(09-10-06) Extra Belly Weight Increases Colon Cancer Risk in
Extra body fat is linked to increased risk for colon
cancer. In an Australian study following 24,072
women for 10 years, those with the most abdominal
fat were more likely than thinner women to develop
colon cancer. Every four inches of extra abdominal
girth increased risk by 14 percent. Other research
has shown that the best way to lose weight (or to
maintain a healthy weight) is to follow a diet built
from whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruit.
