Weight gain linked with breast cancer

This story describes a study in which women who gained weight after age 50 had a greatly increased risk of developing breast cancer.

Women who had gained more than 33 pounds since age 20 were similarly at a 60 percent increased risk for postmenopausal disease, but it was the extra pounds put on after 50 that appeared to play a more significant role, study author Marilie D. Gammon said.
