Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the relationship between diet and cancer risk. Research has shown that certain dietary patterns can influence the likelihood of developing cancer.

Consider the statement about excessive alcohol consumption. It is widely recognized that excessive alcohol intake is a risk factor for various types of cancer, including liver, breast, and colorectal cancers.

Evaluate the claim regarding a diet high in fruits and vegetables. Numerous studies suggest that such a diet can lower the risk of certain cancers due to the presence of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.

Examine the statement about processed meats. The consumption of processed meats has been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer, among others, due to the presence of carcinogenic compounds formed during processing.

Identify the false statement: 'There is no evidence that diet has any impact on cancer risk.' This is incorrect because there is substantial evidence supporting the impact of diet on cancer risk, as discussed in the previous steps.
