Obesity isn't a cause. Metabolic syndrome usually leads to obesity, and metabolic syndrome is the driver behind cancers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM



They Mayo clinic says obesity (plus inactivity) is either the cause or closely linked. So while we can't say for sure, it seems pretty obvious that people who stop eating over 2k calories a day and get 30+ minutes of high quality exercise, will almost all be "cured".

Wikipedia says bad lifestyle leads to metabolic syndrome which leads to obesity.

Also this thing didn't magically appear post ww2 by magic, at the exact same time as mass lack of exercise and dog shit diets
