year, and research has shown that many of these could have been prevented by simple lifestyle changes.

Scotland showed that it was most aware of what caused it, whereas those in the north of England showed the highest level of ignorance towards its affecting factors.

Dr Greg Martin, the science and research manager for WCRF said: "It really is a shame that so many people are not aware enough about how they can reduce their cancer risk. The fact that diet, weight and physical activity are closely linked to cancer has been well-known in the science community for many years."
