Excess body fat without a doubt causes cancer. On November 1, 2007 the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), released the most comprehensive report ever published linking fat and cancer.

It's landmark report stated that extra fat on the body increases our likehood of contracting six cancers-cancers of the colon, kidney, pancreas, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and endometrium as well as post-menopausal breast cancer.

This was a huge study. It involved nine independent teams of scientists scattered around the globe, 21 international experts who reviewed and analyzed over 7,000 large-scale studies. The study took 5 years to conduct and there were hundreds of peer reviewers. As you can see, this was no small study.

It has long been believed that cancer is linked to many factors including weight, diet and physical exercise. In light of the fact that Americans are becoming increasingly sedentary (lazy) and fatter, this report will hopefully convince you that now is the time to shed those extra inches. Your life could depend on it.

Expert panel member W. Philip T. James, M.D., D.Sc. said, “The most striking finding in the report is that excessive body fat increases risk for numerous cancers. That is why body weight is the focus of our first recommendation.” James further states, “…even small amounts of excess-body-fat, especially if carried at the waist increase risk."


Having a solid nutritional plan that reduces extra body fat is one of the smartest investments you can make in your health. Besides proper nutrition, your plan should include such things as weight training, aerobic exercise, stress reduction and sufficient sleep.
