The World Health Organisation has released a list of thing that can cause cancer. Officials said just 50g of processed meat a day – less than one sausage – increases the risk of bowel cancer by almost a fifth.

The report also classified red meat as 'probably carcinogenic' – one rank below – but added that it had some nutritional benefits.

Experts are now urging the public to avoid processed meat where possible and to have a bean salad for lunch rather than a BLT. Experts think the substances added during processing cause cancer.

Here is a list of what you should avoid if you want to stay away from cancer.

1. Tobacco smoking

2. Sunlamps and sunbeds
