Amazing to finally meet Dr Aseem Malhotra and listen to him talk about the changes needed in the NHS...

As you may or may not know - Dr Aseem Malhotrais a leading cardiologist and anti-sugar campaigner whose advice helped Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson reverse his Type 2 Diabetes.

He has also (many moons ago) published the book - The Pioppi Diet. And has helped 10,000's of people with their health.

However, he has also (as reported in the newspapers) been the victim of a “dirty tricks” campaign by the public health agency in the UK!

Dr Aseem Malhotra who advocates a Mediterranean diet low in added sugar and refined carbohydrates. He believes saturated fat — found in cheese and full-fat milk, which scientists recently linked to better heart health — has been wrongly demonised.

However, his advice contradicts that of Public Health England (PHE). Now he says PHE, which he claims has been acting like a front for the food industry, has tried to discredit him.

Does this sound familar? Crazy isn't it.

But this is what we are up against people. Big powerful organsiations with lots of influence and money. Often financed by the government and sponsored by businesses that make money from people being ill. Or giving people the choice to buy things that make them unwell in the future.

So perhaps we need to do something MORE about it?

I don't know. To be honest - the more and more I meet people in the NHS and beyond the less and less I think they are going to change. Perhaps I should just STOP trying...

Anyhoo he is one of the good guys - he has been trying to bring the changes for over a decade - so if you don't already follow him then follow him on Twitter and get his book too. It's a goodie.
