| 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.

| 1:15.4 | Is it a label that will help millions of women |
| 1:18.0 | or a construct to make it easier to market new drugs? |
| 1:22.1 | Or perhaps a bit of both? |
| 1:24.6 | Depending on what research you read, |
| 1:27.0 | what sex means, what desire means varies quite dramatically. |
| 1:31.7 | So I'm often confused, actually, because if you look at the evidence, it's not actually |
| 1:37.0 | always clear what it means at all. But I think in lay terms, what it's usually talking about |
| 1:43.3 | is that you don't really desire sex in any way, shape or form. |
| 1:47.6 | But we start with sugar and calls from the British Medical Association for a 20% tax on sugary drinks, |
| 1:55.2 | with the revenue being used to subsidise healthier foods. |
