Being overweight leads to cancer

Obesity is a leading cause of cancer. Unsuprisingly, being overweight puts physical and mental health at risk of becoming sick and contracting diseases.

A new study, published in the Lancet medical journal, reports that there is a link between obesity and 10 different types of cancer, among them; breast, kidney, gallbladder, ovarian, liver and colon cancer. 

The researches estimate than due to our poor diets and increased numbers in people with obesity, more people will be contracting cancer on a yearly basis. It is already recognised that being overweight causes cardiovascular diseases such as diabetes.
