As a medical school professor, I've taught cancer biology for years. But this study from City of Hope just rewrote the textbook on WHY obesity causes cancer.

It's not just inflammation or hormones.

When you gain weight, your organs physically grow -- your liver expands 12% for every 5 BMI points. Kidneys 9%. Pancreas 7%.

The critical finding: over 60% of that growth is NEW CELLS,... https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260324179187/en/New-City-of-Hope-and-TGen-Study-Uncovers-Mechanism-Explaining-How-Obesity-Increases-Cancer-Risk

🧬 Mother's obesity rewires baby's liver cells before birth!

New study shows how maternal weight affects children's healthβ€”even with healthy diets.

60% of offspring develop fatty liver disease due to cellular "reprogramming."

Weight loss before pregnancy reduces risks.

Maternal Obesity Reprograms Fetal Liver Cells, 60% of Offspring Develop Fatty Liver Despite Healthy Diets - Karmactive

University of Bonn researchers identified how maternal obesity alters embryonic liver cells, causing 60% of offspring to develop fatty liver disease despite healthy diets. Scientists located the exact molecular switch responsible.
