: The risk of cancer involving young people aged between 15 and 49 is due to unhealthy diet, excessive consumption of sugar and the culture of smoking, including vaping, said Deputy Health Minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni.

“The excessive intake of sugar is due to social media influencers showcasing food containing high levels of sugar, for example, video clips showing them consuming drinks with condensed milk,” he said. However, he said an estimated 98 per cent of adults in Malaysia have at least one cancer-risk factor, namely unhealthy habits or the consumption of harmful tobacco or alcohol.
