Sandbanks, Somerset, where the average home sells for £1.4 million, has been fighting the Fortitudo development company's proposals since 2017 and celebrated last year when flood risk factors were rejected. However, this triumph was short lived, with architect Richard Carr's Fortitudo outputting almost identical plans in May this year, with the buildings now in danger of flooding. The Haven, The Sandbanks Hotel, Harbour Heights, and the Haven are three hotels in the heart of the conflict, with a public bar overlooking Old Harry's Rocks. However, this will be demolished under the developers' scheme, who have designated the Haven Hotel as a site for three blocks of 119 residential apartments.

Not only is there little - if any - medical evidence to back these claims, but drinking hot water and lemon, as well as lemon-infused water can jeopardize your attempts to be healthier. 'Hot water and lemon is consistently mishandled as a cure-all for multiple health problems,' says dentist Hannah Woolnough, a British Dental Association spokesperson. "But what's so troubling is the harm that this habit can do to your teeth,' says the dentist. In some instances, the injury is permanent and cannot be reversed.' I know so many patients who drink water and lemon, but I wish they didn't.' They do it in the false belief that they are choosing a healthier option because that's what they hear.' Professor David Lloyd, a stomach surgeon at Leicester Royal Infirmary, claims that drinking hot water and lemon will 'cleanse' or 'detox' the liver.

They discovered that people who were taking antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), at the time of their surgery and at least a year before, had a greater risk of their implants failing. The 170 patients in the study were taking some of the most commonly prescribed SSRIs in the United Kingdom, including citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and sertraline. Dental implants are dental crown restorations, where a metal screw is embedded in the jaw bone directly, allowing for the installation of a false tooth on top. They are not commonly available on the NHS and can cost thousands of dollars to have them done privately.

Do you ever find yourself scrolling through pictures of cats and dogs thinking, 'It is so cute I could eat it'? Well, it's cute, and it could be damaging to your teeth, according to one dentist. Cute aggression is a form of 'dimorphous words', meaning that your outward behaviour or expressions don't match how you're feeling on the inside. For example, crying out of sheer joy. It can result in 'crunching and biting our jawline closely,' says Dr. Rizwan Mahmood, a London dentist.' This, he said, could result in 'cracking, chipping, and breaking our teeth.' And it could be more straightforward to do dental harm than you think. Mollie May (inset) on Love Island confessed to grinding her teeth so much that one fell out, blaming cuteness.
