From the new (4th) RCT comparing UPF-based with UPF-free diets: "Consumption of UPFs impairs metabolic and reproductive health. Effects were independent of caloric load, providing evidence that the ultra-processed nature of food is detrimental to health". https://t.co/rGjHM91xTm

Great achievement from my one and only Clinical Fellow, Michael Sagmeister. Fantastic insights into steroid dysregulation in chronic kidney disease. @unibham_SoBMS, @InflamAge_UoB https://t.co/CGbDIZMbxG

[Maria Tomkins @MariaTomkins]

Great to have our research highlighted! Even “low dose” steroid exposure can cause adrenal insufficiency. @BeaumontTranspl
