CVD
cancer = colon and breast
joint disorder
sleep apnea
Gall bladder disease
which cancers are not highly correlated with obesity? - Answer prostate and lung cancer
What is cancer? - Answer cell with a series of genetic mutations:
de-differentiates (loss of function)
proliferative (grows uncontrollably --> does not respond to stop signals)
cannot repair DNA
resistant to apoptosis
which 2 hormones promotes cancer? - Answer Insulin
estrogen
How does insulin promote cancer? - Answer stimulates growth of cell + suppresses apoptosis
in colon
decreases SHBG release from liver
How does estrogen promote cancer? - Answer stimulates growth of breast tumors in

Name the 2 joint disorders that come with obesity? - Answer Osteoarthritis
Gout
what is osteoarthritis? - Answer Breakdown of cartilage between joints --> removes the
