Cancer Warning Over 'Alarming' Obesity Levels

Almost 700,000 more people could develop cancer in the next 20 years because they are overweight or obese. The warning comes from Cancer Research UK - and the charity says immediate action is needed to tackle Britain's "alarming" obesity levels. Ten types of cancer are linked to obesity: cancer of the bowel, breast in older women, gallbladder, liver, kidney, womb, pancreatic, oesophageal, and aggressive forms of ovarian and prostate cancer.
