I read an article that they are now saying being obese or over weight can increase your risk of getting over a dozen different types of cancer. What are your thoughts?

I think it can be a little misleading, but I think anyone who is considered obese should have annual checkups with their family doctor. I have a weight problem but my doctor says I'm in overall good shape for my age. I want to lose weight, and I want to do it right. The thought of cancer might be a good motivation to get me to work out more and eat the right foods.

Very true. As well as heart disease, Diabetes Type 2, Blood, kidney, and blood clots problems. My thoughts are this. Our children will not have the life span we have. There average life span will be about 50 years of age. But hay we can't go without supper seizing.
