According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a staggering 42% of American adults classify as obese. In addition to other serious health complications, obesity increases the risk of people developing 13 forms of cancer. A recent SciTechDaily article discussed a new study from Cleveland Clinic that suggests that weight loss can reduce the risk of cancer. Specifically, people who underwent bariatric surgery had a 32% lower chance of getting cancer, and 48% lower risk of dying from it.
