Top 7 Kinds of Cancer in Japan

Japanese are generally a healthy lot. But they are not immune to cancer, especially considering all the smokers and western junk food eaters.

The number one kind of cancer in Japan:

1. Lung/trachea – 59,910  – 47% of Japanese men smoke and 11.3% of the women huff and puff.

2. Stomach – 50,554

3. Liver – 34,515 – booze is the social lubricant they say.

4. Colon – 26,472

5. Pancreas – 22,255

6. Rectum – 13,565

7. Esophagus – 11,171

How many of those cases of cancer could be prevented if the Japanese, well any country for that matter, would just watch what they consume?
