Maybe we should call a truce in the War on Cancer and concentrate on prevention. Besides smoking, the most preventable cause of cancer seems to be obesity. It is generally thought that obesity may account for about a third of many cancer types, particularly breast, colon, uterus, kidney and esophagus. Obesity is a risk factor for type II diabetes and these patients are not only more likely to get cancer, but to have poor outcomes. Other speakers will explore the relationship of obesity and cancer, the epidemiology and the science, and see if this lends support to any practical prevention measures.""-Gary Abrass, MD

This article says that obesity is becoming second only to smoking as a cause of cancer. I think smoking and obesity should be fairly amenable to modification, and likely very worthwhile to do that for the individual and the society.
Thinking about the thread about low carb, one thing jumps out-it is easy to find embarrassing pictures of low carb gurus looking fat. However, when studies are done, it seems like low carb diets are more effective and helping people lose weight, and keep a fair amount of it off.
IMO, there is absolutely no doubt that almost any diet that reduces amount eaten will cause weight loss. Opening your eyes in any third world country that is still poor will demonstrate that. But will that work for people in advanced countries who will always be able to get plenty calories unless something very large happens to mess up our food system? I strongly doubt it, becasie it will take too much will power for most people day to day.
