Glass of wine a day 'cuts dementia risk'

They found those who drank between two and three units a day (20 to 30ml) were 29 per cent less likely to have started developing dementia by the end of the three-year period than those who were teetotal.

Having diabetes may reduce life expectancy by an average of six years, according to a large study involving researchers in Glasgow.
Diabetes is already known to double the risk of heart attacks and strokes, but the new findings show that people with type 2 diabetes are also at greater risk of dying from several other diseases, including cancer and infection.
