Today, scientists are investigating an assortment of potential disease drivers, including

* diet rich in red meat & sugar

* alcohol intake

* the gut microbiome [diet, again]

* antibiotics

* delivery by cesarean section

* obesity [diet & exercise]

Cao’s team, for example, has linked drinking sugar-sweetened beverages to an increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer in women. Her group and others have also reported a connection between the disease and people with metabolic syndrome (which can include conditions like high blood pressure and excess belly fat) as well as those who eat a Western diet, among other factors.

Other teams have pointed out alterations in the gut microbiome in people with early-onset disease.

“Think about that:

* exercise

* sunshine/vitamin D

* Omega-3s (see sources below)

can reduce your cancer risk by 60%. None of these interventions, by any means, break the bank. So, if this is your first time hearing this bit of information, it’s likely no mere coincidence.”

Salad Mixture, 1817

* 2 cups of white wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons of salt
* 3 egg yolks
* 1.5 tablespoons of mustard
* 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil

(I would exclude eggs & oil, trying one of these thickeners instead.)

Combine the vinegar with the salt and bring to a simmer, removing any scum that may appear if any. Separately in a bowl run your egg yolks through a fine sieve. To this add the mustard and olive oil. Mix together very well. After allowing the vinegar to simmer for 10 minutes, reduce your heat to low then pour in the above prepared egg, mustard and oil mixture. Stir frequently till it is the consistency of cream. Remove from your heat and bottle up once cold. Be sure to give it a good stir or shake when you are ready to enjoy it, as like most oil and vinegar dressings it does separate.

It’s official; there are now more fat people than skinny people in the world. Obesity is the biggest health crisis on the planet. For the first time in history children are facing shorter lives than their parents.

Over the last 35 years, obesity rates have more than doubled, leading to a massive and rapid increase in heart disease, kidney problems, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. How did we go from obesity rates of 9% to 30% in less than a generation?

Presented by overweight and diabetic Chef Simon Gault, these documentary examines the science behind a re-examination of traditionally accepted health advice, and the emergence of new evidence that at last makes sense of the looming health problems we face.

Gault talks to experts from around the world and allows himself to be a human guinea-pig in an attempt to improve his own health.
