  2. 'Goat-free roads made me speed'
  3. Mandarins 'cut liver cancer risk'
  4. ...

Oh, I'd have thought it obvious - because it's 'natural'.

It's like the recent pomegranate juice thing. I wonder how many older men are now drinking lots of PJ because of the supposed risk reduction of prostate cancer. I wonder how much pomegranate production has been increased.

The Tesco brand pomegranate juice is absolutely awful. But the "Pomegreat" juice is really quite nice - especially with white wine. Not that having prostate cancer has ever been a worry of mine, though ;)
