Many unaware of cancer-obesity link

Many are stupid, too.

"Around half of people are unaware that being overweight or obese can cause cancer, a poll has shown.

It found that 48% of people were unaware of the link between excess body fat and cancer risk. The survey also found that only 38% of people knew that drinking alcohol and not taking exercise increased their risk of the disease...

A total of 43% were unaware that having a poor diet is linked to cancer...

Lucie Galice, general manager of the WCRF, said maintaining a healthy weight was the single most important thing people could do to protect themselves from cancer after stopping smoking.

She added: 'The evidence on this is really clear and in fact scientists estimate that about a third of cancer could be prevented just by doing these things.'"

Must be that too fat causes malignant stupidity.
