As a nation, we’re pessimists – poles apart from our friends across the pond who are born optimistic. For better or for worse, we like our doom and gloom.
A large dollop of this collective pessimism currently hangs over the country’s stock market like one of those annoying rain clouds we’ve been constantly skipping over the Easter period.
The doom is such that many investors have given up on British stocks and pulled their money out. A few days ago,
As summer approaches and the sun comes out, we all know the drill: slather on the sunscreen and seek shade at the hottest times of the day to prevent sunburn, wrinkles and, worse, skin cancer. Or is the drill set to change?
For there seems to be a shift in experts’ views on sun exposure as they acknowledge there are benefits to it: because as well as helping our skin make vitamin D, we also now know it improves our
Experts hate to be wrong. When I first started writing about the public’s hostility toward expertise and established knowledge more than a decade ago, I predicted that any number of crises—including a pandemic—might be the moment that snaps the public back to its senses.

From The Terminator to The Day After Tomorrow, movies have envisioned just about every possibility for how the world might end.
If you’re a science fiction movie buff, you might think that some of these apocalyptic scenarios seem a little far-fetched.

It is a scary thought that in 1980, when I went to medical school, only one in every 14 British adults was obese. Now it is close to one in four.
We didn’t see a lot of overweight patients when I was a medical student. These days, the NHS spends millions every year reinforcing beds, building bigger scanners and even designing larger mortuary fridges.
And this is only a fraction of the many billions spent treating and managing diseases caused
