🌿“Eat 30 different plant foods a wk”: catchy, but is it evidence-based?
Our new scoping review finds:
🟢No standard definition of plant food diversity
🟢Most studies focus on fruits & veg diversity only
🟢Limited evidence on gut health

Delighted to present for the first time the dietary guidelines for the management of chronic constipation at the Nutrition Society Winter conference. #NSwinter25
These are the first evidence-based dietary guidelines in constipation based on 4 systematic r/v & meta-analyses.
Paper coming soon!
📽️In this video, I talk about our new nutrition study on plant food #diversity and its impact on gut and cardiometabolic health, and why it is so needed.

Thrilled to share that Prof Whelan and I have been awarded £1.5m from BBSRC @kingslsm.bsky.social.
We'll do a RCT to investigate if increasing the diversity of plant-based foods in the diet optimises gastrointestinal & cardiometabolic health.
