I disagree that there aren't any cures for cancer. If chemotherapy results in the person being free of cancer, is that not a cure?
Just because things aren't always 100% effective doesn't mean they can't be a cure. Lots of people smoke but not all of them get lung cancer.
Study after study after study has proven that healthy diet etc prevents cancer. Medical professionals state it over and over again and in the UK the NHS have a campaign, 'eat healthy, move more and live longer' - everyone knows that, it is a proven fact.
As far as over-simplifying a scientific article - that's the point. The public do not want to read massively scientific articles. It's written in every day language that is accessable to anyone, not just members of the profession.
