There is a link between weight and cancers

It is apparently well known in proven research that being fat can trigger cancer.

However, The World Cancer Research Fund says that four in ten Brits are oblivious to this fact.  And at least half did not know of a link between lack of exercise and the disease.

Two in three adults in this country are alleged to be overweight and experts estimate that it causes one in five cancers.  The WCRF said: "it is worrying that so many are still not aware that being overweight can increase their chances of cancer".

The International Agency for Research on Cancer linked obesity to colon, oesophagus, kidney, uterus and breast cancers.  However, they have no also said it has links to stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, ovary, thyroid, brain tumour meningioma and multiple myeloma.

The lesson is: yes, be happy with your body.  When you look in the mirror are you happy?  It should be noted that some people like being large.  As long as they know they are running a higher risk then that is their choice.

But maybe, if you really want to do the best for your life, improve your fitness and health, and watch your weight
