Obesity may raise risk of ovarian cancer

Kudos, fatsos.
"Obese women may have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer than their thinner counterparts, a large study of U.S. women suggests.

Ovarian cancer is a particularly deadly type of cancer because in the initial stages it typically has vague symptoms or none at all, making it difficult to catch early...

Among women who'd never used HRT, those who were obese had an 83 percent higher risk of ovarian cancer that normal-weight women did.

The findings, reported in the journal Cancer, suggest that obesity may be one of a few controllable risk factors for ovarian cancer."
Getting ovarian cancer is a tough, but effective, way to lose weight.

Bit late in the game, though.

You fatsos might want to consider weight loss before your ovaries get cancer, since you will likely lose the weight anyway.

One way or another.
