We are very close to reaching the goal! I'm doing the BHF London to Brighton cycle ride. I'm raising funds to get an oxygen aid for my mum. If you'd like to contribute to the cause, or just cheer along, I'd be mega grateful! justgiving.com/crowdfunding/O…

Brilliant article on UPFs. Current evidence, the lobbying by food corporations and the manufacturing of doubt. + featuring Jean Adams “There’s scientific agreement on the science. It’s how to interpret that to make a policy that people aren’t sure of.” on.ft.com/450TH5y

We did NIHR SPHR #publichealth research on ultra-processed foods (#UPF) consumption trends in UK adolescents. Give the lead investigator, Yanaina Chavez-Ugalde, a follow for all the details and all the goss. theguardian.com/society/articl…

See how ineffective the evaluation of the safety of substances added to food in the USA is. Thousands never independently assessed. Likely similar in most countries. Yet another reason for consumers to avoid UPFs and for health authorities to regulate them.ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.210…

This is really bad. It is ludicrous to say that there are not enough non- conflicted nutrition experts in the country to provide good advice. UK government’s nutrition advisers are paid by world’s largest food companies, BMJ analysis reveals | The BMJ bmj.com/content/386/bm…
