"Next to smoking, obesity is the second leading preventable risk factor for cancer, but increasing rates of obesity and overweight are estimated to overtake smoking as the leading preventable cancer risk factor. Few research studies have investigated the dysregulated endocrine metabolism of dietary phosphate as a potential mediating factor in the association of obesity with cancer. Phosphate toxicity, the accumulation of excess phosphate in the body from dysregulated phosphate metabolism, is associated with tumorigenesis. High levels of hormones that regulate phosphate metabolism, such as parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor 23, are also associated with obesity, providing a potential link between obesity and phosphate toxicity. Increased dietary intake of inorganic phosphate is linked to excessive consumption of foods processed with phosphate additives, and consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with an increase in the incidence of obesity. Sugar-sweetened beverages provide the single largest source of sugar and energy intake in the U.S. population, and colas containing phosphoric acid are associated with tumorigenesis, suggesting another potential connection between obesity and cancer. Furthermore, dietary phosphate is positively correlated with increases in obesity, central obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The present perspective article proposes that dysregulated dietary phosphate potentially mediates the association of obesity with cancer."

"In conclusion, the evidence presented in this paper supports an endocrine pathway in which dysregulated dietary phosphate potentially mediates the association of obesity with cancer. Excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods and other foods high in phosphate in obesity increase the intake of inorganic phosphate, phosphoric acid, and other phosphate additives, leading to dysregulated dietary phosphate. In turn, dysregulated dietary phosphate and phosphate toxicity are associated with tumorigenesis. Further studies should investigate the involvement of dysregulated dietary phosphate and impaired kidney function in obesity-related cancers."

Grains especially wheat are full of phosphouous and when combined with oxygen if i am not mistaken they become phosphates. This is one of the reason why I stopped consuming wheat and most grains.

On separate cigarettes are not bad, what is bad is what the companies put in the tobacco. My grandpa smoked 76 ciggarrets a day and lived to 93, could have lived longer but to explain that would be a big story. Let's put it this way he wanted to live independently and until the day he died he lived in his own home. George Burns is another individuals that prove that tobacco is not bad, he smoked handmade cigars minus the chemicals.
