- BY MARTIN BAGOT

BEER bellies have been identified as a crucial factor in our chances of getting cancer.

A study of 316,000 people revealed how much a smaller waistline and getting enough exercise can cut our risk.

Data from the UK Biobank showed people not meeting World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines on waist circumference are at 11 per cent greater risk, even if that person is physically active.
