Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. It occurs when cancer cells begin to grow in the lining of your uterus (known as the endometrium).

In fact, researchers from the University of Missouri-Columbia recently found that women with the highest cadmium levels had a higher risk for endometrial cancer.
In their five-year observational study that included data from over 1,500 women, these researchers noticed that high cadmium levels were associated with a 23 percent higher endometrial cancer risk.
The study included two groups of women — one group with a history of endometrial cancer and another group without one. And, sure enough, there was a significant difference in the cadmium levels of women who’d never had endometrial cancer and the women who had.
