By 2034, it is estimated that poultry will provide 45% of the prote...

Some cancers are increasingly found in younger people.Take colorectal (bowel) cancer: while rates have declined in those over 60, data shows a sharp increase in many developed countries among people under 50, in what’s called early-onset disease.Prof Devi Sridhar is chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh Continue reading...
