That attack renewed calls from some that American Staffordshire Terriers should be banned from our communities outright, but is it the breed that is to blame, or might the training and socialisation of individual dogs be the key to reducing aggression?

It's estimated that 500,000 Aussies are currently walking around with type 2 diabetes, and don't know it. Outdated stereotypes about who is most at risk from this condition are partly to blame, as it's easy to assume if we feel fit and healthy that we are ok.

Like many mental health conditions, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, better known as ADHD, is poorly understood and riddled with stereotypes, making it difficult for girls and women in particular to receive a diagnosis.
