Why Obesity-Related Cancer Cases Are Rising Fast!

SunBro Health

Cancer deaths overall are dropping — but not the ones tied to obesity. New research shows obesity-related cancers have tripled in the last 20 years, now making up 40% of new U.S. cancer cases. These include colon, breast (postmenopausal), uterine, kidney, liver, and more. In this video, we break down: • The 13 cancers linked to obesity.  • Why women are at higher risk.  • How fat cells, inflammation, and gut changes fuel cancer.  • The role of insulin resistance and chronic inflammation.  • Why obesity often goes untreated.  • How to protect yourself with proven cancer-prevention steps. Obesity is the second leading preventable cause of cancer after smoking — but its risks are still underestimated. Learn what’s really driving this link and what you can do today to lower your risk.

00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about why obesity-related cancer cases are rising fast.

00:15Cancer deaths are down overall, but not those from obesity, which have tripled in 20 years.

00:20Affected cancers are esophageal, colon, rectal, postmenopausal breast, uterine, gallbladder,

00:25upper stomach, kidney, liver, ovarian, pancreatic, thyroid, meningioma, and multiple myeloma,

00:32now 40% of new US cases. Risk is higher for women, older adults, Native Americans, and Black Americans.

00:39Obesity is the number two preventable cancer cause after smoking. Here are what you need to know.

00:441. Women are hit harder. Cases up yearly since 2003. Women under 50 are 82% likelier than men to get

00:50cancer. Weight loss improves survival, especially for breast and colon cancers.

00:552. How fat cells cause trouble. Fat cells can turn harmful adiposopathy and cluster near organs

01:01where obesity-related cancers form. After menopause, they produce estrogen that fuels cancers like

01:06breast and uterine. 3. The inflammation-insulin connection. Extra fat sparks chronic inflammation

01:12and high insulin, promoting abnormal growth. 4. Gut changes and colon cancer. Obesity raises

01:18sphingolipids, spurring stem cell overgrowth and boosting colon cancer risk by 57%.

01:225. The bias problem. Over 42% of Americans have obesity, projected to hit 50% by 2030,

01:30yet only 10% get treatment. Many doctors dismiss it as a lifestyle issue. Early cancer signs are often

01:35overlooked, and screening equipment may not fit larger bodies, delaying diagnosis.

01:40What you can do. Treat obesity as a medical condition. See an Obesity Medicine Specialist,

01:44Obesity Medicine Association Directory. Get regular screenings. Exercise 150-plus minutes weekly.

01:51Limit alcohol. Every drink raises cancer risk. Sleep 6-8 hours nightly. And eat balanced meals and

01:57address insulin resistance early. Experts call for a public health response like we had for smoking,

02:02but early personal action can save lives.
