What diseases are caused from too much fat?

* Heart disease. Fat can build up in the arteries, narrowing them and making it harder for blood to flow to the heart. This can lead to a heart attack.

* Stroke. Fat can also build up in the arteries that supply blood to the brain. This can cause a stroke.

* Type 2 diabetes. Fat can build up in the cells of the pancreas, preventing them from producing insulin. This can lead to type 2 diabetes.

* Cancer. Fat can increase the risk of some types of cancer, including breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer.

* Osteoarthritis. Fat can put extra strain on the joints, leading to osteoarthritis.

* Fatty liver disease. Too much fat can build up in the liver, causing fatty liver disease.

* Sleep apnea. Fat can accumulate around the neck and airway, causing sleep apnea.
