Health: Obesity is shifting cancer to young adults/Story: The Magical Frog

Lorenzo's Health Corner: Obesity is shifting cancer to young adults   “A Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researcher has compiled evidence from more than 100 publications to show how obesity increases risk of 13 different cancers in young adults. The meta-analysis describes how obesity has shifted certain cancers to younger age groups, and intensified cellular mechanisms promoting the diseases.   Cancer typically associated with older adults over 50 are now reported with increasing frequency in young adults. Of the 20 most common cancers in the United States, nine are now reported in young adults. In 2016, nearly 1 in 10 new breast cancer cases, and 1 in 4 new thyroid cancer cases were in young people aged 20-44, according to the review published in Obesity. The data show that with obesity rising among younger demographics, so are cancer rates.”   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180326110029.htm   Story: The Magical Frog. By Uncle Amon
