Following is advance for use after 5 p.m. EDT. (Undated-AP) -- A study says that losing weight could prevent one of every six U-S cancer deaths. That would save more than 90-thousand lives a year.
Researchers looked at 16 years of data on 900-thousand people who were cancer-free when the study began in 1982. They conclude weight may account for 14 percent of all cancer deaths in men and 20 percent in women.
The study supports earlier links to some cancers. But it was so in-depth that it could spot eight other types. Outside experts say the amount of data is so large, and the study is so well-done, that it just about proves a link between fat and cancer.
The lead researcher is with the American Cancer Society. The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine.

That really pisses me off, its like people don\'t even understand WHY they have cancer; its cause of all the crap they eat. What you put in, you put out, and if your eating Big Macs and Wendy\'s double bacon cheese burgers all day, your sure enough to get sick... god, who knows what the hell they feed the KFC chickens...

they feed the KFC chickens tumors, I saw it on 60 minutes.

Is this gonna be one of those conspiracy threads that sez the US government is trying to kill black people?
-
way to be encouraging
-
hey, if dying from cancer isn\'t encouragement enough to put down the twinkie, then nothing\'s gonna help.

Stop eating all that crappy fast food my friends. You\'ll be better off skipping it. :)
-
however, this could work out for me. A new way to motivate clients.
"Give me one more rep"
"But it\'s too hard"
"give me one more rep, or YOU\'LL GET CANCER YOU FAT SON OF A BITCH! AND IT\'LL PROBABLY BE NUT CANCER, DO YOU WANT NUT CANCER YOU PIE EAT\'N WHORE?!"
yup, that\'ll work nicely
-
mmmmm pie.....

I\'ve lost 35kgs in 6 months... :)

I can\'t gain weight, even with all the fatty crap I eat, especailly my cafeteria food. Theres so much oil in the french fries (excuse me, Freedom Fries :rolleyes: ), you can oil up an engine with enough left over to oil up a fat man named Bubba. I\'ve actually wrung out a french fry. Its sickening but I don\'t gain weight from eating as much of them as I do.

They should get off their fat arses and do some exercise!

What about Linda McArtney? She was one of those "if it isn\'t green, I won\'t eat it" types, and she karked it.
I don\'t believe cancer is affected by what you eat, it just happens. It doesn\'t discriminate.
