There have been recent reports of patients stopping their #aspirin inappropriately, misinterpreting the media regarding #ASPREE as also applying to secondary prevention. We wrote this blog to help demystify things for patients @HeartAust heartfoundation.org.au/news/…

Ways to look busy:
1. Turn up later than everyone else but rush into the office looking annoyed
2. Act like spending half an hour in the toilet has annoyed you
3. Rush around with an open laptop looking annoyed
4. Get annoyed at a printer
5. Just generally look annoyed

Weight bias in exercise and nutrition professionals. Sys review of x-sectional and qualitative studies.

I like the use of a table to clearly set out suggested future research areas #loveagoodtable
Sys review of sys reviews; Oh, and it's on low carb diets.
Read the paper yourself. My take home? LC one of many (not only) ways to adapt a diet.
More interesting is the exploration of factors which may contribute to biasing outcomes of sys rvs.

What makes a good partnership between researchers and policy makers? The ideal partnership is based on co-production! #policy #research #partnership @SaxInstitute
"We will never address health inequalities with kale, hummus and artisan sour dough."
Think it might just be time for a new Angry Chef post.
Sorry, low carb again, but they do go on.
On headlines, dietary obsessions and nutrition's big problem.

That's not a knife, this is a knife...Are we talking about the same thing when we're using the same words? In nutrition, labels are thrown around willy nilly.
This article explores uncertaintly in diet classification, using ketogenic diet as an example. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
(Over)feeding trial: 1,000kJ extra sat fat, carbs or unsat fat. Each effected liver differntly. Read the study to find out, but in a nut shell (pun intended) sat fat produced worse results. care.diabetesjournals.org/co…
(based on the food choices I'd choose the unsat fat arm anyday!)
