@StephenNolan What a reductionist approach. Face to face? I work in a team of 10 in a small charity working to prevent Alzheimer's: Ireland, NI, Scotland, Wales, England. Our communication, camaraderie, productivity and creativity is through the roof. I have friends for life.

@mikenesbittni @StephenNolan I've just seen 63 yr old denied a flu vaccine. She used the word 'terrified': close family member died in hospital from flu yesterday/another family member is in hospital & she needs to visit. This is not good enough. I'm 'lucky' - I was able to pay.

@wesstreeting - weight loss doesn't necessarily equal health. Unless people are changing their nutrition and lifestyle, it's just a change in weight, not health. Please factor this in to your plans 🙏

@timspector What about post-ozempic metabolic and gut health tho?

There is a theory that some people are genetically predisposed to be resistant to obesity- maybe the U.K. and US have reached this limit . The average weight still gets higher though pre ozempic

@easyJet @BristolAirport Absolutely shameful treatment tonight on the Belfast flight. Delays, delays, no information, wrong information, NO staff, no point of contact, no one to help - some very distressed passengers. Do better, ex-easyjet customer

@StephenNolan - you can go abroad, get a cosmetic procedure and receive NHS care if needed - even when it has gone wrong

@StephenNolan - afternoon energy slumps/ tiredness is likely to be a drop in blood sugar after eating a carb heavy lunch (meal deal hell!)

@StephenNolan The basis of inter generational trauma - very relevant here #TikTok vm.tiktok.com/ZGJvxsDCw/

@alexhallhall Learned helplessness

@timspector Flourless olive oil cake

No - I’m sure you can make cakes with eggs flour yeast and butter which would not be ultra processed as you would find the ingredients in an average kitchen! It’s the chemicals and food extracts you don’t want want as they are replicating the real food.

@timspector What about cultural differences? Collectivist v individualistic societies?

Getting an overview of the Covid pandemic is tricky - but this maybe as close as we get - I used data from Billinski JAMA 2022 to get these plots showing excess mortality by country w only weak correlation w vaccine rates tho stronger in US. May be only way to compare countries.

@MartinSLewis What about the people lucky enough to have maxed out their top ups? With only 90 days to use the voucher, what can be done not to be moved on to the higher tariff?

Are you on a NON-SMART PREPAYMENT energy meter? If so there are reports today many people on these have not yet claimed their £66/mth winter energy help vouchers. If you're in that position, have you claimed, if not why not (maybe just not topped up yet after pre-loading?)

@JackFromMorley @MartinSLewis But they also pointed out they only last for 90 days 🙄

@MartinSLewis Not using mine until my meter runs out, I maxed it out before the rates increased and using it now would update the meter - making use of the old rate as long as I can.

@StephenNolan - you have no control month to month how much energy companies can take as a direct debit. The only answer is to cancel them and switch to a standing order that you DO have control of.

@StephenNolan so if you've been in a lucky position to pre-load your electric does this mean when you top up (and presumably get a longer code to switch your rate to the new rate), they can claw back all your credit at the new, much higher tariffs?

@BBCAnyQuestions There are THREE Ukrainian dentists with one host family here in Northern Ireland (and a dentistry crisis)

@timspector Is there a good email for you? An email came to me this morning rubbishing your work on calories and I'd like to forward you it.

Study of 90 obese volunteers on calorie restriction got extra benefit from time restriction eating and 40 percent wanted to continue after the 14 week trial period. “To shed the pounds don’t eat after 3pm” thetimes.co.uk/article/to-she…

@BootstrapCook I found out the hard way that the energy provider can vary your DD amount without recourse to you! Cancelling and SO at least gives you control.
