Is it the weight? Or the habits that we do to lose weight?

We\\u2019re told all the time - to lose weight and our risk of health-related disease will go down. I\\u2019m guilty of this as well. My health journey started as a way of trying to avoid following in my mother\\u2019s footsteps and getting breast cancer.

But the data is misleading.
