Excess body fat increases cancer risk:

<Excess body fat appears to be the culprit. Bray calls fat cells "hormone pumps," which produce higher levels of insulin and excess estrogen, both contributing to accelerated cell division and replication.

Recent research suggests that the more cells duplicate, the higher the chance that something can go wrong in the cell and a cancer cell is born. Then these additional hormones lead to the rapid reproduction of the cancer cells.

Also, fat cells can keep carcinogens -- cancer-causing agents -- trapped in the body, which can lead to the development of cancer.>
