2. If you get cancer, it's usually because someone in your family had cancer.

Explanation

About half of men and a third of women in the U.S. will get the disease at some point. But only about 5%-10% of cases are linked to genes from parents.

The bottom line: Doctors aren't sure why some people get sick and others don't. Though your family history does play a role, it's not just about that.

3. Heavy drinking can raise your chances of getting cancer.

Explanation

Alcohol may make you more likely to get mouth, liver, colon, breast, and other cancers. It doesn't matter if you order beer, wine, or liquor when you belly up to the bar. It's how much you have that counts. The more you drink, the higher your risk.

If booze is already part of your life, stick to no more than two drinks a day if you're a man and one if you're a woman.

4. Which food is linked to colon cancer?

Explanation

People who eat a lot of processed meats, such as hot dogs and lunchmeat, are more likely to get colon cancer. The link isn't completely clear, but it might be because of nitrites. Those are chemicals added to food to stop bacteria and preserve color.

Red meat also is linked to colon cancer. In general, try to limit how much you eat. Instead, choose other kinds of protein, such as chicken, fish, or beans.

5. Artificial sweeteners can cause cancer.

Explanation

We don't have any evidence that the stuff in those little pink, blue, yellow, or green packets cause the disease in humans. Studies so far don't show a link between aspartame (blue), saccharin (pink), or sucralose (yellow) and cancer in people.

Newer sugar substitutes, such as sorbitol, agave, and stevia (green), also appear to be safe.

Submit
6. Which cancer is the worst?

Explanation

Lung cancer is considered the worst cancer because it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It has a high mortality rate due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. Lung cancer is often aggressive and spreads quickly to other parts of the body, making it difficult to treat effectively. Additionally, the symptoms of lung cancer may not be noticeable until the disease has already advanced, further reducing the chances of successful treatment.
