I think for a start, anyone who's watching the video, firstly, thank you for your wonderful kind words. That's a lovely introduction. I'm going to find it hard to live up to it, but I'll do my best.

Anyone who has any doubt about the effects of ultra-precious food need only look at the video feed for the podcast right now and sort of put Mark and my heads next to each other and go, that's four weeks of ultra-precious. I used to look like you.

I did it because my clinical work is I treat patients with complex infections at the Hospital for Tropical Disease in London, part of University College London Hospital. But my academic work is food systems and nutrition.

And the two are linked because many of my patients are from very low-income countries where we see that nutrient deficiencies and poor nutrition drives a huge number of poor health outcomes in the global north and in the global south. So there's an overlap. In fact, I did this experiment.

The experiment was, we filmed it for a BBC documentary, but the reason we did it, we got ethics approval because I was the first participant. I was the kind of pilot patient, if you like, in a big clinical trial that I think it's the largest randomized controlled trial of ultra-processed food versus minimally processed food in free-living subjects. And this is in process right now.

This is not published. This is in process. So I can't, we, I... Now, where are we? One of my students is leading it, and I think I can't talk about any of the data, but it will be the largest randomized controlled trial of UPF ever done so far in the world in free living individuals, and I think at all, because it will be the third published randomized controlled trial of UPF.
