There are various types of cancers whom treatment are not yet discovered. Lot of research is going on about the causes of cancer. Researchers also suggest that people who avoid habits like smoking have less chance to effect from this deadly disease. They also suggest that many fruits can also prevent us from the cancer.

In a research, which was conducted by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), it was found that many people have wrong beliefs about the causes of cancers. This study was based on the interview conducted on 29,925 people in 29 countries over the past year.

In that research it was found that around 59 % people of high-income countries such as United States, Britain and Spain thought that eating not enough fruit can raise the risk of cancer where as around 51% people think about the alcohol intake in the same way. Around 42% people think that drinking alcohol does not increase the risk of causing cancer.

According to UICC, “The scientific evidence for the protective effect of fruit and vegetables is weaker than the evidence that alcohol intake is harmful”.

In the high income countries around 17% people think that “not much can be done” to treat the illness where as 48% people in low or medium income countries share the same thought.
