On this week's Bodytalk we took a look at the topical health issues of the week, these included;

New research showing that people with flu could be more likely to suffer from heart attacks. 
Smoking bans in Europe and North America have dramatically reduced the number of heart attacks. 
The fact that the NHS stop smoking service may have saved 700,000 lives. 
Vitamin D can improve the survival chances of both skin and bowel cancer patients. 
A new study revealed that older people are the least aware of how to reduce their chances of developing cancer.

We also recapped where you can go on the web for the latest Swine Flu information.
