Since 1990, World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK) has been dedicated to
providing research and education programmes on the role of diet and physical
activity in the prevention of cancer.
In November 2007, we published the most comprehensive report on the link
between cancer prevention and diet, physical activity and weight management.
Experts estimate that about a third of cancers could be prevented by making
healthy diet and activity choices – about the same as not smoking.
Our vision
World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK) helps people make choices that reduce
their chances of developing cancer..
Our heritage
We were the first cancer charity:
To create awareness of the relationship between diet and cancer risk
To focus funding on research into diet and cancer prevention
To consolidate and interpret global research to create a practical
message on cancer prevention.
Our mission
Today WCRF UK continues:
Funding research on the relationship of nutrition, physical activity
and weight management to cancer risk.
Interpreting the accumulated scientific literature in the field.
To ensure that diet and health recommendations for reducing the risk of cancer are based on current science.
Educating people about choices they can make to reduce their chances
of developing cancer. |
