Description

Headlines this week claim that 'thousands of patients die in hospital of thirst' but did the authors of the study actually analyse hydration?

Mark Porter investigates the evidence for using Baclofen to treat alcoholism and hears how it helped a listener to stop drinking 6-8 bottles of wine a day.

Why did NICE question the use of Paracetamol - the UK's favourite painkiller - in the treatment of osteoarthritis?

And are saturated fats really bad for us?
