What people said
It just bumps your odds of early detection a little. And that's only if you go once a year.
Once you're past 40 you should get regular colonoscopies.
Colon cancer is the #1 cancer killer for women, and #2 for men after lung cancer.
Catch polyps early and remove them, and your lifetime colon cancer risk drops massively.
Stool occult blood tests aren't very accurate.
Lol, that got me.
If you can swear off black coffee for good, that wish just might come true.
My dad loved black coffee too. So it's real, huh.
Always put milk in your coffee.
Even the old guys around here only talk about their ailments these days.
The brain is the root cause of everything.
Fix whatever's wrong in the brain and everything else falls into place.
Chiemi Hori, Kuwaman, Ozura, Akira Hokuto — those are the ones that come to mind as pretty overweight.
Before cancer even gets a shot, they're already at death's door from a sudden heart attack or stroke, or slowly dying off from diabetes, high cholesterol, or high uric acid. And on top of that, obesity is also said to raise the risk of several cancers, including colon cancer.
Once you get older, you start hunting for people who'll agree with you.
Political correctness says criticizing body types is a no-go, but come on, it's clearly unhealthy.
Yeah, genetics plays a huge role. Overdoing it can trigger illness in anyone, but when someone gets stones on a regular basis — like Tomizawa's 6th time in 2 years — that's genetics.
Fat people really do call anyone who isn't fat 'skinny as a rail,' huh. Sounds incredibly dumb.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
This episode aired with Takeshi Tomizawa filling in for Mikio Date, who is recovering from a stroke, on TV Tokyo’s health variety show built around full-body-checkup-style segments. The thread’s opinions split over whether full checkups are actually worth getting — some praised their value for early detection, while others were skeptical, arguing that going just once a year doesn’t move the odds much. On the popular belief that “fat people don’t get cancer,” commenters pointed out that other risks like heart disease, diabetes, and high uric acid tend to surface first, and that obesity itself is also said to raise the risk of certain cancers, including colon cancer — so it’s not as simple as the stereotype suggests. Note that the exact illness Tomizawa revealed on the show isn’t specified within the quoted portion of this article; some thread comments are speculation based on his known history of kidney stones, so the official diagnosis should be confirmed via the original article.
