A new Australian study has found that obese people are “six times more likely to develop esophageal cancer than people with healthy weight.”
The researchers looked at 800 people with esophageal cancer and compared them to 1600 people who did not suffer from the disease.
Even when the researchers ruled out contributing factors to esophageal cancer such as heavy drinking and smoking, obesity was still found to be a major contributing factor for esophageal cancer risk.
