Drinking FIVE cups of coffee a day reduces your risk of developing liver cancer by up to 50%

• Drinking one cup of coffee a day lowers your liver cancer risk by 20%
• Two coffee cups reduces your risk of developing the disease by 35%
• Decaffeinated options have a protective effect but to a lesser extent
• Researchers say more research is needed to determine its health effects

Researchers from Southampton and Edinburgh universities examined data from 26 studies involving more than 2.25 million participants.

Compared with people who drank no coffee, those who drank one cup had a 20 per cent lower risk of developing the most common form of primary liver cancer, known as hepatocellular carcinoma, they found.

Results, published in the journal BMJ Open, also found that those who drank two cups had a 35 per cent reduced risk of suffering the disease, while drinking five cups cut their risk in half.

Key gene is identified in hunt for Crohn's cure

Researchers claim new treatment for incurable bowel disease may soon be found

• The discovery raises the prospect of treatment for incurable bowel disorders
• The illnesses, which include Crohn's disease, affects 300,000 in the UK alone
• The study has been hailed as a 'significant step forward'  

A key gene that helps to explain an underlying cause of incurable bowel disorders, which affect around 300,000 people in the UK, has been identified by scientists.

A study found that blocking the effects of the beneficial gene can harm vital parts of the cell and lead to bowel disease.

The findings boost understanding of the cause of these lifelong conditions and could lead to new treatments, scientists say. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4505418/Key-gene-identified-hunt-Crohn-s-cure.html

Could YOU knock years off your looks by going to the face gym?

Personal trainers share the perfect at-home session for you to try

• It's Britain's self-proclaimed ‘only face gym,’ found in West London’s Kings Road
• Workout begins with ‘warm-up’ - a mini Pilates ball pressed to the face
• Next comes the ‘cardio’ section, then there's ‘strength training’

It's Britain's self-proclaimed ‘only face gym’, promising ‘fast, effective, natural face-lift solutions’ and insisting customers will look younger after just one visit.

As improbable as it may seem, the theory is that by doing FaceGym’s exercises – a sort of face massage that involves having your face forced into all kinds of funny expressions – blood circulation, cell renewal and collagen production is boosted.

This lifts and tightens the muscles in the face. And experts agree that this is not just futile grimacing. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4502862/Could-knock-years-looks.html

Breast milk... the ‘accidental’ cure for cancer

Scientists find it contains a substance that kills tumour cells

• Breast milk contains a substance nicknamed Hamlet that can kill tumour cells  
• The substance in the milk can home in on the bad cells without killing good cells
• Patients injected with Hamlet could start shedding dead cells within days

Breast milk is being used to fight cancer after scientists accidentally discovered it contains a substance that kills tumour cells.

Trials in patients with bladder cancer have already yielded promising results and researchers believe the compound breast milk contains – nicknamed Hamlet – will also help tackle bowel cancer and cervical cancer.

They also say it homes in on cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed – so it has none of the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy. Read more:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4503772/Breast-milk-accidental-cure-cancer.html
