Cancer can have three causes: genetic, nutritional and environmental. The food cause is the only we study on this site, we know roughly that reduces the risk by eating less meat, less grilled food.
In contrast, consumption of fruits and vegetables (at least 5 per day) reduces the risk due in part to the vitamin, but it is not the only factor.
