ZOE Science & Nutrition · How to reduce your heart disease, dementia and cancer risk with 12 everyday high-fibre foods | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall & Prof Sarah Berry · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

It's like top trumps for fiber, chia seeds beat an apple.

And it kind of doesn't because the apple's got a beautiful package with all the water that helps you digest it.

It's got different fiber in the skin than it has in the flesh of the apple.

And having said that, nuts, seeds, whole grains, great ingredients.

But don't think that they're the shortcut that means you don't need the fresh fruit and vegetables because somehow you've got these magically high fiber ingredients here.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are a brilliant package.

I'm with you on that.

How many people do any of us know who are suffering from a protein deficiency?

I think the protein craze is a gym bro thing.

It's actually, it's about acquiring a certain type of body and it isn't necessarily always a healthy one.

There is a literal recipe for getting ripped, which is time at the gym plus very low carb, high protein diet produces a particular amount

low fat body shape that some people think is very desirable that does not represent gut health it does not represent overall health it's a body shape and i think people have extrapolated from that so that people who actually aren't even that bothered about their body shape are grabbing high protein bars uh off the shelf thinking it's doing them some kind of good

And I'm happy to hear you say that, Sarah.

I've just expressed a slightly kind of, not necessarily irrational, but a fairly strong prejudice.

And I'd now love you to give me the fantastic scientific backup.

Yeah, because you're starting to tell yourself that a carrot's got too much carb or a whole grain has got too much carb.

So these things that have got loads of good things that are healthy foods are being struck off your list in favor of more protein that you don't really need.

I'm still an omnivore.

I mean, I've written books about fish and meat separately, quite big tomes on each of them.

But overall, I've written a lot more about eating plants, some of that more recently.
