The link between teenage obesity and bowel cancer
Past research has linked processed red meat and abdominal
fat to
bowel cancer. Who would’ve guessed that teenage
obesity could pose a risk of developing it too?
Study participants were aged between 16 and 20 when researchers started the study. The overwhelming majority were a normal weight, but 6.5% were
overweight and 1% obese.
At the end of the study, researchers noted that 855 cases of bowel cancer arose. However, their results showed that it mainly affected
overweight and obese participants.
More specifically, the results showed that obese participants were 2.38 times more likely to have developed a bowel
tumour.

The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").

Adolescence is a period of accelerated growth
Researchers report: Late adolescence marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. It’s a period of accelerated growth, especially among men, thus this period may represent a critical window.”
“It’s important that we understand the role of exposures in childhood and adolescence in the development of colorectal cancer,” they add.
Rachel Thompson from the World
Cancer Research Fund said these new findings are interesting. “It’s interesting because it gives an indication that bowel cancer risk might be affected by our lifestyle habits throughout the life course,” she said.
