Yeah, there were a few on there that make you glad to see they are getting their books read:
-
Chris van Tulleken - there was a piece on Radio 4 about ultra processed foods and he contributed to it. I knew a bit about this but he lays out all the nasty knock-on effects of it very clearly.
-
Tim Marshall - Prisoners of Geography is great but I haven't read the others in his Politics of Place series (Power is #4 and looks to be a return to form if the reviews are anything to go by) and my teetering to-read pile warns me I shouldn't add to it any time soon.
-
Adam Kay - he and, the other doctor whose name escapes me (Philip Hammond?), have done a good job humanising the NHS and also holding it to account.
-
Michael Mosley is a tricky one - Trust Me I'm a Doctor is good but he keeps popping up promoting fad diets which I find a bit off-putting. However, Just One Thing has been running on Radio 4 and seems solid, sensible advice so the book should be useful for people looking to improve their health in a hectic world (ie most of us).
I should have included links:
- Just One Thing - still available to download as a podcast, so you can get an idea of what the content is.
- Chris van Tulleken on Radio 4's The Food Programme, that I mentioned.
- Chris van Tulleken talking about UPF on Channel 4 News.
Thanks for linking this, not something I'd normally stumble across
No worries. It popped up in my newsfeed, so I thought I'd pass it along.
