Diets laden with pies, sausages, and ready meals can lead to an early death, a major study has shown.
Research involving half a million people highlights links between processed meat and heart disease and cancer. It also shows that people who eat a lot of the meat products have a significantly greater chance of dying prematurely than those consuming low amounts.
High processed meat consumption led to a 72 per cent increased risk of dying from heart disease, and an 11 per cent increased risk of dying from cancer.
Overlooked but full of love.

Anyone?
Will there be music?

A cat responds to the ‘rotating snake’ optical illusion in a way that appears to suggest they can, indeed, perceive ‘movement’ in still images.
If you have a cat, you can download a series of optical illusions here, test them on your cat and provide feedback here in the name of ‘science’.
Cat science. The best kind of science.
