Excellent report on one of our biggest health challenges and what to do about it: Obesity challenge: Crack down on junk food ads, takeaway shops, says Helen Clark Foundation - NZ Herald https://t.co/0PqMhG0c0m

The University of Otago has warned about a deep fake video which features a false story featuring one of the university’s leading endocrinologists.

To meet international guidelines, New Zealand needs to double the workforce that supports people with diabetes. Unless that happens, newly-funded health technologies won’t get to those most in need. @waikato @otago https://t.co/TajtjSWC1u

EDOR research, and that of colleagues around the country, has shown the alarming extent of junk food advertising viewed by kids in Aotearoa New Zealand everyday.

With diet-related diseases now causing more deaths than smoking, we need to act sooner rather than later.

[Boyd Swinburn @BoydSwinburn]

If the UK Tory government could ban junk food marketing to kids, why can't we? Opinion: Smoking ads are banned in New Zealand. Why are junk food ads still allowed? https://t.co/TnTisBFXw8

Excellent news that this law with a watershed time for TV and online bans for junk foods will be in force from next year. All developed (but not implemented) under a Tory government. Important exemplar on prioritising children's rights and health.

Happy to share research from my PhD examining baby food pouches & baby-led weaning ➡️ We found that 2/3 of severely food insecure NZ families with infants used pouches almost daily – perceiving them to be easy-to-use, nutritious & less likely to be wasted

In this repeated-measures cohort study, use of an objective method showed that screen time once in bed was associated with impairment of #sleep, especially when screen time was interactive or involved multitasking. https://t.co/Xa9r0ALaJR #adolescents #science
