Here's a short answer to this question:

Quest: What makes you fat?
Answ: SUGAR

Quest: What fuels cancer?
Answ: SUGAR

In a nutshell, stay away from sugar (in all forms) and you won't be fat and ward of cancer, heart diease, automimmune diseases etc..etc...

If you eat MORE processed foods, you eat MORE poisons
of course you would end up with MORE cancers.

It also does not take into account the stereotypes that many people have about people who have weight problems. But it does provide a starting place.

They could improve the quality of research done in this area, I feel, by moving away from BMI definitions for obesity.

Using percentage of body fat to me is more accurate.

More importantly, measuring levels of insulin would be a much better marker for predicting most all degenerative diseases of aging including cancer.

Some people can simply put out much larger amounts of insulin than others in response to sugar intake. Thus, there are skinny diabetics who are possibly in greater danger of dying early than an obese person is with lower insulin levels. Some obese people can keep their insulin levels lower by improving insulin resistance with exercise, for instance.

It is higher levels of insulin that does damage, especially to blood vessel walls. Higher insulin levels will be correlated to chronic higher levels of stress hormones and cortisol. Insulin resistance will often be out of whack with sex hormones being out of balance. And so forth.

The reason the medical system and researchers continue to ignore insulin levels as a monitoring system, however, is because there is no real effective way to lower insulin levels on a permanent healthy basis with any drugs. Lifestyle changes is the only way---and that is obviously never going to be the focus of drug companies who fund much of the research.

They will be looking for a drug to increase leptin levels or change the internal biological clocks or some other insane thing rather than simply living closer to how we were genetically designed to live.

As I have mentioned before, when I was forty pounds over weight, it had multiple catastrophic consequences.

Just 40 lbs.
