This pot has been stirred by faddish slimming-diet enthusiasts who sell books to the hopeful. Is this all听sad, mad or bad?

George Grimble is Emeritus Professor of Medicine in UCL Division of Medicine and has researched the intersection of nutrition with muscle, the gut, critical illness and food poverty.
