Obesity and Prostate Cancer

The University of Southern California has an NIH grant to explore the relationship between obesity and cancer. Researchers are now reporting what I have been stating since the release of Mastering Leptin in 2002, obesity is a significant risk factor for aggressive prostate cancer....

Death Rate from Prostate Cancer Much Higher in Overweight Men

A new study confirms that men who are overweight or obese are twice as likely to die from prostate cancer. I reported back in 2002 in my book, Mastering Leptin, that leptin problems (overweight issues) are a main risk for developing prostate or breast cancer. The science was known back then. Obesity generates highly inflammatory signals that directly induce the cancer risk problem.

Pollution is One Major Cause of Diabetes and Obesity

In the January 25, 2008 issue of the Lancet an article appears, which if followed up on, would positively change the health of all Americans for generations to come. The article is titled Environmental pollution and diabetes: a neglected association. It is based on a solid scientific link between insulin resistance and pollution, especially compounds like PCBs and many pesticides used on food.

New Obesity Link to Breast and Prostate Cancer

New information helps to explain how breast and prostate cancer are linked to obesity. Two hormones that come from fat, leptin and adiponectin, are involved in the problem.

Obesity Increases Risk for Aggressive Breast Cancer

A wake up call has been issued to women. If you are overweight and you get breast cancer it is more likely to be life threatening, and you have significantly poorer odds of being alive 5 or 10 years following treatment if weight issues are not corrected.

Refined Carbohydrates Linked to Breast Cancer

A new study demonstrates that both estrogen positive and estrogen negative breast cancer in post menopausal women is linked directly to the size of their waistline and consumption of junky carbohydrates.

Low Melatonin Associated with Breast Cancer

Researchers just demonstrated that low melatonin levels are a new risk factor for invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. They had already demonstrated the same finding in premenopausal women.

Sluggish Thyroid Associated with Breast Cancer Risk

New research is proposing overactive thyroid is protective against breast cancer because of the extra free radicals the condition generates that induce cell death in breast cancer cells. Conversely, a sluggish thyroid would have less ability to exert such influence on cancer cells, thus the higher rate of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer and Stress, Younger Women Take Note

In women ages 25 – 45 a clear link has been established between stress and breast cancer risk. Women with two or more traumatic events had a 62% greater risk, whereas women who were able to maintain a positive and optimistic outlook had 25% less risk.

Indole-3-Carbinol Stops Cancer

Indole-3-carbinol, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, brussels sprouts, and cabbage) and dietary supplements, has been found to modify a key enzyme involved with the spreading of cancer, especially breast cancer.
