SITTING and binge watching more than four hours of television a day could increase the risk of bowel cancer among men, a study has revealed.
The study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, claims men who watch less than an hour of television a day are 35% less likely to develop the disease than peers sitting through more than four hours of programmes.
Researchers, some from Oxford University, found there was a link between developing the disease and sedantry behaviour like watching television.
