People aiming to lower their cholesterol should turn
to honey as well as fruit and veg, scientists say.

Aids drugs: 'there is no alternative'
African states have no option but to try to provide anti-HIV
drugs for infected patients, despite the cost, insists one expert.
Speaking on the BBC World Service programme 'Health Matters,' Professor
Charles Gilks, a senior adviser to the World Health Organisation (WHO),
said that using drugs was the only way forward.
The WHO's own target is for three million patients worldwide on antiretrovirals
by 2005.
He told the programme: "Antiretrovirals, three drug treatment, is
the only thing that will really impact
on survival."
