“Obesity and metabolic diseases are strong risk factors for the development and progression of metastatic breast cancers in women who have completed menopause. Breast tumors contain a large number of white blood cells and adipocytes (i.e., fat cells); however, the role of adipocytes in metastatic breast cancer is unknown.”

“Although obesity increases the risk of chronic disease and premature death, especially in those who have type 2 diabetes, exercise may counter some of those risks. However, the time of day a person exercises may influence the extent of risk reduction.”

“The study found that obese people can expect to lose 3 years of life while the average overweight person will die 12 months sooner than they would have if they were a healthy size. This is the largest study to-date on obesity and mortality, data was compiled from 10.6 million people who took part in 239 studies between 1970 and 2015, in 32 different countries.”

“None of the participants taking the vinegar experienced any adverse or ill effects. These findings suggest that apple cider vinegar promotes weight loss and improves metabolic parameters in young people with overweight or obesity.”

“Obesity in mid-forties has been associated with a 74% increased risk of dementia 21 years later.”

“Authors of a recent study detail their findings regarding the effects of avocatin B in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Diet-induced obesity causes insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, in part due to lipotoxicity, although the exact mechanisms are unclear.”

“Their findings reveal that obesity-induced changes to the epigenome -- reversible chemical 'tags' on DNA -- are surprisingly similar in mice and humans, and might provide a new route to prevention and treatment of the disease, which affects hundreds of millions worldwide.”

“One of the mechanisms linking cardiovascular disease, obesity, and dementia is vascular dysfunction, which contributes to blood-brain barrier failure. Learn more about vascular dysfunction in this clip featuring Dr. Axel Montagne.”

“Signals from the foods we consume help regulate eating behaviors, such as whether we should stop or continue eating. A new study has found that obesity diminishes the brain's responses to these signals, and weight loss doesn't correct the problem.”

“The authors recruited 22 males with overweight and obesity who did not have type 2 diabetes to participate in the study. Participants consumed either fish oil (providing 860 milligrams of DHA and 120 milligrams of EPA per day) or a placebo (1 gram of corn oil per day) for 12 weeks.”
