Wow, I never knew that being overweight could actually increase the risk of cancer. Very surprising, I always thought weight could only affect things like the heart health or lead to diabetes. But I'm curious, are there any specific type of cancer linked to obesity?
12 obesity-related cancers (endometrial, ovarian, breast, colorectal, pancreas, multiple myeloma, liver, kidney (renal cell), thyroid, gallbladder, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and meningioma).
Extra:
In the study, severely obese people are less likely to perform colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and PSA testing!
