Nutrition news
Food, diet patterns and what the latest studies say about eating well.
What this desk covers
The nutrition desk follows research and guidance on food and diet: macronutrients and fibre, ultra-processed food, popular eating patterns, supplements and food labelling. The aim is to translate headline-grabbing findings back into what they actually mean for a normal plate.
Recurring themes here include protein and satiety, the real evidence on sugar and sweeteners, whether the latest "superfood" holds up, and how to read a nutrition study without falling for a single scary statistic.
Fresh Nutrition items are added as credible reporting appears. The background below applies whenever you read on this topic.
How to read nutrition news
Whatever the headline, weigh it before you act on it. These are the checks this desk uses.
| Trust it more when it is… | Be wary when it is… |
|---|---|
| A large randomised trial or systematic review | A single small study or one person's anecdote |
| The effect size in real terms | A scary relative risk with no absolute numbers |
| Done in humans | Only mice or cells, but sold as human advice |
| Peer-reviewed in a named journal | A press release or an unsourced claim |
| Fits the wider body of evidence | A lone result that supposedly overturns everything |
