Convincing study finds
a direct relationship between the amount of excess weight and the risk
of death from most cancers. The
American Cancer Society published their extensive study in The New
England Journal of Medicine of April 2003, and revealed the direct
connection between excess weight and obesity to deaths from a wide
variety of cancers such as multiple myeloma, cancer of the ovary,
colon, prostate, cervix, pancreas, kidney, esophagus, rectum,
gallbladder and liver, and even non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The more
the excess weight, the study found, the higher the probability of
dying of one of the cancers.
