  • Kids and junk food: simple ways to break the habit with Rhiannon Lambert & Dr. Federica Amati

    Kids and junk food: simple ways to break the habit with Rhiannon Lambert & Dr. Federica Amati
    Oct 24 2024
    As adults, food shopping can be a minefield. But when it comes to feeding your kids, the stakes are even higher. Our food environment is rife with misinformation. Brightly coloured labels on packaged, often ultra-processed foods promise high protein, high fibre and low calories. The additives, emulsifiers and mountains of added sugar are hidden in the small print. So how can parents navigate this confusing landscape? Today, we hear from two of the UK’s most-trusted nutritionists (and both parents of small children) on how to keep your kids eating well. Rhiannon Lambert has authored four books, including recent Sunday Times bestseller The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition. Half a million people follow her for nutrition advice on Instagram. ZOE’s Head Nutritionist, Imperial College London lecturer and bestselling author of Every Body Should Know This, Dr. Federica Amati, joins Rhiannon for today’s conversation. 🥑 Make smarter food choices.

Great episode!

Once again, it is like Jonathan is reading my mind and asking all the questions I have! (except for the one on tomatoes...). Thank you for explaining the science and debunking the latest myth, which although one can see it's just aimed at selling a miracle cure in the form of one supplement, it's good to have the tiny doubts it raises squashed.

21st Century scientific nutrition

Science before marketing, all the topics to date have been fascinating and informative. I’ve read books by Tim Spector and Will Bulsiewicz, all very readable science. Their interest in the microbiome points the way to the medicine of the future. I could listen to both all day.
I look forward to further podcasts.

Essential information

It is staggering how we as consumers are being misled and that food producers get away with adding so much rubbish to our food and so cynically add compounds that create addictions and health risks.
These podcasts, together with Tim Spector’s books are real eye openers.

Good information, annoying posh voices!

Just listened to the programme about vitamins, and was amazed that the fact that BAME people deaths from covid were over represented and a link was made to lack of vitamin D. The advice given about vitamin D was clearly targeted at white people/those living in sunny climates. Those of us with melanin living in UK don't absorb enough vitamin D from sunshine. And if also a vegan then surely supplements should be taken? Also, there is an issue with absorption of vitamin D supplements. Even though I take supplements, my levels are still low. Why no research into why people of colour seem to not absorb vitamin D as a supplement?

If you are a female you need to hear this

The reports were skewed. The press coverage was incorrect. Millions of women have missed out on treatment. They included the data on much older females in the reports which affected the percentages.
HRT is safe. Go get some. Enjoy your life x

Excellent information

An excellent overview of fermented food. Would like to know more about the effects of salt in fermented foods on the body, particularly for people that have heart disease. Are fermented foods with salt ok for those people? Always excellent information, clearly presented.
