Excess weight .. Can it cause cancer?

“At a time when obesity rates are rising around the world, understanding the association between obesity and the long-term risks of diseases such as cancer is critical to improving public health,” the study said, whose results were published in the journal JAMA Network Open.

“Our study indicates that being overweight or obese at multiple life stages may impact the risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers.

According to Krupp, a “body mass index” that reaches levels of obesity or overweight in early, middle and late adulthood increases the risk of gastrointestinal cancers.

Krupp said obesity and being overweight are linked to at least 13 types of cancer, according to the US National Cancer Institute.

“Fat cells can trigger an inflammatory response and promote weakening of immune cells. This can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, as well as certain types of cancer,” explained Krupp.
