Over the past couple of days, the national media has reported on Public Health England’s (PHE) upcoming campaign on calories. Much of the coverage suggests PHE is changing the guidelines on how many calories people should consume in a day. This is incorrect. Below are the facts about calorie guidelines and the campaign.
This study essentially shows very little difference between cyclists, swimmers and runners in terms of sexual or urinary dysfunction.
It provides no evidence that cyclists are at risk of sexual or urinary dysfunction – but because of the study's design, it can't definitely exclude the possibility there's a link either.
Researchers found that people with better fitness levels (measured using an exercise test) were likely to have lower levels of inflammation and smaller waists, even if they were overweight or obese.
The study generally shows that lifestyle weight management programmes can help obese people lose weight and improve their diabetes control. However, it highlights a "real world" problem of how many people would be willing to stick to the rules of the programme.

The study provides evidence to back current recommendations that people at risk of heart disease benefit from taking statins.
But it doesn't provide evidence that younger people should take them (as some papers reported) as everyone in the study was over the age of 45.
The study found the dietary changes were equally good at reducing symptoms as PPIs. This suggests dietary changes could be a first option to try for reflux symptoms, which may avoid the need for some people to take PPIs.
However, drug-free treatment may not be suitable for everyone (for example people whose symptoms are linked with stomach irritation or ulcers). Also, completely changing your diet can be complex and nutritional guidance may be needed.
