S.3 Ep.18 - Sugars, Sweeteners & Metabolic Damage. With Mark Bennett BSc
Today I was joined by Mark Bennett, a highly qualified Nutritional Therapist. The plan was to talk about sugars and artificial sweeteners, which we did. But then we got into so much more. Sometimes it got quite technical and we went pretty deeply into chronic health conditions, food and how its eaten can affect them.
We spoke specifically about the diabetes epidemic, obesity - and how it’s become such a serious global health issue. I found it fascinating, and I hope you do too.

This episode has a focus on longevity. Today I teamed up with Professor Andy Lane to look at nutrition, exercise, sleep and social interaction and how they may be able to slow down the onset, or reduce the severity of dementia.
