- Banning baby milk from food banks is a basically #breastfeeding advocates trying to starve low-income families into submission bit.ly/3r2VxgQ
- I respect the right of anyone to continue masking if they wish, but most of us don't want to, and it's wrong to try to persuade us otherwise by telling lies about covid - or mpox
- Surprising news. Nearly all randomised placebo-controlled trials of multivitamins find no health benefit - but this one finds they improve memory
- A PR firm has just sent me a list of the "best countries to move to, to lose weight", because they have lowest national BMI, and their number one country is Ethiopia
- In a world first, a man who was paralysed after breaking his neck can now walk simply by thinking about it, using a brain-computer interface
- The more we learn about the brain's waste disposal system, the weirder it gets. Latest is that we may be able to activate glymphatic system by looking at certain visual stimuli
- I haven't said STOP PRESS for a while but I said it today when the results for Pfizer's antiviral were released. If these results hold up it is brilliant brilliant news and changes everything bit.ly/3CQHVeT
- Research on how to preserve more organs for transplants could one day be used to save people currently considered dead.
- An Insight I wrote in March about the fact that cancer cases in people under 50 have been rising for three decades, and no one knows why, has just been made free to read bit.ly/3oee4eu
- We're not supposed to eat fat. Not supposed to eat sugar either. Now we can't have sweeteners, according to WHO. bit.ly/3IDSt6n Oh and there is no safe level of booze apparently. What the hell is left?
- This is the most shocking story I have ever written - it's about how babies and mums are STILL being harmed by natural/normal birth ideology - even though they are flouting NHS policy
- I have never got the angst about missed GP appointments. GPs are nearly always running late, so doesn't it just let them catch up? [PS my GP is ace, no GP-bashing please.]
- Most people who die from #cancer are killed by the spreading of secondary tumours, but we know little about this process. New study has found breast cancer spreads in only two or three waves
