The truth about getting the baby out...
Article Abstract:
The ventouse cap, a suction device for delivering babies in cases where labour has been lengthy and the baby may be suffering distress, has only become popular relatively recently in the UK. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists believes that this should now be the main choice for assisted deliveries, as it has been shown to have advantages over forceps. Research indicates that both forceps and the ventouse caps have similar effects on the baby. A ventouse cap is safe, with complications being rare, but must only be used by doctors who have received appropriate training.

The truth about Weight Watchers
Article Abstract:
Most nutritionists feel that Weight Watchers, which claims it has assisted 25 million people in losing weight since it was founded in the late 1960s, gives sensible advice and is more reputable than many other organisations which claim to give help with slimming. It sets a realistic goal for each slimmer, and its diet now emphasises increased consumption of fruit and vegetables and lower consumption of saturated fat. It seems to help many people with weight loss, at least on a short term basis. However, some observers feel that its methods can make people obsessed with food.

The truth about vasectomy
Article Abstract:
Around 90,000 British men have a vasectomy every year, and this is becoming a very popular form of birth control, despite reports linking it with cardiovascular disease and cancer. Vasectomy is a very safe operation, and is a very effective form of contraception. It is generally believed to have no long-term side-effects, but some experts point out that little research has been undertaken into the impact of vasectomy on the reproductive tract, especially the testicles. In some men, vasectomy can lead to chronic discomfort and testicular pain.
