Obesity, biggest cause of cancer

Researchers have warned that obesity will become the biggest cause of cancer in women in 10 years.
There is already one of 12 new cases of disease associated with being overweight or obese and this measure is set to increase smoking cessation and stopping hormone replacement therapy.
Dr Andrew Renehan, a cancer expert at the University of Manchester, said: "Obesity is being moved to a level which makes it the largest cause related to cancer in women in 10 years."
In men, 3.2% of breast cancer was associated with being overweight or obese and 8.6% in women.
Colorectal cancer, breast cancer in postmenopausal women, and cancer endometrikal counted 65% of all cancer related to obesity.
Dr Renehan, from the University of Manchester, said: "I must emphasize we are not trying to make a sensation about this. All of this is a very conservative estimate, and the possibility of such numbers, in fact, higher."
This may be related to the interaction between smoking, alcohol, excess weight, and condition called back with acid drainage, but further research is necessary to understand it cause.
Scientists are not sure why obesity may increase cancer risk, but suspected it was related to hormones. As people put on weight, they produce more hormones such as estrogen that helps tumors grow. People who have a distended abdomen also has more acid in the stomach, which can trigger cancer of the stomach, intestine, or esopagus.
Dr Renehan said the new strategy is needed to help people stay slim. "We need to find a biological mechanism to help people find other ways to overcome obesity," he said. "Just telling people to lose weight certainly did not succeed."

How about the fact that people who are obese are most likely eating food that is full of ingredients that will kill them?
What about all the people eating sugar free things made with Apertame and other artificial sweeteners? (which are known neuro-toxins) What about all the prepared foods that people who are heavy buy, because they think they are "diet" versions of a favorite food.
Also people who are obese are probably not getting enough exercise. They tend to sit around watching TV for relaxation. And if they are obese, they are often very "touchy" about being called fat. It is not politically correct to point this out.
This may all be taken out of our hands if this country begins to experience shortages of food and gasoline. People will have to walk more and eat less. It could be beneficial after all.
The entire Health Care Industry might be brought to it's knees if people just took personal responsibility for their own lives and how the eat and move around.
I don't remember how I found your blog but I have been reading it for the last 45 minutes. Not a big deal except that I am supposed to be working. Anyway - thank you for the useful article. Btw - Great review
