Is red meat bad for you? New meta study of 44 studies finds it depends on the sponsor. If the sponsor was impartial, most studies find it's bad for you. If the sponsor was the red meat industry, most studies are structured to find no problems. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40379522/

The Labour gov have allowed wood burning stoves to be permitted in new homes as a secondary heating source in the Future Homes and Buildings Standards. As an air quality scientist, this is appalling news. Smoke from stoves is a growing health hazard. But why did the UK gov make this decision? 🧵

Important and interesting findings showing broad public support for more government action on these health harming products. Would love to see future polls include a question on public support/opposition for policies to shield health policy from influence of vested industry influences…

My pet theory is that the experience level needed for non-medics to be eligible to apply is such that they answer the situational judgement questions as if they're more senior than the test wants them to be 1/

2024 marked 70 years since the tobacco industry, faced with mounting evidence of the harm caused by its products, issued their “Frank Statement” to smokers reassuring them that the link between smoking and lung cancer was yet to be proven.🧵

When I become King all boundaries will be fixed & the NHS will be forced to follow administrative structures. Any organisation trying to create a new set of geographies for its own ends will be abolished. Milton Keynes will be placed in the South East and Glossop in Derbyshire and that will be that.
