Cancer Cell Growth and Obesity
Thought this was an interesting look from a different angle. We know obesity increases risk of breast cancer and recurrence. Diets high in saturated fat also seem to increase risk of breast cancer. This study found that cancer cells grew faster in obese mice than in normal weight mice when fed the same diet.
