Does Exercise Prevent Cancer? (NYT)

Although most medical researchers agree that regular exercise is generally good for health and makes people feel better, there is less agreement on whether it prevents cancer. In a recent article in New York Times (NYT), exercise contributed slightly to reducing the risk of breast cancer and colon cancer, even though the correlation was weak. For other forms of cancer, there is no clear evidence to indicate that regular exercise can actually prevent them from occuring. More on this can be found at here on NYT.
