“Being overweight or having obesity are associated with a higher risk of getting 13 types of cancer. These cancers make up 40% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States each year.

Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
Breast (in women who have gone through menopause).
Colon and rectum.
Uterus.
Gallbladder.
Upper stomach.
Kidneys.
Liver.
Ovaries.
Pancreas.
Thyroid.
Meningioma (a type of brain cancer).
Multiple myeloma.”

Of course, many other cancers have no link to obesity.

the headline says “obesity related cancer deaths”...and yet the article onlyy says cancer types associated with obesity. Seems like propaganda to me for covering a different underlying cause. Its certainly total junk science at the least.
