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 3.1K views · 15 likes · 5 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

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 4.3K views · 23 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

@timspector It’s not a strange obsession. Meat and fish are the optimal protein source for humans due to the other nutrients contained within that you just don’t get in plants. 237 views · 17 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@timspector Meat protein is superior to plant protein, so it’s not strange at all. 675 views · 39 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

@timspector Might need to explain what you mean Tim, why is that a strange obsession? They are the most commonly used sources throughout the history of humanity 591 views · 29 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

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 ! 22.1K views · 62 likes · 11 reposts · 38 replies Open on X →
