What is the treatment of drinking water from a plastic bottle? Or the heat on the micro-wave oven? In a new study, many people believe that there are many misconceptions about cancer that many people are sitting on.
The results of this study run in England have already been published in the 'European Journal of Cancer'.
However, 1330 people in England who have participated in this study correctly identified smoking as the cause of cancer.
Smoking, obesity and UltraViolet rays are the most resistant to the cancer that can be caused by harmful effects.
The UK's Cancer Research Institute reports that at least four incidents of infection can be prevented with lifestyles or living conditions in every ten cancer cases. However, it is important to know the correct information about the causes of cancer.
Researchers at University of London, the University of Leeds and the University of Leeds, conducted a survey for this study.
Researchers say that at least 40 percent of people participating in the survey mistakenly consider 'stress' or mental stress and eating habits as a cause for cancer.
At least one third of the participants in the survey believe that they are susceptible to cancer by playing electromagnetic frequency (35%) and genetically modified (GM) food (34%).
Moreover, even after not having enough scientific information, at least 19 percent think that microwave ovens can play cancer by heating and drinking water from a plastic bottle.
Of the people who took part in the survey, 88% of the people smoking and 80 percent of the people smoking indirectly and 60 percent of the people said 'Sunburn' or sunburn is the cause of cancer.
Researchers say that it is not that those who had wrong thoughts about the cause of cancer were living very risky.
Rather, the researchers say that those who know many correct information about the cause of cancer are more aware and they stay away from smoking.
Besides, conscious people also eat vegetables and fruits, they are also mentioned, researchers said.
University of Leeds Dr. Samuel Smith said, "It is a matter of concern that many people regard different subjects as a cause for cancer even after there is no scientific evidence."
Mr. Smith also said that in the beginning of the century, the amount of untrue and unpopular issues that people considered as a cause for cancer, more people think it is more than that now.
And behind this, it is a big reason to know about the Internet and social networking information. Smith
Therefore, he has urged people to increase public education to help people manage their lives by providing accurate information about the cause of cancer.
And Kaya Hayd of the UK's Cancer Research Institute says there is no scope for guarantee against cancer. But it is possible to reduce the risk of cancer if you know the correct information without having to spend time on incorrect information about the biggest causes of cancer.
