According to a report, it is right that life-threatening disorders can be prevented by fertility treatment which creates embryos from two women and one man.

Genetic material from three people is there in children born through ‘three-person IVF’.

Children who are suffering from very severe and debilitating disorders could be freed by using this technique, the UK's Nuffield Council on Bioethics said.

The technique was cited as dangerous and unnecessary by other groups.

Dark chocolate is good for you and this is what scientists say as it can help in keeping heart problems and diabetes away.

It was stated that a comparison between the effectiveness of drugs and chocolates cannot be made but there are no side-effects of dark chocolates whereas drugs have side effects, depending on circumstances.

Scientists took a mathematical model to predict the effects as well as the cost effectiveness of dark chocolates. People were assessed for about 10 years.

The cause of Parkinson's disease will be studied by a Glasgow-based doctor and he is supposed to lead the world's biggest research study into this.

In the UK alone, about 130,000 people are affected by this brain condition.

Dr Donald Grosset, a neurologist at Glasgow University, stated that enhanced ways to figure out the disease and treat it is what he hopes to find.

About 3,000 people are needed for this study and Charity Parkinson's UK is on a look out for people who are suffering from this condition to urge them and their siblings to be a part of this study.

According to new figures, years later the high rates of smoking among women in the ‘Mad Men’ era of the 1960s is showing after effects.

In 2009 the number of women who were diagnosed with lung cancer was 18,000, according to statistics released by Cancer Research UK.

In 1975 about 22 women out of 100,000 people were affected by the disease but now out of 100,000 women about 39 people are affected.

When it comes to high smoking rates and a rise in cancer cases, there exists a time lag of about 20 to 30 years.

Researchers have stated that the risk of obesity and diabetes is high among shift workers because of lack of sleep due to their schedule.

About 21 people were taken for the study by researchers and they controlled their lives that included sleep hours and meals.

It was seen that if normal sleep pattern was changed then the body had to make attempts to keep the sugar levels under control.

Within weeks, symptoms of diabetes were seen in some participants.

Shift work has been associated with a host of health problems.

Your genes might be responsible for your weight. As gluttony gene has been found by scientists that cannot pass the message of being full to the brain.

Rapid weight gain that was due to non-stop eating happened due to mutation on a single gene that broke down communication in the body when it was tested on mice.

In the UK alone, about one out of four adults is obese and the identification of this gene can lead to better treatment for obesity.

The variation in the Bdnf gene in mice was studied by researchers at Georgetown University Medical Centre in the U. S.
