Eat more slowly or risk diabetes, a new study warns
Fast eaters may have a higher risk of developing the most common form of diabetes, writes Roger Dobson. People who eat food quickly are twice as likely to develop impaired glucose tolerance, known as pre-diabetes, according to a new study. The increase was not seen in people with other eating patterns, including snacking and late-night eating.

Cleared to keep working, the GPs who can?t spot cancer
GPs are missing obvious symptoms of life-threatening illnesses, from cancer to heart disease ? and the medical watchdog is powerless to stop them, a major investigation has revealed. The survey of surgeries nationwide uncovered a number of shocking cases, including a family doctor who advised an undercover patient who listed clear signs of bowel cancer to eat mangoes and pears. Another GP mistook the textbook symptoms of angina, a well-known complaint that greatly increases the odds of having a heart attack, for indigestion.

Prolonged stress 'can shrink the brain'
Suffering stress for long periods of time can shrink the brain and even cause dementia, researchers have claimed. Chemicals released by the body during prolonged stress are toxic to brain tissue, they found. Types of stress linked to the condition include that suffered by those in loveless marriages, dead end jobs and post traumatic situations.

One in 20 nurses expecting sack
One in 20 nurses expects to lose their job in the next 12 months, a shock survey has found.
More than 50 per cent say they are now too busy to provide the level of care they would like. Even more told the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) they work over their contracted hours. They claimed jobs were being cut back, with recruitment freezes leading to ward closures.

Children's packed lunches 'lack fruit and veg'
Parents are failing to put enough fruit and veg into their children's packed lunches, health experts have warned. The School Food Trust, which examined 3,500 packed lunches in England in 2009, says about 40% of lunchboxes do not contain any fruit or vegetables, compared with 10% of school dinners. It said parents should consider switching to school meals. Meanwhile, the World Cancer Research Fund has set up a website to give parents advice on healthier lunchboxes.

Peers and BMA attack Lansley's NHS reforms
Moves to overhaul the National Health Service have suffered a double setback ahead of the return of the controversial plans to Parliament.
