Fat people can get cancer easier

Every single year, more than one hundred thousand Americans suffer from cancers which are rooted from obesity. Fat people have greater risk of getting cancer than thin people or standard weight people. The USA Cancer Research Institute has reported the connection between the foods we eat and the chance of having cancer. They found that there are obvious relationships between them. In addition, they reported that 49 per cent of cancers are abdominal and uterus cancers and 35 per cent are cancers which are related to the excess fat in the body.

Lorrence Kilonel , the institute researcher had said that it was obvious to indicate that being fat had a lot to do with having cancer. And if you got cancer when you are fat, the treatment would be more difficult. The survival rate would be lower.

Although the scientists have found the relationships between the two, they do not really specify the type of cancer and the food we eat. But they indicated that the increase of fat tissue may trigger the increase of sex hormone production. As a result, the hormone will speed up the growth of cancer cells. In addition, the increase of fat reduces the immune mechanism.

Report shows that more than 34 per cent of Americans who are over 20 years old are obese.
