Link to obesity
Before I get a chance to read the original source, from the BBC website some news:
The number of new cancer cases has increased by 20% in under a decade and now stands at 12 million a year, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. It warns that nearly a quarter of those cases are "preventable". It calculated that 2.8m new cancers each year are linked to diet, exercise and obesity.
Have a look at this month's Good Housekeeping issue on breast cancer awareness. In their Good Health section, they have 'Everything you need to know'. Number one is Aim for a healthy weight. Including the risks but also what you can do. Read it.
