The results of our Salt Substitute and Stroke Study and many other large-scale studies indicate that potassium-enriched salt should be included in hypertension treatment guidelines worldwide.

The evidence is there – it’s now time to #SwitchTheSalt.

Every phone is now a bottleshop.

Read @AimeeBrownbill thread on new research that shows that people are hit with more than 1,000 ads a day, with most acting as shop fronts and what this means for people who are most at risk of harm.

A rare win suggesting the new definitions in the Vic Liquor Act may make it easier for communities to object to new licences. Will be interesting to see what happens next. https://t.co/fw4CMhxV9Z

While most food products have nutritional info on the packaging, only a few indicate their environmental impact. Prof Simone Pettigrew from @georgeinstitute sheds light on a new app designed to empower consumers by revealing these hidden impacts: https://t.co/w03A8tEgHI

The food system is essential for human health, but it is also a major contributor to climate change and environmental degradation. So how can we empower consumers to make eco-friendly choices? Read more in this latest piece by @SimonePettigrew et et al https://t.co/PXuN0FOzF9

Congratulations @Mark_Butler_MP @healthgovau on the new comprehensive campaign supporting consumers to quit vaping & smoking. Long-term investment in campaigns like these is critical to reducing harms to Australians from these addictions.

"The lasting impact of the Go for 2&5 campaign"
The characteristics of the Go for 2&5 campaign appear to have enabled it to achieve relatively high levels of recall among older people.

Thank you @PatsKarvelas for talking with Prof. @SimonePettigrew on RN Breakfast about the need for mandatory pregnancy warnings to be visible for shoppers buying alcohol online.

Australian regulations must catch up & close this harmful loophole. https://t.co/b2gq1Bsdb8 @_PHAA_

An important piece of research highlighting the grey area zero-alcohol beverages occupy - parents are right to be wary, with evidence showing delaying exposure to alcohol reduces harms later in life. @SimonePettigrew

Bravo Minister Butler for this strong campaign!
Young people are still exposed to vaping ads despite regulations: 31% have seen an ad on TikTok & 25% on Snapchat. Instagram has 18K+ vaping 'influencers’ here. We back the Govt's efforts to crack down. @SimonePettigrew @alikjones

How Dry January became a branding event for Big Alcohol.

When the marketeers are telling you that zero alc products are a way to market the master brands you know it’s time to ensure these products are subject to the same restrictions as alcohol.

Excellent comments from Ruediger Krech at WHO about need to avoid complacency and expose continuing tobacco industry efforts to undermine health measures.

Brilliant Mike 😀👋

I asked ChatGPT to write a haiku about a tobacco company owning a wellness business.

"Leafy wellness guise,
Tobacco's sly metamorph,
Smoke veils health's demise."

Not bad.

A lot of people ask me about my top #ClimateAction tips. While the key lies in systemic change and #deeptransformation, there is a lot we can do as individuals. Well, this list from the @guardian makes for a great start to 2024!

[The George Institute for Global Health @georgeinstitute]

The global food system is one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation - and one of the sectors hardest hit by climate change.

The Food Governance Conference - will explore how law, policy and regulation can address food system challenges.

Should government contractors be allowed to make political donations? Not in most OECD countries, but apparently fine here.
Political parties disclose a small proportion of their funding. Transparency is the first step. #donationreform
