"It is still not well understood what causes the sex difference in overweight/obesity-related thyroid cancer risk," Dr. Laaksonen says.

The same question has been asked about COVID. The research points to androgen.

Which thyroid cancer? There are several types.

Thyroid problems cause obesity. So does the same problem that causes the obesity cause cancer too?

And maybe the same chemical that causes obesity by inducing metabolic syndrome causes thyroid cancer...preservatives, plastics, birth control pill hormones in the water...

Or is related to radiation as in the environment? Or iodine lack?

Cancer cells love sugar as fuel and most overweight people consume lots of sugar. Its like contantly putting Miracle Grow on the weeds in your lawn.

Extra weight is a problem in itself. My daughter and son-in-law are overweight, but still young enough to be perfectly healthy. I think. Daughter gets a lot of exercise, but is , IMO, best cook in the state.

On the other hand, I weigh 118, am a horrible cook, and often forget to eat. Didn’t have breakfast til one this afternoon. What a rotten way to stay healthy.

One third of them are obese and another third just overweight so this is a big problem. Looking forward to them being locked down to prevent this impending epidemic of preventable thyroid cancers.
Skinny people should not just be locked down but sent to a resilience camp to keep them safe. They could still get fat if they’re allowed outside to eat fast food.
