Statins 'do not work' for half of people prescribed them, study reports

April 16th 2019
"Statins are not effective at lowering cholesterol levels for half of patients," the Daily Mirror reports. Statins are a widely used and well established medicine for lowering cholesterol.

Dietary supplements 'do not help improve health outcomes'

April 9th 2019
"Taking vitamin supplements does not help you live longer but may actually cause you harm, study suggests," reports the Sun.

Does eating a few squares of dark chocolate a day improve blood pressure?

April 3rd 2019
"Eating a few squares of dark chocolate every day 'improves your blood pressure in just one month'," is the overoptimistic headline in the Mail Online. Unfortunately for chocoholics, the study involved just 30 people, so the results are not particularly robust. And all 30 were young healthy adults, so we do not know whether there would be any benefit for older people with a confirmed diagnosis of high blood pressure.

April 2nd 2019
"The sharp increase in the use of e-cigarettes has not led more British children to take up cigarettes or regard smoking as normal," The Guardian reports. There's been some concern about the popularity of e-cigarettes among young people, and whether it could increase the number of teen smokers by making smoking seem more socially acceptable.
