                Studies have shown that, out of many, women who are overweight are more likely to have reoccurring breast cancer than others.  Women, who are not insanely overweight, have died from this epidemic more than most other, less over weight, women.  Many women were tested, having almost every element (normal heart, kidney, liver, and bone marrow function) the same except for their weight.  The heavier women showed more result leaning toward breast cancer.  Dr. Joseph Sparano of the Albert Einstein College stated, “We found that obesity at diagnosis of breast cancer is associated with about a 30 percent higher risk of recurrence and a nearly 50 percent higher risk of death despite optimal treatment.”

                This article, written by Alexandria Sifferlin, does a good job of supporting its main idea.  Sifferlin brings up statistics and other resources to support her evidence.  The article is not boringly long, but states what is necessary.  The message is a cautionary one, to save the lives of women who potentially face this threat.  The article is nice and not biased; it has plenty of support for the length of it over all.  Sifferlin even has quotes from a doctor regarding the touchy subject.  The article is very interesting as it discusses the issue of obesity and its connection to breast cancer.
