A growing number of cancer cases places the blame directly on the growing waistline of America, as the obese are accounting for roughly 10% of all cancer cases in the country. Thus, researchers have now definitely concluded that being overweight and obese can definitely increase the risk or cause cancer.
The study estimated that as much as 14% of all colon cancer cases could disappear if no one were obese or overweight. Likewise, some 11% of all breast cancer cases would be eliminated if obesity ceased to exist.
This study has highlighted the need to control the epidemic levels that obesity has reached in America. Something has to be done now to curb the excessive appetites of the normal American.
