<p>We enjoyed reading Dr Keith Harding’s article on the value of moist dressings for chronic wounds (CONSULTANT, March 2012, page 214), but we feel that some of his comments do not give the full spectrum of challenges one may encounter with a wound of this type. His article implies that chronic wounds are known for their copious exudate production. To manage these wounds, Dr Harding states that there needs to be a fine balance between controlling the amount of exudates produced from the chronic wound while ensuring a moist environment is maintained over the wound base. This is needed to promote collagen synthesis and granulation tissue.</p>

A flurry of recent reports has supported the health benefits of whole-fat milk. Increased dairy fat has been linked to lower rates of diabetes, and to improved cardiovascular health.
