Great to see momentum building on this in the mainstream media! We should all be angry! Banning ultra-processed food is not a nanny-state issue. It’s common sense

Dear @DrAseemMalhotra Covid-19 is a virus. Its big name is SARS-CoV-2. SARS=Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The CoV-2 bit is because it's a coronavirus genetically similar to the original (CoV) from 2002. Viruses are not a 'diet related disease'. However often you write it🙄

A beautiful reminder that when you get to 90+ years old feel free to eat white bread with sugar-laden preserves, enjoy afternoon tea with cream cakes and buns.... just remember to add some HBV protein food and take a one-a-day MVM supplement (well, that's what I tell my 92yo mum)

Food fructose studies and blood sugar control. Neat (and timely) meta-analysis of the evidence. And for non-RDs or nutritionists out there, a reminder that when it comes to diet and health, it's #abitmorecomplicated than demonising single nutrients/foods .

If you’re unfortunate enough to end up in #ICU I choose the liquid feed that’ll best match your needs and avoid causing more problems. And fab nurses at your bedside will deliver and monitor it for me #teamwork #WhatRDsDo

Used with fluid intake in high output ileostomy - salt helps improve bowel water uptake. Easy to eat 'sideways' with little mess. Crisps = potato + sunflower/rapeseed oil + salt. @ocado pic

Not naming names, but the first thing we dietitians did this morning in the office was to nutritionally deconstruct a colleagues breakfast choice of M&S custard choux bun and come to the conclusion it made a relevant and nutritionally OK choice

1. Please don't write 'E+D well' when all your pt has managed is a ☕️ + slice of toast in the preceding 8 hours. 2. That bedside table heaving with snacks? Means nothing nutritionally unless consumed. 3. Prescribing nutritional supplements? Between meals, please #TipsForNewDocs
