Those people who have been diagnosed obesity or simply are overweight are more likely to get sick ten kinds of the most common forms cancer . Such disappointing data emerged recently in the medical journal Lancet .

This theory tried to prove the scientists from Great Britain Who estimated that the presence of excess weight contributes to the appearance of more than 12 000 cases of cancer each year among residents England . According to experts, if people will continue to treat lightly the problems of obesity, the number of cancer cases will continue to increase.

Researchers for seven years studied data about five million people. As a result of this large-scale study was the largest among those that confirm the connection between extra kilos and cancer. For example, according to doctors, it is overweight significantly increases the likelihood of breast cancer. But in the course of the study, all were marked precisely those kinds of oncological diseases that develop under the influence overweight   more often.
