Your love handles are going to kill you. End of story. But if you want to know more...
Carrying extra fat around your middle dramatically increases your risk of early death, even if your overall weight is normal, say researchers.
A study of almost 360,000 people from nine European countries found waist size a "powerful indicator" of risk.
Each extra 2ins (5cm) raised the chance of early death by between 13% and 17%.
Ugh. We're hard-pressed to get rid of our gut. This just makes us want to throw in the towel and eat a double bacon cheeseburger. With mayo.
