Just read about an interesting conclusion that some scientists have come to after analyzing 300,000 cancer cases.

Basically, they are now able to conclusively say that Obesity is a serious cause of cancer. After analysis, they can say that obesity is the cause of 20% of cancer. Which means obesity is beginning to seriously compete with tobacco  
(cause of 30% of cancer) for the title of top cause
of cancer.

In fact, ”at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, nutrition expert Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health predicted that obesity will soon replace smoking as the leading cause of cancer in the developed world. He was referring to multiple studies — some on animals and some ongoing, involving hundreds of thousands of humans — that leave little doubt to the obesity-cancer connection.”
