Some cancers are rising in millennials. Obesity might be why

Cancer cases are sharply rising among younger Americans. An alarming new study sheds light on why. This is very unfortunate news. Researchers looked at 30 of the most common cancer types. 12 of them were obesity-related. Of those 12, six types have risen in younger people. Obesity has been on the rise not just here in America, but around the world. And now adults between the ages of 25 and 49 here in the US are being diagnosed more often with potentially deadly diseases that are associated with obesity.
