Patients at risk as hospital and care home inspections are cut
Hospitals and care homes are only being inspected every two years, putting patients and residents at risk, because the safety watchdog's priorities are distorted, a report by the Health Select Committee warns today. The Care Quality Commission inspected 70 per cent fewer hospitals, clinics and care homes in the six months from October 2010 than in the previous six months as it directed resources towards a new registration scheme instead.

Spicing up broccoli ?can fight off cancer?
Spicing up broccoli with horseradish or wasabi can enhance the vegetable?s cancer-fighting properties, according to researchers. Scientists say overcooking broccoli instead of lightly steaming it affects its cancer-fighting properties, but these can be revived by adding horseradish or the spicy Japanese equivalent, both of which contain the enzyme myrosinase.

The Brazilian that could cause cancer
The Brazilian blow-dry is the hairstyle that's turning heads worldwide. But few women in Britain realise it has also sparked a major health scare. While governments around the globe have sounded alarm bells over the treatment, in Britain the authorities' response has been lukewarm at best.
