Cancer is the number one killer of British men...

...so says a report from Cancer Research UK. And they're going to launch a campaign to increase awareness about it. Great.

Except that their report suggests that cancer has hit top spot because death rates from cancer (down 15 percent in a decade) are falling less quickly than death rates from heart disease (down 30 percent in a decade).

So, nobody thought that the headline of the article could be something like, 'Nation getting healthier says report'?
