This year more than 1.5 million Americans will develop cancer. Every 57 seconds someone dies of cancer in
America. This year that would total almost 600,000 people who will die of the disease. One out of every four
deaths is directly related to cancer, the top killer of Americans under age 85. Decades of research have shown
that our risk of developing cancer is directly related to what we eat and how much we move. Simply eating a
healthy diet, getting daily physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight could cut overall risk of cancer by
about one-third and – for many cancers – by much more. Risk of colon cancer, for example, could be lowered
by as much as 45 percent. AICR’s ongoing research and education mission and our commitment to taking action
on what we know represent one of the most significant hopes for reducing the cancer burden in America.
