The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets. But a clinical trial is al

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On
