Welcome! Hands up who gets confused by diet advice? Globally, we're baffled. A 2023 international survey found over 70 per cent of people in the US feel overwhelmed by contradictory food health advice, while people in France and Germany report their fair share of frustration, too. It seems the more we search for answers, the more questions we stumble upon. Luckily, we're here to help and have asked a nutritionist to answer the top 10 dietary dilemmas that leave us scratching our heads. Should you count carbs or calories? What kind of fats stop the buildup of cholesterol and which ones cause it? Hannah Twiggs sits down with the experts and finds out. And more confusion this week over a new Covid variant which experts warn is stronger than previous strains and is spreading across Europe fast. As health officials suggest it's only getting started, Zoe Beaty looks at whether we really need to worry in this piece. Meanwhile, as we hurtle towards autumn, many are preparing for a Sober October, something more of us are doing than ever, especially as our ability to metabolise alcohol shifts with age. Clair Woodward explains how her drinking habits changed in midlife in this brilliant piece. Until next week! Vicki Harper Assistant Editor |
