The American Cancer Society estimates that over 1.7 million new cancer cases will have been diagnosed in 2019, and that it will kill over 600,000 Americans this year.
Many of us have been touched by this terrifying disease, either through a personal diagnosis or through the loss of a loved one. But, despite cancer being so common, there is still a lot of misinformation about its causes and how it can be prevented. There is a common perception that cancer strikes randomly, out of the blue, but the reality is that simple lifestyle changes can prevent a large percentage of cancer diagnoses.
