A study has found that one in eight people incorrectly believe that coffee causes cancer - noting that they think it was carcinogenic.
As well as 12 per cent of those polled incorrectly thinking that coffee causes cancer - when it can actually reduce the risk of some cancers - many respondents failed to recognise proven causes of cancer.The research found that while 86 per cent of people thought that smoking increased the risk of cancer, only 60 per cent said that being overweight also caused the disease.
Your risk of cancer can depend on many different things, like genetics or age - however, four in 10 UK cancer cases could be prevented.
