Men who are obese by the age of 20 have double of the risk of dying prematurely, new research has found.
The findings are particularly worrying for Britain's youngsters who have been labeled the 'junk food generation', with a third of youngsters aged five to 13 already considered obese.
Scientists tracked more than 5,000 military conscripts starting at the age of 20 until up to the age of 80.
Record numbers of women are being diagnosed with womb cancer because they are having fewer children or none at all, figures suggest.
Rates of the disease have risen by almost 50 per cent in the past 30 years.

You're dating a guy, and the make-out sessions have been so hot, you've practically dry humped holes into each other's jeans. With all that chemistry, the sex has to be off the hook from the start, right? Ehhh.
"Getting intimate with a new person can be clumsy," says Chris Fariello, PhD, director of the Institute for Sex Therapy, in Philadelphia. You aren't completely comfortable with each other yet.

When you've been together for awhile, the sizzle in your relationship can oftentimes reduce to a low simmer. You know that when he touches your upper arm in a specific way, he's trying to initiate sexy time, and that his touch will be followed a certain kiss, which will be followed by a certain grope, which will then be followed by a certain hip thrust. Besides, you're tired. And there's stuff to do. Can't it just wait till another day?
We know kissing as a social pleasantry, the appropriate ending to a date and a means of connecting with our main squeeze.

Swine flu scares and mono aside, kissing actually does a body very, very good.
