HEALTH SHOCKER: CANCER caused by OBESITY has TRIPLED the deaths of Americans in just the past two decades

"Every third American is overweight, and half of those folks are obese. That's a lot of heavy people who are not ideally healthy, to say the least. It's like they're playing Russian roulette with their health every day, and now science shows they're not just "playing with fire," but they're flirting with disaster, by the name of cancer."

"A new nationwide study has uncovered a startling and accelerating public health crisis: cancer deaths tied to excess weight have more than tripled in the past 20 years. The findings, presented at a major medical conference in San Francisco, reveal that obesity-related cancer deaths rose from 3.7 per million Americans in 1999 to 13.5 per million by 2020, with the most rapid surge occurring between 2018 and 2020, when deaths climbed more than 19% annually. This translates to tens of thousands of preventable deaths each year."

"Excess weight is strongly associated with 13 different cancers, accounting for 40% of all U.S. cancer diagnoses. These include some of the deadliest types-such as colon, breast, liver, pancreatic, kidney, and ovarian cancers-making this not just a niche issue but a central factor in America's cancer burden."

One-third of Americans are overweight and half of those are obese. Cancer deaths tied to excess weight rose from 3.7 per million in 1999 to 13.5 per million by 2020, with annual increases exceeding 19% between 2018 and 2020. Over 33,500 obesity-linked cancer deaths were examined, translating to tens of thousands of preventable deaths each year. Excess weight is strongly associated with 13 cancers and accounts for about 40% of U.S. cancer diagnoses, including colon, breast, liver, pancreatic, kidney, and ovarian cancers. Fat tissue releases hormones and inflammatory compounds, drives chronic inflammation, disrupts insulin regulation, and alters hormone balance, increasing cancer risk the longer excess weight is carried. Areas with limited healthcare access show particularly severe patterns.
