It's time for the medical establishment to admit they made a terrible mistake

It’s time for the medical establishment to admit they made a terrible mistake

Here’s the speech  I prepared for the Global Health Awards 2025 that took place in the House of Commons members dining area on Thursday July 10th. 

It was attended by over 100 people that included healthcare leaders, politicians and clinicians. I was pleasantly surprised to receive and award for excellence in public health communication. The fact that my speech was also well received is a sign that the counter more honest narrative on the health crisis is gaining traction in powerful circles.

Fat but fit myth busted

Today’s BBC News headlines confirmed what many of us already knew to be true, that it’s not possible to be fat and fit. Essentially if you’re obese but still have no risk factors for heart disease, just being significantly overweight in itself is harmful to health in the long term.

Lifestyle medicine to save the NHS billions and halt healthcare crisis

Yesterday myself and a number of prominent doctors, nutritionists, sports scientists and health campaigners wrote a letter to the medical schools council, the general medical council and the secretary of state for health calling for mandatory training for medical students and practicing doctors in evidence based lifestyle interventions to prevent and treat chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Nuts, olive oil and vegetables are the best heart medicine

Nuts, olive oil and vegetables are the best heart medicine ( too many prescriptions cause massive waste and harm the public).

 

It may be hard to believe, but poor diet now contributes to more disease and death than physical inactivity, smoking and alcohol combined (according to  The Lancet). We  have been guzzling sugar, refined carbohydrates and industrial vegetable oils as never before, with devastating consequences for public health. The combined costs of type 2 diabetes and obesity to the NHS and UK economy exceed £20 billion.

Sugar-is-NOT-a-'nutrient'

Sugar is NOT a “nutrient” so let’s not pretend it is 

The announcement last week by the British chancellor George Osborne for the introduction of a sugary drinks tax was very welcome news.

In February 2013, after a year reviewing the evidence the Academy of Medical Royal colleges ( I sat on the steering committee) produced a ten point obesity action plan which included a tax on sugary drinks.
