4 items found in this section.

1. I am a smoker but I do try and have a healthy diet, so I take regular vitamin supplements. A friend has said this could be dangerous. Surely he is wrong?

3. Can using sunscreens prevent skin cancer?

4. I am expecting my first baby. A friend has told me that she has read that if young babies play with other children they are less likely to get leukaemia. This sounds very strange, is it true?
