I understand that obesity is one of the highest risk factors of developing colorectal cancer, but I don’t understand why. I’ve researched a little and can’t find an answer.
Thanks for the contributions! More detail can be added though, I’m a nursing student, so no need to be super basic! Thanks

I have a theory that if we can inhibit the absorption of sugar (absorbed by fascilitated diffusion), fats, and/or proteins in the small intestine, we could control people’s weights. The stomach would still get its ~15%, while the small intestine would get considerably less than its normal rate.

I thought of this while in physiology class. But it is true, we all like to eat. America could get in shape, eat great (not necessarily heathfully), and people would get rich! Sure, some like to argue that some people in the world are starving. But if we can get it, why not!? It will be produced!! We could eat a half pint of ice cream after eating a nice steak. To wash it down would be some delicious, very full-bodied beer. People would not even have to go crazy, just eat what they like to now..double portions and all. I hate eating 200-250 calories four to five times per day just to maintain a weight of 130 pounds! I can’t even think about a decent serving of ice cream or chocol
And rememer, this would just be really cool because it could surely control obesity. Some people have too much trouble controlling what they eat, but with this people won’t have to worry so much and we wouldn’t have countried full of obesity.

I feel the need of cleansing my colon. Reason: Chronic constipation, indigestion since last few months, obesity, heavy-feeling on waist-stomach part, slight pain in part above bowel-passing area which makes me feel as if my colon is not okay and may require some cleansing.

I exercise occassionally. I m generally a stressed out person with something piling on my personality – emotional stress or physical or job stress.

While browing thru net, I have come accross a product known as COLONIX. Pls refer to website below.

http://www.drnatura.com/colonix_program.php

I need to know if this product can be safe to us.

Or, pls suggest me some "Natural way of cleansing colon" without having to take some medication.

I want to be healthy but in a natural way. I eat lot of fruits, green veggies and normal meals. I am fond of drinking milk-tea and put two-three spoons in it each time (I drink upto 4 cups daily). I like to eat McDonalds and some junk food like chips/chocolates/cookies/cakes. But I m not addicted to these and eat these 2-3 times in a week.

But I want to know if anyone of you have ever gone thru colon cleansing and felt better. Or if you have not gone thru colon cleansing and still feel better.

All answers are welcome!

Thanks for reading and answering my query!

Also, does obesity dramatically increase the chances of a teen getting stomach and/or colorectal cancer?
