Media invitation: The world we created? : Risking our environment
Scientific and technological advances are, by their very nature, risky. Experimentation is an investigation of the unknown. Without taking risks, some of the things we take for granted in today's society - such as antibiotics or pesticides - would not have been possible. But has a fear of the... view more (2004-04-22)

Higher total alcohol consumption, including beer and spirits, associated with better health
Moderate beer and spirit drinkers may be just as "healthy" as wine drinkers, suggests a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The research shows that alcohol drinkers reported less subjective ill health than non-drinkers. But it was the overall quantity of alcohol... view more (2001-08-14)
