Obesity is a leading cause of 100,000 US cancer cases.

According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, obesity causes more than 100,000 cases of cancer in the United States each year.

"Having too much body fat causes nearly half the cases of endometrial cancer and a third of esophageal cancer cases," researchers said.

Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the US after heart disease. More than 26 percent of Americans are obese and nearly a third of Americans are overweight.

In July, federal and other researchers estimated that obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10 percent of all medical spending in the US or an estimated $147 billion a year.

New Study Suggests that Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol Levels May Help Prevent Cancer!

According to two recent studies, maitaining healthy cholesterol levels can help reduce the risk not only of heart disease but also of cancer.

Dr. Demetrius Albanes, a senior investigator at the US National Cancer Institute explained that higher levels of HDL cholesterol, the "good" kind that protects coronary arteries were associated with a 14 percent lower risk of all cancers over the length of the study.

In addition, statistics on more than 5,500 men enrolled in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial showed that those with total cholesterol levels lower than 200 mg/dL, which is the ideal total cholesterol levels according to the American Heart Association guidelines, had a 59 percent lower risk of developing the most dangerous form of that cancer.

Bios Life and Bios Life Slim are natural supplements clinical proven to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and to increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
