| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Greg Jenna and good news, Your Dead to Me is back for a new series. Here we go. Yes, we'll explore Emperor Nero's notorious reign with Professor Marybeard and Patton Oswald. I would not want my daughter having the remote control, not alone an empire. We'll dissect the decadent life of Philippe Duke-Dor-Leon with Tom Allen. I've often tried to pretend I'm an aristocrat and being very quickly knocked down. And there'll be so much more with comedians like Olga Koch, Mike Mosniak and Rihalina. I'm excited. You're dead to me, the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Listen first on BBC Sounds. Hello, thank you for listening to this edition of Inside Health. I hope you enjoy it. Coming up today, a pioneering new initiative in schools hoping to change the next generation's |

| 0:48.4 | I'm seeing a society which is becoming increasingly medicalised. There is at the moment an easy |
| 0:53.7 | contract between the population, as it were, and the health |
| 0:58.3 | professionals, that whatever's wrong with people, we will deliver a solution. |
| 1:02.8 | And this is a long-term investment. |

| 1:12.3 | in the hope that in 10, 20, 30 years' time, |
| 1:16.2 | will have people who are more mindful, robust, resilient, |
| 1:21.7 | intelligent around their health. |
| 1:24.2 | And Margaret McCartney and Carl Hennigan are back |
| 1:26.6 | for another insider's view of the world of clinical research, |
| 1:29.8 | this time examining why so few trials translate into real-world benefits for patients. |
| 1:36.0 | But first, breast cancer and a major risk factor that you've probably never heard of, breast density. |
| 1:42.8 | Women who have more glandular and supportive tissue tend to |
| 1:46.0 | have denser breasts, while those with less dense breasts tend to have a higher proportion of fat. |
| 1:51.0 | So it's not about the look or feel, but what they're made up of, something that can only be picked up on x-ray, |

| 2:02.6 | Up until recently, it's a characteristic that's been largely ignored here in the UK, |
| 2:07.0 | but that looks set to change. |
