I am fed up hearing of economic “growth” measured BTW by the flawed metric GDP! Hard times require channeling a nation’s resources into sustainability driven by education, health & infrastructure. @TheGreenParty @UKLabour @Conservatives when will you act? @TheBMA @VeniceForum

Gov plans to permit destruction of nature habitats is UK equivalent of trashing the Amazon rainforest; all in the ridiculous cause of GDP “growth” rather than stability @RSPBEngland is right to fight! @VeniceForum @medicalwomenuk @TheBMA @GreenAllianceUK

Using the DAP (a measure containing 14 items) we could identify who had an 80% chance of pregnancy in the next 12months - useful information if you want to recruit a preconception cohort! @PreconceptionUK @UCL_IfWH @p3_study
Delighted to share the first publication from the P3 study. We evaluated the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale and found it to be a valid and reliable measure that is highly predictive of pregnancy in the next 12months bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/7… @UCL_IfWH @ANSIRH

📣#breastfeeding could prevent an estimated 800K deaths of children under the age of 5 and 20K breast cancer deaths among mothers each year.
🚨Formula milk companies disregard recommendations and run advertising that mischaracterizes scientific findings🚨
#worldbreastfeedingweek
Formula milk marketing represents one of the most underappreciated risks to the health of infants & children. @HelenClarkNZ @DrTedros write that it’s time to stop infant formula marketing practices that endanger our children.

Multi buy deals not only target nutritionally poor foods, but also increase spending, affecting low income families more often
Multi-buy ban is Nanny State? Obesity destroys lives, livelihoods & economies. Understanding the science of causation should be a required attribute of policymakers @STOPObesity @ObesityAPPG @VeniceForum @TheBMA dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
