Over-Weight and Obesity Linked To Many Cancers

"Being obese or even overweight indicates the body is in a state of latent tissue acidosis and the body is in preservation mode. Obesity or being over-weight does not cause cancer directly or indirectly. Dietary and/or metabolic acids that can cause cancer when not eliminated through urination, defecation, respiration or perspiration are buffered and stored in the body's fatty and connective tissues. This can increase a person's risk of developing up to a dozen different types of cancers," states Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, commenting on a new European study on obesity and the link to cancer.

Doctors have long suspected a link between weight gain and certain cancers, including colon and breast cancers. But the new study, published Friday in the journal Lancet, suggests it could also increase chances for cancer of the esophagus, thyroid, kidney, uterus and gall bladder, among others.

While the study suggests a link, there is no definitive proof that being fat in itself causes cancer.

Dr. Young states, "cancer is a liquid acid from diet and metabolism. The body uses fat to protect itself from these dietary and metabolic acids which can damage and destroy healthy blood and body cells leading to a cancerous condition. The key to the prevention of cancer and losing weight is by reducing dietary and/or metabolic acids that cause cancer and then the fat will automatically and naturally melt away."

"To make the link between cause and effect, we need to tick several boxes," said Dr. Andrew Renehan, the study's lead author and senior lecturer at the School of Cancer Studies at the University of Manchester.
"This study begins to tick the first two or three boxes, but more research is needed to confirm it."

The researchers compiled data from 141 studies and considered more types of cancers and more diverse populations than had been done previously. The research covered more than 280,000 cases from North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.

The subjects, both overweight and normal weight, were followed for about nine to 15 years, with researchers tracking their body mass index, or BMI -- a calculation based on weight and height -- and correlating it with incidents of cancer.

In men, an average weight gain of 33 pounds increased the risk of esophageal cancer by 52 percent, thyroid cancer by 33 percent, and colon and kidney cancers each by 24 percent, the research found.

In women, a weight gain of 29 pounds increased the risk of cancer in the uterus and gall bladder by nearly 60 percent, esophagus by 51 percent and kidney by 34 percent, the study said.

The link was weaker for bone and blood cancers, for both men and women.

In Asian populations, there appeared to be a stronger link between increased BMI and breast cancer, the study said.

"This study provides a lot of circumstantial evidence about the dangers of obesity," said Dr.
David Robbins, a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, who was not involved in the study. "It also highlights the cancer crisis we face as obesity rates increase worldwide."

Scientists are unsure how being overweight could make people more susceptible to cancer.

"One of the hypotheses is that the presence of excess fat cells could affect the levels of hormones in your body," Renehan said. "At a cellular level, that may favor the development of tumors in humans."

According to Dr. Young, "the answer is simple, cancer is a four letter word, A C I D. Eliminate the acids from the body tissues and NO MORE CANCER and NO MORE OVER-WEIGHT or OBESITY. Once the acid cancer is being properly eliminated through the four channels of elimination the body will stop parking its acid on the hips, thighs, buttocks, waistline, breasts and brain."

Because many studies have found that fatter people are more likely to get cancer, experts often recommend losing weight to reduce cancer risk.

Dr. Young states, "overweight and obese people should understand they are not overweight or obese they are over-acid from poor lifestyle and dietary choices.
They should thank God for their fat and realize that it is saving their life. Then they should start alkalizing their blood and tissues with alkaline foods and drinks and watch the weight fall off the body naturally and without effort."

"The simple message is that, if you manage to keep a healthy body weight, you will have a lower risk of developing cancer," said Ed Yong, of Cancer Research United Kingdom.

"The real answer is understanding that the body is alkaline by design and acidic by function. The cause and the cure for cancer is now known. The cause is over-acidity and the cure is in preventing over-acidity by over-alkalizing the blood and tissues," states Dr. Young.
