Hi all,

This is all over the news here in the UK today –

Increased risk of 11 types of cancer linked to being overweight, researchers warn.

I know that we have all heard many times about the risks of obesity and cancer etc but thought I would throw this up again as it is out today.

“The new study by an international team adds weight to the warning, revealing that there is currently strong evidence for a link between excess body fat and an increased risk of 11 cancers: colon, rectum, endometrium, breast, ovary, kidney, pancreas, gastric cardia, biliary tract system and certain cancers of the oesophagus and bone marrow.”

Please use the link in the Guardian piece above as that will take you to the British Medical Journal actual research piece if you want to read more about this story.

Thanks,

Gavin
