Those who drink alcohol want to do so safely, but the risks of disease are ever present.
Studies show differing health outcomes and relationships between consumption of alcohol and diseases like cancer, early onset dementia and heart disease.
A new review brings together data from studies worldwide and shows that the impact of alcohol has been underestimated, but that changing drinking habits can reverse and slow down damage.
It shows that the 'no safe level of alcohol' finding does not exclude alcohol from having beneficial effects.

Neurodegenerative movement disorders like Parkinson's disease are currently diagnosed via the patient's clinical symptoms, without biomarkers.
A study of more than 3000 donated brains from brain banks across the world, analysed genetic material and showed misdiagnosis rates of between 10 and 20 percent. 
Researchers hope to use these results to create clinical trials that will improve diagnostic accuracy.
