Lung Cancer
New cases: 22,300 a year
How to protect yourself: Use your loaf. Make your butties with linseed bread – the magic seeds contain phytoestrogens called lignans, which were shown to offer men protection against lung cancer by the Journal of the American Medical Association.

New cases: 20,400 a year
How to protect yourself: Reach for the bottle – the one containing calcium supplements in particular.

Prostate Cancer:
New cases: 35,000 a year
How to protect yourself: Protecting your prostate is one of life's privileges. Ejaculating five times a week reduces your chance of attack by a third, researchers at Cancer Council Australia say.

Pancreatic Cancer
New cases: 3,700 a year
How to protect yourself: If this killer has stalked your stock through the generations, get yourself checked – there's a strong hereditary connection.
