Overweight men at risk of cancer

MEN are facing a cancer timebomb — simply because too many of them are fat and eat the wrong foods, according to a new survey.

An Irish Cancer Society (ICS) poll of 600 men revealed two-thirds were either overweight or obese, putting them at greater risk of the disease.

Now the ICS is using men's cancer action week, which began yesterday, to persuade the country's two million men to take their weight more seriously.
