Inside Health: Saturated Fats, Moles, Egg Freezing

Saturated Fats, Moles, Egg Freezing

BBC Radio 4 - Inside Health, Saturated Fats, Moles, Egg Freezing

Research into saturated fats, checking moles and success for egg freezing and pregnancy.

Dr Mark Porter presents recent research into saturated fats, advice on checking moles: how to spot the innocent from the sinister, and success rates for egg freezing and pregnancy.

Recent research was widely reported as concluding that 30 year old guidance to limit saturated fats had been overturned and should never have been introduced - and that we can now eat as much butter, cheese, sausages and pies as we like.

But, as ever, the real story is a bit different. Inside Health debates the real evidence and hears from Sweden that rumours of change in its guidance have also been misreported.

As big companies try to attract female employees by offering 'egg freezing' as a corporate carrot, Dr Mark Porter examines the success rates and implications for women wanting to start a family.

And checking your moles - how to tell the difference between the sinister and the innocent.
