Obesity and Prostate Cancer

Here is an article on prostate cancer and obesity. Basically it says that losing weight may reduce the risk of dying of prostate cancer. Now the researchers don’t have definitive proof that obesity makes you more likely to die of that disease, but some people don’t need definitive proof. I am one of those. I will continue to control my weight because I do not want to die of some weight-related disease. What will others do? I cannot say. But for me a word to the wise is sufficient: losing weight may reduce the risk of dying of prostate cancer. If others choose to ignore that – well, is that wise?
