Certain types of cancer are related to obesity and bad dietary habits such as consumption of saturated fat! The foods that play a role inhibiting cancer growth includes: antioxidants, certain phytochemicals, dietary fibers, and earotenoids (found in lots of food).
The antioxidants, vitamin E and vitamin C help prevent formation of nitro amines in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore they prevent formation of potent carcinogens also help prevent alteration of DNA.
You can't blame your genes but you may and rightfully so blame environmental factors. Most of the time it is much easier to blame other people or other factors for our misfortunes in life than accepting responsibility and we all tend to do so frequently. But the fact is this is not going to change your situation or make you healthy. Obesity devastates your health and your life and is very serious.
If you are an overweight male, your risk of developing prostate cancer is much higher. If you are an overweight female your chances of developing ovarian and uterine cancer increases over that of thin women, and your risk of developing breast cancer increases even more.
Fat also plays a major role in development of clogged arteries.
While you cannot change your genetic make up, you can lower your risk by practicing healthy habits. Environmental factors and habits play major rules in the development of obesity in adults, adolescents and children.
