🚨❗ Results of the FIRST EVER trial comparing ultra-processed food (UPF) and minimally-processed food (MPF) diets following healthy dietary guidelines on health (and the longest trial of UPF to date) published today in Nature Medicine What did we find? A Thread… 🧵 1/

We have a new paper on replacing #potatoes for other foods and type 2 diabetes. @PrateekPokharel describes the results in the thread below. Do have a read!

Most ingredients touted as the key to better health fail to live up to the hype but fibre bucks this trend, with benefits for the whole body, not just the gut.

You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local. Transport emissions are very small for most food products.

Arriving in Lyon after 22:00 means slim pickings on the quick food front. But you're never far away from a McD's in a city....

@IARCWHO No time to find the main concourse at Bruxelles-Midi, no kiosks open on the platform, and the @GroupeSNCF TGV Bar on the train to Lyon is closed = no dinner for me. It was a tactical error to only bring a packed lunch.🙄

@IARCWHO It was a lovely new ICE, but nevertheless picked up a "greater than expected delay"...

@IARCWHO Zooming through Cologne, with the famous cathedral and a rather swollen river Rhine.

@IARCWHO All's well in Frankfurt! Now on to Brussels. (Looks like we have a 2 min delay already... Good thing I have a 40 min layover in Brussels-Midi before the next train)

I'm lucky enough that @IARCWHO have booked me a 1st class ticket, and there's lots of space in the 1st class section. Will I make my first connection I Frankfurt? And my second one in Brussels? Watch this space...

Once again, taking #trains across Europe. This time, my trip from Kassel to @IARCWHO in Lyon starts poorly. My train is 30 min delayed (so I would miss my connection in Frankfurt), but the train before is 60 min late (!), and I hop on that instead. 🚄🌍

It can be easy to fuel your body with a plant-based diet if you know where to look! 🥗💚 Nutrient-dense foods & variety 🥬🌾🥜🍓will guarantee you a good #micronutrient balance.

The supervisors are ace, the place is inspiring - just do it!

@ARCHAEOfelix @AarhusUni And a whole bunch of colleagues 😅

An evening out with the Prof @ARCHAEOfelix for @AarhusUni birthday party 🎉

I do sort of get the feeling that every time we break UPFs down into the constituent food groups, some usual suspects always turn up: 🧋&🥓

Something to do over lunchtime next week, maybe, @ARCHAEOfelix ?
