What is the optimal macronutrient intake for preventing heart disease, cancer and all-cause mortality? It's complicated, with multiple macronutrient profiles being associated with lower risk --- not "one size fits all". Congrats @NKoemel

Another recent paper by @DietitianShuang - systematic review and network meta-analysis of dietary patterns and NCD risk factors. #Paleo diet tops the rankings! Followed by DASH and Mediterranean diets, with western habitual diet bringing up the rear.

A logical follow-up to her previous review article showing a dearth of validated biomarkers for capturing dietary patterns.

Congratulations to @DietitianShuang for her recent paper with myself and @ANGLIhere developing a biomarker panel of the Healthy Eating Index, in essence capturing adherence to the US Dietary Guidelines.

Health star ratings are broken. CSIRO developing a food processing method to increase the health star rating of "natural" fruit juices, despite unsweetened juice lowering risk of heart disease and having no effect on childhood obesity. @CitrusAustralia

@DrAndrewBurgess In so many ways.
I think I'm the "applicant" coming through full tilt who wipes out at 0:45!

Nonetheless, a clear demonstration that an informed group of citizens consider (what many would refer to as) radical climate action to be not only justified, but the best means by which to address climate change.

All to be funded with a tax on big corporations.

Perhaps not surprisingly these policies then partly vetoed by the President and watered-down by the political class.
