(prHWY.com) May 22, 2012 - Myrtle Beach, SC -- Obesity in our country, and particularly in our state of South Carolina, is not only reaching an epidemic level but is piercing and creeping into (and destroying) our forming offspring from a very young age. America is overweight. Millions of Americans are fighting the "battle of the bulge."
The economic cost of obesity related illnesses were estimated at more than $200 billion! There is a direct correlation between obesity and disease risk: Adipose tissue (fat tissue) is a major site of estrogen synthesis in women. Scientists link a BMI of 28 to 30 with an increase in cancer risk. Obesity leads to elevated levels of estrogen. High unbalanced estrogen level increases cancer risk. Excess estrogen is also linked with reproductive system diseases including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, osteoarthritis, cancer, sleep apnea, abdominal hernias, varicose veins, gout, gall bladder disease, respiratory problems and liver malfunction.
