Permatan? It could be bronze diabetes
A tan is a badge of honour for those who enjoy a good beach holiday, proof of a relaxing break away from everyday life. But if you go brown even when out of the sun, there could be a more worrying cause. Genetic haemochromatosis - also known as primary iron overload - is a condition that causes the body to retain too much iron from the diet.

Capsule offers hope to diabetes sufferers
A revolutionary treatment for gout could result in a new form of therapy for a range of other medical conditions - such as diabetes and obesity - caused by an imbalance of the body's normal metabolism. The treatment consists of implanting a small plastic capsule under the skin which is loaded with genetically engineered cells taken from the patients themselves. The capsule effectively works as a synthetic organ balancing the body's chemicals and hormones.

Britons are the fattest in Europe
Brits are the fattest in Europe with one in four obese, say scientists. It costs the NHS ?3.5billion a year to treat health problems linked to a couch-potato lifestyle such as diabetes and heart disease. And that figure will rise as people live longer, warned Dr Anne Kouvonen, head of a study into the obesity crisis.

Pill-popper nation: Prescriptions soar as we pick up more than 16 EACH every year

Junk food 'is as addictive as heroin and cigarettes'
Junk food may be as addictive as heroin and tobacco, a study has shown. Obesity researchers found fatty and sugary snacks trigger the same 'pleasure centres' in the brain that drive people into drug addiction - making them binge on unhealthy food. The findings could partly explain the soaring obesity rates in Britain and the success of fast food outlets.
