If you read the actual study referenced in the article you'll find that 10 of the 17 cancer types which are rising in the young cohorts are obesity-related. Lung cancer is actually down for the younger cohorts. Another interesting find was a rise in anal cancer and Kaposi's sarcomas which are mostly related to HIV infections. |

This would mean that 40% is non-obesity related which seems...kinda high?
The article has this line:
>Bafflingly, many of the new clinic’s young patients are in good shape, exercise regularly and eat healthily.
Is this supported by the study, or a journalistic observation?
