EXCLUSIVE: Obese British men TWICE as likely to develop bowel cancer due to weight



Cancer is a scary word and thousands of us are affected by the disease every year - be it personally or watching a loved one battle it.

There is a direct link between being obese and having cancer, as a bariatric surgeon exclusively revealed to Express.co.uk. It comes just weeks after the Food Standards Agency revealed toast and chips could bring on cancer.

Professor David Kerrigan is the CEO at Phoenix Health, a weight loss clinic, and explained how being overweight - which is having a body mass index (BMI) of over 30 - can impact upon your life.
