Junk food doesn’t come cheap!.. costs the NHS ..and people their lives!! And we serve it in schools, hospitals and care homes + fill all media with adverts for it! Killing a generation: T2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancers, inflammatory disease, poor mental health, NASH

@DevSharmaMYP @BorisJohnson Did you see @rosenbergjacob_ on @channel4news? @BorisJohnson has u-turned on his promises to end junk food ads — we have no escape from them, they are everywhere. We are calling on the government to stop delaying and protect our health now #ChildHealthUTurn #AdEnough

I’m aware how important the gut microbiome is for metabolism and obesity risk but I didn’t appreciate #Statins could alter gut microbiota and dysregulate bile acid metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Await with interest further studies in this area Nice study in @Cell_Metabolism
GutMicrobiota Health@GMFHx

Statins can raise blood glucose and pose an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. New findings in @Cell_Metabolism suggest an altered gut microbiome could be involved: cell.com/cell-metabolis…

I’ve read hundreds of medical papers on ‘The Microbiome’ and it’s influence on our health. I ‘prescribe’ good nutrition &exercise more than drugs. Amazing, ‘big picture’ captured in this book. Read &you’ll know more than most doctors! Knowledge=progress ⁦@bowelsurgeon

In the battle for our breakfast tables, chocolate is the new weapon of choice for junk food corporations. They recklessly use confectionary brands to market to kids and normalise eating sweets all day long. 💀 Damages our kid's health. 🤡 Utterly irresponsible. 🛑 Must stop.

A coalition of 35 health and food organisations have joined Recipe for Change - a campaign calling for a new industry levy to help make our food healthier, while raising revenue that can be invested back into children’s health. sustainweb.org/assets/recipe-…

Whilst it’s just ‘association’ , it’s @95,000 people and statistically significant correlation between emulsifiers and cardiovascular disease! Yes- in every slide of ultra-processed bread we feed our patients daily …. ?Do no harm’ 🤔 bmj.com/content/382/bm…

@erikahughes111 Yes it’s a good read . I’m a nerd and like to read the medical journals / evidence base and there’s a growing body of evidence against many ingredients in UPF but also how perfectly normal carbs are ultra-refined and turned into glucose loads. Need to shop/ cook like it’s 1920 👌

The health of nearly 1 in 3 children is at risk from diet-related diseases. Yet giant food brands use manipulative marketing aimed at kids on products that are high in sugar. We support @actiononsugar's call for companies to put child health first bit.ly/47yepKG

New research reveals that only 8% of yoghurts marketed to children are low in sugar. So we took a stroll around the yoghurt aisle and... 🤯 Source: @Food_Foundation #BrokenPlate2023

HOT of the press! Glad to see a recommendation that commercial baby and toddler foods are NOT needed. Also that monitoring of non-sugar #sweeteners intakes in 1-5s is needed. Will read carefully and share more reflections in the coming weeks. #recommendations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.uk/government/pub…
