This theory states that 15% of cancers are caused by viruses. One example is HPV, which causes cervical cancer i.e. cancer of the cervix in women. The virus is lysogenic and it inserts a destructive gene into the tumor suppressor T53 gene. This allows a mutated oncogene to cause a cell to become cancerous.his theory states that 15% of cancers are caused by viruses.

This is of course statistical and there will be very healthy Scots as well. You really can't take a whole nation and talk about what they eat just like that. There are traditional foods like oat cakes, porridge and haggis but I have no idea how many Scottish people eat these on a day to day basis.
Traditional Scottish haggis isn't the sole preserve of meat eaters - vegetarians have been enjoying their own Macsween haggis for over a quarter of a century. It's a irresitibly crumbly combination of cereals, onions, vegetables, pulses and spices. Proudly and unmistakeably a haggis for vegetarians and vegans, but relished by carnivores too.
