  • Chip’n’ buttie

    Scottish mum bought her cooking with her. We had the same chip pot that the health dept would have closed down but those chips were the best.

    Thanks for clarifying the myths and misinformation about seed oils etc.

  • Evidence often conflated

    Norman Swann undermines the value of this Podcast by often cherry picking evidence without enough disclaimers such as lack of RCTs in humans and basing his narrative around animal studies whilst ignoring evidence that goes against it.

    The latest example was the episode on Creatine. Extremely disappointing.
