Obesity is a risk factor for a lot of cancers, maybe 33 separate ones? It's also a major risk factor for breast cancer. Black women have the highest rates of obesity and the highest rates of breast cancer

There's a real denial on this sub about the physiology behind obesity. Women may look good, and I have known black women in particular who looked good at an obese BMI, but the 'thick' body is probably as deadly as smoking

But this is because this sub focuses on women as sex objects, with fat acceptance people saying, "She's hot" and then fat phobic people saying "She's ugly". It's childish. Obesity is a major medical problem that shows up in the later years of life. People really should look at it like smoking
