Combined Healthy Waist and Exercise Key to Minimizing Cancer Risk
A study of 315,000 Britons reveals that maintaining a healthy waist circumference (below 88cm for women and 102cm for men) and engaging in 150-300 minutes of moderate or 75-150 minutes of vigorous weekly exercise is crucial for minimizing cancer risk; meeting only one guideline is insufficient.

British Study Links Milk Consumption to Lower Colorectal Cancer Risk
A British study of 542,778 women found that consuming 200 grams of milk daily reduced colorectal cancer risk by 14 percent, while 50 grams of yogurt reduced it by 8 percent, largely due to calcium's protective effect; alcohol and processed meats increased risk.
