Summer is almost here and most of us are guilty of coming home and directly heading towards the fridge for some cold water as a relief from the scorching heat outside. Even though ice has many health benefits, drinking ice water or cold water can only give temporary relief and drinking ice water regularly has its downside.

THE nation’s teaching hospitals may experience another round of industrial crisis anytime from now if resident doctors carry out their threat to resume their suspended strike. They are planning to down tools again over the alleged failure of the Federal Government to fulfill the terms of the agreement it entered into with them. The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has ordered its members to withdraw their services from the 25 tertiary medical facilities across the country. Its President, Dr. Muhammed Adamu Askira, explained that the decision to embark on another round of strike was reached at the end of their national executive council meeting held between July 25 and 30 in Keffi, Nasarawa State.

New research links alcohol with seven types of cancer. Writing in the journal Addiction, researchers at the University of Otago in New Zealand say alcohol has a causal association with cancer of the oropharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver, colon, rectum and female breast. While there has been evidence of an association between alcohol and cancer, the study claims it is causal, meaning it “directly causes cancer.” The study was large, taking into account 10 years of global data collected by groups such as the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The risk of cancer from alcohol is largest among heavy drinkers, but affects both light and moderate drinkers as well. According to the study, alcohol was responsible for 5.8 percent of all cancer deaths in 2012. "We know that nine in 10 people aren't aware of the link between alcohol and cancer," Jana Witt of Cancer Research UK, ...
