Always a good read, most cancers are environmental, and most of these are caused by obesity, bad diet and smoking/drinking, fix these four things in your life and you reduce your chances of getting cancer by 50%+

  Assuming you have those under control, what about sustained stress? Little sleep, etc...

    On sleep I'm not actually sure if they've parsed out whether it's little sleep itself that affects you or if it's little sleep making you not exercise or eat well
    I'm wayyyy less likely to exercise if I've only slept 5 hours
