💥 NEW 💥

“Keep the brand confidential and [do] not tag Palantir”

Palantir don’t like us criticising them – so they’ve hired an agency that’s secretly recruiting influencers to attack us on their behalf 👀

Mark Drakeford: was the only head of nations who saw the potential of the zoe Covid app and used and promoted it for Wales . It was a pleasure to work with him and his team! theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Should we be concerned over 'diet' soft drinks?

In this RCT (n=493) non-nutritive sweetened beverages (e.g., diet coke) led to slightly *more* weight loss than water (not clinically meaningful).

Also no meaningful diffs in health markers

State of the food system

89% sales of top twenty food companies derive from unhealthy products

Climate and environmental implications of those red bars will be massive too

This is not just a health problem - we are the suckers funding the big food companies to make us the sickest people in Europe while we are told it’s all under control. Obesity and weight gain cost Britain £98bn a year

Again South America is way ahead of the UK and US in starting to deal with the UPF health pandemic. How long will our govts resist the obvious moves to protect our health? just start with warning labels like we did with cigarettes....

So IMO 1) postprandial responses are linked to health; 2) they can be measured at scale, breadth & precision; 3) we know much of the inter- & intra- person variability…but does personalising on it improve health! YES, if it is one of many targets upon which the advice is based👇
