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.
Haggis can be awful at the best of times, but itâs something I grew up with having two Scottish parents and it can be very good if itâs prepared right. Haggis that is boiled or out of a can will make me want to hurl it back at whoever served it to me, just for the record. I only eat Haggis as a breakfast sausage â same goes for every other Scottish person in my family.
