Green leafy vegetables 'cut diabetes risk'
Eating greens every day such as broccoli, kale, spinach, sprouts and cabbage can reduce your risk of developing the condition by 14 per cent. The vegetables are rich in antioxidants and magnesium, which has been linked to lower levels of diabetes. Experts from the University of Leicester examined six studies and compared people's intake of green leafy vegetables. They found those who consumed more than one serving a day had a lower risk of diabetes than people who barely ate any.

EAT YOUR GREENS TO BEAT DIABETES
EATING plenty of greens can protect against diabetes, claim scientists. A study of 220,000 people found those who ate one and a half extra servings of leafy vegetables daily cut by 14 per cent the risk of developing the condition. Researchers say the key is in high levels of magnesium, essential to the body, in the likes of spinach. Diabetes UK mentioned.

Spinach and cabbage 'may reduce risk of type 2 diabetes'
Eating extra cabbage, broccoli and spinach may reduce the risk of developing type two diabetes, researchers have found. A diet rich in leafy green vegetables was associated with a 14 per cent reduced risk of developing the condition, a study by a team at University of Leicester has found. There are around two million people in Britain with type two diabetes and some do not know they have it. Dr Iain Frame, Director of Research, quoted.

Ketamine is 'magic drug' for depression
A single dose of the drug Ketamine acts like "magic" lifting people out of depression in hours and lasting more than a week, scientists claim. The drug has traditionally been used as an anaesthetic for animals and, in some cases, humans ? but has also established itself as a nightclub favourite in recent years, where it is nicknamed Special K. But studies have found it can treat depression within hours, even when years of alternative treatments have failed.

Babies exposed to pesticides in the womb 'more likely to develop ADHD'
Pregnant women who are exposed to pesticides may be more likely to have hyperactive children. A study found that babies exposed to crop sprays while still in the womb had greater odds of being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder at the age of five. It is feared that the powerful chemicals used to keep fields free of pests damage the developing brain and nervous system.
