A new study has found an association between obesity and cancer within the people aged 24 to 49. Different types of cancer has been typically found in the elderly, but is now being found at a much younger age which are concerning doctors and scientist. Even though cancer incidences have been decreasing within males and staying steady in females cancer is rising within these adults who have obesity. Scientist believe that the cause of this could be from fatty acids which causes changes in people’s metabolism can also be a factor of cancer.
I don’t believe that obesity can be the causation of cancer, but there could definitely be an association between the two. I wouldn’t fully disregard this article for this reason because they never said it was a causation but an association however the title makes it seem like there is. Research is still being done to figure out how obesity can be an affect that causes cancer so it would be better to try to reduce the likeliness that we can get cancer by trying to keep our bodies healthy.
