Well another strike against obesity has been recorded, with scientists announcing that there's "convincing" evidence connecting a person's being overweight and subsequently developing cancer. Not good news for many folks.
Allow me, if you will, to toss one possible reason for this link into the mix:
The more fat, i.e. the more body cells you have, the higher chance you have of some of those cells becoming abnormal or cancerous.
Right? It's a game of chance really. The odds increase that you'll develop cancerous cells if there's more cells that could potentially be affected.
Add in the fact that overweight people tend to eat poorly to begin with, regularly devouring meats cooked in harmful smoke, or foods made with lots of questionable chemicals in them certainly doesn't help.
Dare I say that being heavy tips the scales against your favor?
