Ivf, breast cancer, waistlines and mortaliy

A study of over 25,000 women suggests that fertility treatment doesn't increase the risk of breast cancer.

Waistlines and mortality.

A study of more than 350,00 people suggest that women with a waistline of 100cm(39in) and men with a waistline of 120cm(47in) respectively, were twice as likely to die prematurely as those with waistlines of 65cm(25in) and 31in(80cm).

Researchers believe that excess fat releases hormones and compounds that increase the risk of cancer and heart conditions.

I think I might stick to quiches and weight watchers in future
