Absolutely brilliant! Do read it!

@One_Angry_Chef I now really, really want to use the dietary data I have collected to investigate S-Food consumption.

Here's an Angry Chef blog post about smug-faced children's TV presenters talking about food science and UPFs. the-angry-chef.com/blog/tsot3ikgb…

@KulikovUNIATF @UN_Nutrition @Tweet_Nutrition @francelletti @NutriXclusive @DunkTheJunkFood @occupyjunkfood @enjoy_diabetes @eatrxhealth @eat_heal_love @CCSEatHealthy The FFQ used in this study was never designed to measure UPFs leading to arbitrary decisions when classifying foods. Unlike many similar studies, bread is classified as NOVA-3 here and I wonder why. In reality, we know little about UPF intake in this study.

A large study conducted over 19 years showed individuals in the highest quartile of frequency of ultra-processed food 🍩intake (e.g. sugar-sweetened beverages, 🧋sweetened milk, sausage or other reconstructed meats, sweetened cereals, 🧁 confectionery, desserts) had a 31% higher risk of all-cause mortality, plus an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dementia. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30789115/

My latest on @Medscape makes the case that no, diet and and exercise are not better than medications for obesity. As in literally not better. Idealistically maybe there's room for argument (though I don't think so tbh), but the data on drugs' superiority is unequivocal 🧵

We're very much looking forward to exhibiting at this exciting event and showcasing our work in appraising AI health technologies.

These stats, just released, are a national scandal. Over 15,000 doctors applied to GP training this year. Yet @NHSEngland is letting only 4000 of them do so. Yes. That’s 11k potential new GPs lost to the NHS - when we’re crying out for GPs. Many replaced with PAs - madness.

In the autumn and winter months, the sun is not strong enough for us to make vitamin D in our skin. Government advice is that everyone should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement from October to March. Vitamin D is also found in some foods - see nutrition.org.uk/media/gyceqobk…

A new global study suggests that one in three children is now shortsighted: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… We have published guidance recommending the routine adoption of lenses that slow the progress of shortsightedness in children and adolescents in Wales: healthtechnology.wales/reports-guidan…

Actually, thinking about it, the entire nation should be ashamed for making the very same doctors and nurses who risked their lives to try and save their fellow citizens’ from Covid beg and strike without pay just to get their pay in line with inflation! It’s a f’ing joke!
