More than a third of cancers are caused by simple, preventable factors including insufficient exercise and poor diet, according to the most comprehensive international scientific study carried out to date.

In a series of recommendations that could hurt the food and restaurant sectors, it advises people to avoid dietary supplements, processed meats and junk food and even to limit their intake of fruit juices.

The findings, co-ordinated by the World Cancer Research Fund and drawing on the skills of 21 leading experts over the past six years, represent the most systematic effort yet to analyse and draw practical recommendations from 7,000 detailed scientific studies.

一项迄今最全面的国际科学研究表明，有三分之一以上的癌症是由一些简单而可预防的因素造成的，例如锻炼不足和饮食不善。

这份研究给出了一系列可能会危及食品和餐饮业的建议，包括远离营养药、加工肉制品和垃圾食物，甚至还建议人们限制果汁摄入量。

这些发现是由世界癌症研究基金(World Cancer Research Fund)协调、由21位著名专家在过去六年中运用各自专长得出的。此项研究分析了7000项详细的科学研究，并从中提取实际建议。这是目前在该领域最为系统的尝试。
