Does Coffee Cause Cancer? - And...

Dr. Christopher Labos

In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions: Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat? Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label? Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox? Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol? Should I be taking vitamin D?

Green Lewisham - Our treasured...

Candy Blackham

In Green Lewisham we are invited to explore the surprisingly numerous green spaces in the Borough of Lewisham in south east London. Rivers, trees, grassy glades and wildlife are round almost every corner, hidden between houses and alongside railway lines and all lying less than ten miles from Trafalgar Square in central London. We have a brief history behind the many calming and natural sites and the photographs tempt us to go walking every day, and at all times of the year, as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of the autumn. Discover herons and egrets, swans, and many, many species of birds as well as the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the centuries-old River Ravensbourne and its tributaries, or find stunning views of London from the hilltops. Lewisham is celebrated as the London Borough of Culture in 2022. Candy Blackham has given us a unique book which opens our eyes to appreciating and enjoying the natural, green spaces in this special year.
