As much as I love to share stories and jokes with you, I'm going to cut right to the chase today. Because this is IMPORTANT... You really need to read this amazing piece about how and why our western diet is causing the cases of prostate cancer to skyrocket. It reveals why Asian countries don't have the same rates of prostate disease... and suggests that it could come down to one simple difference in our diet. I've got kind permission to rep ..

They say that impotence affects one in ten men in the UK. This is a shockingly high figure…. 23 million sufferers… but it gets worse when you think about it. Because surely this also affects women? I mean, shall we say, “It takes two to tango”. Considering it's such a huge health problem, I was surprised to check back over my old Good Life Letters and see that I hadn't dedicated one to this issue. So I thought I'd cover almost every angle o ..

There's no nonsense today. No silly jokes or strange stories. (Big 'aaahhhhhhhh' from the crowd.) Instead, I'm going to get straight down to business and deal with my evergrowing email inbox. As you know, I can't give out one-to-one advice, but I can certainly publish my findings in these letters. So here goes… --------------------------- The fuss over pomegranates --------------------------- One Good Lifer write: “Can you please tell me ..

You can take the purple one for being too fat, the green one for being too thin, the red one for lacking energy in bed, and the yellow one for jumpy legs. Yes, they're synthetic. Yes, they're expensive. And yes they have sideeffects. But we all have many awful disease ..

You might think it's only ladies who shout 'YES! YES! YES!' when they experience a new hair product in the shower... But at 9.40 a.m. on September 10th I did exactly the same thing in a crowded cafe in Bristol. All right, not EXACTLY the same thing. I wasn't washing my hair, I was reading a paper. But when I came across the information I'm about to share with you now, I let out an embarrassing whoop... ------------------------------ The kind ..

I was shocked when I found out... Could it be that prostate cancer will be the most common cause of cancerrelated death by 2010? You'd think there would be more of brouhaha in the press about this... that The Daily Mail would be screaming: WARNING TO ALL MEN! DANGER! EPIDEMIC AHEAD! PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY! But strangely, the papers will go on and on about obesity and other big news stories... like Kate Moss' social life... but not the bigges ..

I don't know if this is a sign of things to come... But I've been staring blankly at the screen for the past hour trying to get today's letter started. Lara's even hoovered round me like I'm a piece of old furniture. 'Maybe you should just take me to the junk shop down the road,' I said, 'You might get a fiver for me.' 'Yes,' she agreed, 'but that's only because you have £4.50 in your pocket.' Anyway, to kickstart my brain, I've just followe ..

'That's right,' boomed the voice in the cloud, 'one day, you shall take it upon yourself to write One day, the young Ray Collins was ambling home from another boring day at school. Suddenly, the clouds parted, and a booming voice said to him. 'Ray Collins?' 'Yes,' squeaked the frightened child. 'You may not realise this, but a great destiny awaits you, Ray Collins. For one day your name shall be known by thousands of people across the kingdom ..
