More from the physician/grinch who performed this study:
Dr Miles Fisher, consultant physician at Glasgow Royal Infirmary said: “The image of Santa is of a round, jolly person and it is meant to be one of hilarity but if you have obesity around your tummy, then it is very bad for you.“Before, we thought it was just not good to be overweight but now we know that having fat around your middle is particularly bad.
