For God's sake - make your minds up!

Are you as fed up as I am with the almost constant stream of contradictory reports on health matters? I've mentioned before how the advice on taking aspirin has changed almost annually  - first it was good for you, then it was bad for you, then it was good for you again, and so on and so on.  The latest example is the extent to which getting cancer is a matter of luck, or lifestyle.  Earlier this year a report from a reputable American university stated that around two out of every three cancers come about as a result of chance cell mutations that you can't do anything about. But then comes along a report from another reputable American university saying that nine out of ten cancers are a result of the way we live our lives - what we eat and drink, whether we smoke, whether we sunbathe, the quality of the air we breathe and so on.  I don't know about you, but I find the whole business enormously confusing and not a little stressful!
