Individual dose-response is core to nutrition and lifestyle medicine. Hormesis, esp mitohormesis, is the lever to longevity. Happy and healthful 2026

Twelve years on from Nutrition Society calling it 'improper' for SACN to ignore evidence on fructose - please do not make same mistake @NICEComms Fatty liver is a big problem now in children. @CommonsHealth @LaylaMoran

@timspector @BBCFoodProg @SheilaDillon @PHE_uk @DiabetesUK Levy said SACN looked at totality of evidence on Carbs in 2015 - not true. SACN ignored fructose. @NutritionSoc said 'improper' and SACN ignored that. Not pukka @PHE_uk

For 2026 : reduced risk of disease or prevention claim? What is 'prevention' at the mitochondrial level? Tea Polyphenols protects against oxidative stress-triggered neurons damage by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction and modulating AKT/CREB/BDNF and Keap-1/Nrf2 signaling

Hey @wesstreeting here's a simple way to save the NHS £924million annually: replicate Norwood GP Surgery nationally. In fact, make a low carb solid food diet an option in the NHS Path To Remission program (it currently isn't). The cost to roll this out is minimal, the savings

Is @EFSA correct to say 'Maltodextrin is result of enzymatic breakdown of starch: the manufacturing process mimics what will happen in the digestion of starch by humans. For this reason there is no need for a quantitative consumer risk assessment'? Really?? @foodgov

In 2013 EFSA produced a pesticide risk assessment of maltodextrin (MDX) https://t.co/p1HxD2H5E8 'A high risk to bees cannot be excluded'

Need AI to a analyse EFSA position on not having a consumer risk assessment of maltodextrin but did has a pesticide one?

Are you publishing MASLD Committee list @NICEComms ? Very disappointing that prevention of fatty liver is not a priority topic in your forthcoming guidance update @CommonsHealth

In EU and GB law maltodextrin is an ingredient not an additive. Therefore it must be included in an updated @DHSCgovuk Nutrient Profiling Model or reasons given as to why maltodextrin is healthier than sucrose: an empty calories is an empty calorie. @CommonsHealth

Maltodextrin-driven energy flow: Maltodextrin intake → rapid glucose release → mitochondrial overload (ATP + ROS) → ER–mitochondria crosstalk → protein misfolding and ER stress (IRE1β, PERK, p38 MAPK) → reduced mucin secretion → mucus barrier depletion → inflammation.

Everyone talks about “energy,” like the body runs on calories or motivation. It doesn’t. It runs on timing: the nanoscale choreography between protons, electrons, and the electromagnetic field your cells sit inside. Mitochondria aren’t power plants. They’re voltage regulators,
