Over a decade ago, an international team of researchers reported that being overweight or obese was linked to higher risks of 5 cancers:
✅ colon
✅ esophagus
✅ kidney
✅ breast
✅ uterus
Then, in August of 2016 that same group of researchers, in the New England Journal of Medicine, expanded that list significantly by identifying 8 additional cancers linked to excess weight and obesity:
✅ stomach
✅ liver
✅ gall bladder
✅ pancreas
✅ ovary
✅ thyroid
✅ meningioma (a type of brain tumor)
✅ multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these cancers make up 40% of all cancers diagnosed in the U.S. each year.
Being obese is like having a factory in your body polluting you with cancer-causing chemicals every day.
