Man, 45, stabbed his art teacher wife to death while their 11-year-old son slept upstairs after taking 'methadone' he bought off the dark web and downing brandy, court hears.

Strictly star Anton Du Beke holds back tears as he reveals he was stabbed by his alcoholic father one Boxing Day and spent three days in hospital following shock attack - as he opens up about childhood abuse for the first time.If your diet otherwise consists mainly of real foods, you can enjoy a little sweetener, whether it's artificial or not.

So it's a good idea to limit your intake to three or four servings a day at most (one packet of sugar substitute in your coffee is one serving one can of diet soda is two). And another reason to tone down your diet soda habit, says Aragon: Scientists at the University of Minnesota found that diet sodas and fake sugars may increase your risk for metabolic syndrome, which results in higher levels of belly fat, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Still, some research indicates that by providing you with the taste of a high-calorie meal without delivering the calories your brain expects, diet foods made with chemicals, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives can actually leave you craving more food, which causes you to overeat. There's no direct link between consuming these sweeteners and gaining weight. Nutritionists debate this topic as vigorously as politicos argue about tax hikes. What's more, dieters who took a high-fat approach needed 25 fewer days to lose 10 pounds than those who used a high-carb approach, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins University-and that was on a diet of 30 percent fat! So go ahead and indulge (in moderation) in fatty foods that are good for your body, including beef (top round and sirloin), pork, eggs (yolks too), and reduced-fat sour cream and cheese. A report in the British Journal of Nutrition found that a MUFA-rich diet helped people lose small amounts of weight and body fat even when they didn't change their calorie intake. You have to include the right fats-primarily monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) like nuts, avocados, and healthy oils-and stay away from processed foods that contain trans fats, such as baked goods. This, of course, isn't an invitation to head over to the nearest fast-food joint. In fact, the Institute of Medicine recommends that fatty foods make up 20 to 35 percent of your total calories.

It's been scientifically proven: Eating fat helps you become slim, says Aragon.
