This is dealt with in a manner more and more scientific and detailed, it begins to be a major concern in the in our state and Europe (see BE U.S. 68 The diet can reduce the risk of cancer). Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes. According to studies conducted in this area, these pathologies are Sept. 10 million deaths each year worldwide.
