What is the treatment of drinking water from a plastic bottle? Or the heat on the micro-wave oven? A new study says that people believe many such misconceptions about the cancer, or whether they are wrong.
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, which are the most resistant to cancer, are also considered to be the most resistant.
UK Cancer Research Institute reports that at least four incidents of cancer 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 College London and University of Leeds of the United States said that at least 40 percent of people who participated in the survey mistakenly thought of 'stress' or 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%).
Apart from not having enough scientific information, at least 19 percent think that drinking microwave ovens can play cancer and drinking water from plastic bottles can be cancerous.
Of the people who took part in the survey, 88 percent of the people smoking and 80 percent of people smoking indirectly and 60 percent of 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 scientific evidence is not available.
Smith also said that more people think that the number of untrue and unprotected subjects at the beginning of this century was the cause of cancer.
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 control the right way through proper information about the cause of cancer.
And Kaya Hayd of the UK's Cancer Research Institute said 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 spending time behind incorrect information about the biggest causes of cancer.
