You might be cynical, then, when reading today's Express front page:
Mushrooms have beaten cancer! Imagine that, when human beings have been trying to do it for decades. Along come mushrooms and develop a cure for cancer, right under our noses. Why, those pesky fungi!
However, it's not quite 'beating cancer', as you'll see:
Scientists have revealed the maitake mushroom can shrink tumours by as much as 75 per cent.
That does sound impressive, but that's not 'beating cancer', that's just shrinking tumours, which isn't quite the same thing. Hands up who wants 25% of their tumour still remaining? Anyone... no...?
Still some way to go, then.

Look out tomorrow for "Balsamic Vinegar Eases Economy" and the contentious "Risotto Combats Immigration Farce".
I know laughing should not be the reaction here, but this is. It is like they have attempted some satirical private eye style mock-up front page with fact-defying headlines. But this is real! Ill be shaking my head in silent disgust for the rest of the day...
I believe every word of it and am celebrating with a mushroom omelette and 20 Capstan Full Strength.
I hope there are people who take their health and dietary advice from the Daily Express. It's natural selection.....
Saw this at work today, work in a supermarket so we sell lots of papers, and couldn't help but feel, as I always do, that the people buying this paper were fucking idiots.
Just waiting for the experts to say that a fry up dtops obesity
