A study done by Cornell in New York, looking at Swedish women who were normal body size or skinny. So you've heard of skinny fat. This is what they were studying. And they looked at these women to see, they did DEXA scans, as you described, to see how much body fat they had. And then they followed them over 13 years. And they actually found that women who did not have extra body fat had, you know, normal risk of breast cancer. But women who had skinny fat, remember all the women in this study, and so 3,000 women, actually were normal body size. Not, I mean, they weren't supermodels, but they were, They were just normal size women. Some of them were slimmer than others, but none of them were obese. None of them were overweight, just normal size. But they knew at the baseline what the DEXA scan showed. And what they found is that women who had excess body fat over the period of 13 years had a threefold increase in the risk of developing breast cancer.
