Mobile phone signals + Olive oil and the Mediterranean diet – 105science

Chris Cox from the Cambourne-based, ‘IP access’ explains to Roger Frost how phones talk to radio masts; how signals decrease inside buildings and how femtocells (aka ‘small cells’) can improve signals in places and buildings with a weak signal. (With thanks to ip.access www.ipaccess.com). Following the news that the sponsors of the London Olympic games include a fizzy drink maker; a fast food restaurant and a chocolate brand, we go in search of good advice on diet. We meet Cambridge doctor, Simon Poole who offered his knowledge on healthy food. He talks about different types of fat; the difference Omega-3 and Omega-6 and the Mediterranean diet. Dr Poole gives free talks to community groups and can be contacted via his website: The Taste of the Mediterranean at http://www.tasteofthemed.com
