Here are some statistics of where we sit as to the cases of cancer in the UK.
Men 280 cases per 100'000 people
women 260 cases per 100'000 people
Scientists estimate about 47% of bowel cancer cases in the UK could be prevented through eating more foods containing fibre, eating less red and processed meat, drinking less alcohol, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight.
