Diet drinks are often seen as the “healthy” alternative to sugary soft drinks, but the science says otherwise. Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose don’t behave like neutral substitutes in the body. Their intense sweetness can confuse appetite regulation, sometimes increasing cravings later in the day. Emerging research also suggests they can alter the gut microbiome in ways that may affect glucose control, which is ironic, given many people choose diet drinks to reduce diabetes

I’m very excited to share that my new @channel4 series, What Not to Eat, airs tonight at 8pm! Ultra-processed food is everywhere. In our cupboards, our fridges, our kids’ lunchboxes, and increasingly, it’s being sold to us as healthy. In What Not To Eat, @lifeofdrkandi and I take a hard look at the foods many of us eat every day, including the so-called “low-fat”, “high-protein”, and “better-for-you” products that quietly dominate supermarket shelves. Each episode follows a real family dealing w

Tim Spector MSC FRCP MD FRSB OBE on Instagram: "I’m very excited to share that our second cookbook, Good Mood Food, is now available for pre-order! After the incredible response to The Food For Life Cookbook, it became clear that many of you wanted more practical recipes to support your gut health and help you feel better day to day. The idea for Good Mood Food grew from what we saw in @zoe’s research. When people start eating more varied, plant-rich foods, many notice changes to their mood with

Tim Spector MSC FRCP MD FRSB OBE on Instagram: "If you do one thing for your gut health this week, let it be eating 30 different plants. The magic number of 30 comes from research I was involved in with the American Gut Project (PMID 29795809). By looking at the microbiomes of tens of thousands of volunteers we saw that people who eat around 30 different plants every week have much greater microbial diversity than those who eat just 10. While 30 can seem like a lot, veg-packed recipes like this

Tim Spector MSC FRCP MD FRSB OBE on Instagram: "One of the questions I’m asked most often is what do I actually eat? I try to mix things up as much as possible for my gut health but breakfast usually remains the same. It’s quick, easy and packed with plants and probiotics for my gut health. A simple mix of yogurt, kefir, berries and as many nuts and seeds as I can manage from my diversity jar to get me to my 30 plants goal. Delicious! I hope you’ll try it."
