Bananas may offer more than just a good source of fiber, Vitamin C, potassium and other vitamins and minerals . A new study by researchers at the University of Leeds and Newcastle University in the U.K., published on July 26 in the peer-reviewed journal Cancer Prevention Research , suggests that a starch found in green bananas ( as opposed to ripe ones ) and some other foods may potentially help reduce the risk of some cancers . A 20-year trial conducted among 900 patients with Lynch Syndrome (LS), the most common cause of hereditary colorectal (colon) cancer , found that a daily dose of 30 grams of resistant starch for up to four years produced a " protective effect against non–colorectal cancer LS cancers." However, more research is needed to know whether resistant starch can offer the same benefits among the general population, experts told Newsweek. Patients with LS are more likely to get colon cancer and other cancers, and at a younger age (before 50) … [Read more...] about Experts discuss how a Banana a day can keep cancer away

Tommy Lee has inadvertently started a debate about Instagram 's censorship rules after he posted a picture of his penis on his account—which remained on the site for more than four hours. In the early hours of Thursday morning, Mötley Crüe drummer Lee posted a full body shot of himself which included his genitals, and the rocker quickly became a trending topic across social media. While many expressed shock at the picture, others were quick to point out that female bodies are often removed by Instagram, with many sharing their own experiences of censorship. At the time of writing, Lee's Instagram post was still live, alongside the caption "Ooooopppsss." Lee also posted two other pictures around the same time that alluded to phallic themes.

Right to Roamers are on the march again, with a group of more than 100 Morris dancers and ramblers dressed as sheep invading the Englefield estate in Berkshire last weekend. The protesters were calling for more of the countryside to be made open to the public and claim only eight per cent of land in England is accessible to all of us. It's true that half of England is owned by less than one per cent of its population — 30 per cent owned by the aristocracy, but around 70 per cent is land either owned or rented by farmers who are not necessarily wealthy or posh. They are people who view the countryside not as a leisure activity but as a working environment. Jenni Murray writes that she once found a couple canoodling in our garden as she discusses Right to Roam campaigners I have some experience of the battle between those who own their land and those who feel it's desperately unfair that they can't trudge all over it. On the one hand, I have great sympathy for those who … [Read more...] about ‘Day I caught a couple of strangers getting frisky in my garden’, writes JENNI MURRAY

As a teenager, Olivia Newton-John had no dreams of stardom. Hollywood, Grammy Awards and celebrity were not in her vision for her future. She wanted a husband, children and “the picket fence”, she once said. “I always wanted that.” Yet from the moment her mother dragged her to an audition of Johnny O’Keefe’s talent show S ing, Sing, Sing in the early 1960s, stardom rather than domesticity would shape Newton-John’s life. And not always for the better.

LIFE Forget watching Grease, Xanadu was the perfect Olivia Newton John movie. OPINION: This week, you’re going to see a lot of pictures of Olivia Newton-John as Sandy from Grease as you scroll through your socials. Newton-John, 73, died on Tuesday after a decades long battle with breast cancer , and that role is probably her most famous – and if you loved that film, fair play, there are some bangers on that soundtrack. But if you really want to remember Newton-John at her most glorious, her most radiant, then forget that 50s pastiche with its grubby innuendo and awkward sexual politics – watch Xanadu instead. Now, there’s a chance you might never even have heard of this film. It’s been all but forgotten since it came out in 1980 – mostly because in no world could it be considered a good film. But don’t let that put you off. READ MORE: Ponies, Barbie and Grease: All the things I prayed for in the 80s Surprise!
