Obesity 'causes more cases of some cancers than smoking'

Obesity 'causes more cases of some cancers than smoking' Obesity now causes more cases of four common cancers in the UK than smoking, according to a charity.

Cancer Research UK says bowel, kidney, ovarian and liver cancers are more likely to have been caused by being overweight than by smoking tobacco.

It says millions are at risk of cancer because of their weight and that obese people outnumber smokers two to one. BBC News - Health
