Our first big view of the role of viral phages in the human gut in over 1000 twins - they can alter metabolism and virulence and are mainly influenced by diet and environment- but much to learn! https://t.co/0MtCiE8WgO

How we all age is unique - this 8 year study of twins shows key gene expression and metabolomic changes - altering risk of cancers and other diseases . V proud of this multi- center collab that took 15 years. Proving that good science often needs time. https://t.co/7FMEULoln3

A strange mix! Exciting recognition of highly processed foods as dangerous and clear guidance to avoid sugars and artificial sweeteners in children and an end to demonising fat BUT a strange obsession with using meat and dairy as great sources of fat and protein that we need !

David Cameron’s call for selective screening is backed up by many experts. High risk individuals should Have genetic screening . If Cameron had a family cancer syndrome because of his brother - a BRCA1 gene test would show his increased risk
