Most of us are probably tempted by a can of Coke every now and again, though we all know it’s not exactly good for our bodies. But do you know how much sugar there actually is inside that can? Hint: it’s enough to give you diabetes.A  recent study by Public Health Liverpool noted that there is around 54g of sugar in a 500ml bottle of coke, or to put it another way, that’s a whopping 13.5 sugar cubes. With numbers like that it’s no wonder the fizzy stuff is bad for us, and researchers at Cambridge University confirmed that Coke, as well as other sugar drinks, significantly increase our risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In fact, the study found that cutting out just one such sugary drink each day can reduce your risk of developing the disease by 25%. With around 3 million people suffering from type 2 diabetes in Britain alone, with that figure estimated to rise to 5 million by 2025, it’s safe to say it is a problem in need of attention. Earlier this year George Osborne ...

This is Haji, an 80 year old Iranian who claims cleanliness makes him sick so has not had a face wash in over sixty years. While most of us like to stay clean by washing, brushing our teeth and doing other hygienic things there is one man who hasn`t washed nearly all his life, meet Haji. Haji currently lives in isolation in Dejgah village, in Southern Iran. Whether being in isolation is of his own choosing or whether it`s because of the unbearable smell we are uncertain. Because of the lack of a face wash for so many years his skin has become the color of Earth. In fact it has become a kind of camouflage making him difficult to spot at a distance. His entire self maintenance is extremely bizarre to the likes of you and me but to Haji it`s normal. For example when he needs a hair cut or a shave Haji prefers to burn his hair rather than cut it. If you think that is strange enough then listen to his peculiar eating habits. Haji doesn`t like fresh meat or water. He ...

Romelu Lukaku says there is "no doubt" that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will remain on as Manchester United manager going forward.

With that achievement, Solskajer has all but solidified his status going forward, with Lukaku saying he's completely confident the boss will stay on. "I know he's going to stay.

Manchester United made Champions League history as Marcus Rashford's last-gasp penalty secured a 3-1 win away to Paris Saint-Germain, sending the English side through on away goals after a 2-0 loss in the first leg. No side had ever progressed in a knockout match in Europe's elite competition after losing a home first leg by two or more goals, but United did the unthinkable, Rashford adding to Romelu Lukaku's brace after VAR drama. Although PSG controlled the first half, seeing 76 per cent of the ball, Thilo Kehrer and Gianluigi Buffon were guilty of gifting the in-form Lukaku two goals either side of Juan Bernat's equaliser, meaning United led at the break. PSG looked as though they had done enough, but with the use of technology, Presnel Kimpembe was penalised for handball and Rashford emphatically dispatched the opportunity, seeing the Ligue 1 team eliminated at the last-16 stage for a third year in succession.

He explained: ‘I’d been researching alternative medicines when I read about drinking aged urine. I’ve always been open-minded about that sort of thing, so I decided to give it a go and drink it fresh. ‘It tasted a bit like a bitter ale initially, it was quite strong but not a terrible taste and I had no problem finishing the glass. ‘It was about half an hour later that I started to feel amazing, I was absolutely bursting with energy. Now I’d never go a day without it and would recommend it to anyone.’ Fabian first started researching alternative medicines and holistic therapies in 2013, when he kept experien...
