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. Eating in harmony with leptin should be at the top of everyone's list, young and old. A failure to do so significantly increases the risk for early death and the onset of the diseases of aging.
