Obesity and cancer

A review of the problem may be found in:
http://ehealthforum.com/blogs/dr-robert-wascher/obesity-and-cancer-risk-b10026.html

The study shows in particular:
--- overall 21% higher risk of cancer
--- 50% higher risk for colon cancer
--- 162% higher risk for ovarian cancer
--- 321% higher risk for cervical cancer


Obesity is probably to be regarded the same serious for cancer risk as for risk of
heart diseases, because:
--- it is caused by excess of Dampness energy
--- basic energy of cancer is Cold
--- in an energy circulation 
Wind--->Heat--->Burn--->Dampness--->Dryness--->Cold
Dampness opens the Yin part of the circle and Cold is final stage, so evolution of Dampness
disease into Cold disease is quite natural.
