So basically the food labels, which a vast effort are put onto all of these foods and which, you know, in many countries, right, the States or the UK included, talk about sort of saturated or unsaturated, are not necessarily really giving you any information that is helpful.
Is that what you're saying, Sarah?
And this is because you're lumping all of these different things together.
So you're saying like, well, somebody who's eating lots of animal fats, and I think you still think animal fats are not particularly healthy.
Is that right, Sarah?
That's really powerful advice, right?
That in general, thinking more about this as a food rather than as the set of numbers on the back.
And of course, all of this labeling, you know, I think it was still being done with good intent, right?
But actually isn't very helpful.

Mood and food are very tightly linked and the second biggest collection of nerves outside the brain is in our gut. We believe that quite a lot of anxiety and depression is actually caused by what's going on in your gut. Probiotics can have effects that are nearly as good as antidepressants, sometimes more. But so can a gut-friendly diet.

We should be, first of all, always thinking of what can I do through diet alone. If we can control the inflammation in our guts, then the whole of our immune system, whether it's attacking your thyroid or your knee joint, is going to be better controlled.
