Step-by-step explanation:

In 2015, poor diet was responsible for

38% of colon/rectal cancers

26% of

  • mouth
  • pharynx
  • larynx cancers

Colon Rectal cancers have to do with organs that remove waste from the body

Pharynx: part of the breathing system. It carries air food and liquid from the nose and mouth

Larynx: a hollow tube that lets air pass from your throat (pharynx) to your trachea on the way to your lungs. The voice chords are housed here.
