A brilliant piece of writing, the issues regarding fibre consumption despite its proven health benefits have been so well articulated.
The reality is that fibre isn't sexy or cool 🤷‍♀️
I hope we can market it as such, because we all need to eat more of it!

Here’s a thing I wrote about fibre and the challenge of getting people to do more of something.

Cohort studies show high intake of #UltraProcessedFoods #UPF associated with 1.7-fold greater risk of developing #CrohnsDisease but not #UlcerativeColitis

@BuczkowskiB Enjoy Bartek! I hope your sister has managed to source your favourite apples for you while you're there 😆🍎

Some interesting replies to this. Although, many start with "it's simple", in reality it really isn't simple. There are so many factors at play and I believe a holistic, accessible and non-judgemental approach is needed.

With the NHS set to launch new specialist clinics aimed at supporting young people living with severe obesity, @darrenadam asks how should obesity in children be addressed?

@BuczkowskiB I have a very similar pic from today! It's been beautiful outside hasn't it? 🍂🌤

After writing about the benefits of omega 3s and their effect on inflammation, I am introducing more flaxseed and oily fish to my diet 🍣🌰

Research should be accessible for everyone. I had no idea until I started studying that so many studies and papers come at a cost.

[Elisabeth Bik @MicrobiomDigest]

I thought COVID-19 papers at @sciencedirect would be free?
Now I need to pay $35.95 to download a paper that I did a critical post-publication peer review on.
Scientific publishers should be paying me, not the other way around.
(I have a copy, thank you).

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Nutritional Sciences IS a science degree. I come across so many people who assume it's 3 years talking about macro splits or think its a cookery class.
People literally express their shock when I say its hard work 😫

[Carina Girgenti Nutrition @CarinaNutrition]

@BuczkowskiB You're welcome! Thanks for the brilliant lessons, we have learnt so much in 6 weeks! My head may fall off with all the information, but I'm very grateful 😂👩‍🔬🧪🧬🧫

[Carina Girgenti Nutrition @CarinaNutrition]

@HalehMoravej Amazing thank you 💛

[Carina Girgenti Nutrition @CarinaNutrition]

@HalehMoravej Haleh it was so tasty! Is there any chance you could post the recipe? I really enjoyed it 👏
