This new study hit recently, and you’ll soon see why it has been called a “paradox” when you see the results.  We know that obesity and all the health problems that go along with it are often linked to different kinds of cancer.  One of those cancers is the male cancer that evolves from deterioration of prostate health, a vital gland in the male body that can be greatly affected by testosterone levels. 

The paradox, though, is that statistically more obese men die of prostate cancer, but less obese men are actually diagnosed with prostate cancer when compared to their normal-weight counterparts.  The seeming paradox though, may not really be a paradox at all. 

Instead, it may be a more logical explanation.  The researchers who discovered this are thinking (as am I), that it actually can be explained by the fact that prostate cancer is less easily detected in obese men, so this would explain a higher mortality rate from prostate cancer, linking it to later diagnosis and treatment. 

I think that makes more sense, especially since many times, obesity leads to issues with prostate health in the first place.  So much for the paradox!  See, it ALWAYS pays to stay healthy, slim and fit and pay attention to the pivotal issues of men’s health.
