"A lot of people are telling me now they can not eat this food"
@DoctorChrisVT and his brother @XandVT put their bodies to the test to show us what happens when we eat ultra-processed food 🍔

Andy, you don’t “go on”. That rubbish is way way too common in @NHSEngland. You know more than almost anyone how patients can be fed well to help their recovery. And you’re the rare enlightened caterer who understands the issue as a patient! We NEED you to “go on”. 👏👏👏👏
This was such an elegant study from @mattostrowski2 about how Xanthan gum sets up a food chain in the gut that doesn’t exist in populations who don’t eat it. The health implications aren’t clear but we should spend much more money on the microbiome mediated effects of additives.
Chinese artist & activist Ai Weiwei reveals the moving story behind the black hole in his vast reimagining of Monet’s Water Lilies. The massive multi-colored artwork, created from 650-thousand Lego studs, is the centerpiece of his new London exhibition ‘Making Sense’ @aiww.
Since day one, the NHS has never stood still. It has continually innovated and adapted to meet the changing needs of our patients – and continues to do so.
To everyone who's made such a difference to many millions of lives over the last 75 years — thank you.
If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.
Please take just two seconds to show you care.

This is what we're reading at Bags of Taste. It's brilliant to see so many books discussing food, health and well-being, health inequalities and food insecurity and how we can change things. Please share any other books or recommendations @DoctorChrisVT@HenryDimbleby@timspector
At the supermarket this morning, these were the two cereals at child height. This is not breakfast food. This is not food for children. It’s just deliberately targeted crap happily designed to make kids fat. And it comes from the two biggest companies in the sector.
🚨Huge thanks to Suzanne Webb MP @Q66Suzi for securing a vital debate on the health impacts of ultra-processed food
📈The unhealthy food & drink environment is a major driver of obesity related ill health and fatty liver disease which is estimated to affect 1 in 5 people 🧵
75 years ago today, the Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks in a symbolic moment for Britain
Today we celebrate our dear Windrush generation, who shaped our multicultural identity and made a remarkable impact on our social, cultural, and political landscapes
#Windrush75 🧡
On this day 75 years ago Empire Windrush arrived, and within weeks, many of those on board had joined the NHS. This #WindrushDay, we want to recognise all our NHS colleagues connected to the Windrush's arrival to the UK.
Thank you for your invaluable contributions. 💙
