It's a trillion dollar industry.

So start from that kind of overview to try and help explain what's going on and why this confusion is happening and why the battle is happening.

And then you can make your own decision who you trust more.

But also the most important thing is to try and give people information in a way they can understand.

We'll get there in a second.

So what happened in the case?

So we have this kind of defamatory attack on us.

But what made the story was the Secretary of State for Health getting involved.

Now, interestingly, one week earlier, just before this news story broke, I was speaking in Parliament about type 2 diabetes reversal and the benefits, for example, of a low-carbohydrate real food diet for that purpose.

Matt Hancock had agreed to meet me.

He was aware of my work because of another politician who had lost 94 pounds from following my diet plan.

No, that was the editor of the, of the, of the actual, of the, um, of the newspaper.

So Hancock, all Hancock was involved in the story because he had basically said he'd been contacted by the mail on Sunday and said, there were these doctors saying this, do you have a, can you give us a comment?

And he gave a generic comment saying there's no place for this misinformation.

Right.

And that it looked as if he knew who we were and we were.

So I met Matt Hancock a week before I gave him a copy of my book.

He was very respectful, very appreciative of what I'm doing and lifestyle and gave my lecture in parliament, which got a lot of attention, by the way, as well, which may have been the reason why they decided to suddenly do this.

You know, the new story is like, okay, we're getting something that's challenging our views on cholesterol, on low fat diets or whatever.

So that was probably the peg because that was getting a lot of attention to then come back and have a go at me and two other people.
