Top 10 NHS dietary advice FAILS (from a doctor)

Dr Philip Bosanquet | August 4, 2023

The NHS dietary guidelines are not fit for purpose (in my opinion).

Buy The Concise Nutrition and Lifestyle Guide: https://www.bosanquethealth.com/book-… (available worldwide via Amazon).

Visit Bosanquet Health: https://www.bosanquethealth.com The 10 fails are:

10. Approaching healthy eating / nutrition from a calories-in vs calories-out energy balance focus (failing to take into account Leptin).

9. Basing meals on starchy carbohydrates (failing to understand the root cause of insulin resistance, number one driver of obesity and chronic disease).

8. Minimising fat intake (due to it’s calorie density).

7. Promoting seed oils (vegetable oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil) as healthy, whilst stating saturated fat is bad / causes cardiovascular disease (papers on this are listed below, see also video on animal fat:    • Why ANIMAL FAT is the ultimate SUPERF…   ).

6. Advising people not to delay or skip meals, including breakfast (failing to appreciate time restricted eating / intermittent fasting).

5. Advice of healthy snacks.

4. Advice on artificial sweeteners as a substitute for sugar.

3. No mention of the gut microbiome, of organic food being better for humans and the environment than non-organic food, of minimally processed or unprocessed foods in preference to overly processed foods, or the quality or nutritional density of food choices.

2. Switching from full cream / full fat / whole milk to semi skimmed / reduced fat milk to help kids lose weight (!). Failing to take into account fat soluble vitamins including vitamin D.

1. Some of the recipe examples given.

  1. Calling salt a poison is one the craziest – with no salt we die

    and cant make sodium bicarbonate to neutralise the HCL before it enters the duodenum but also with no salt we cant even make HCL to start the process of digestion in the stomach.

    There is no salt in food unless it is added eg as in processed food . No salt will create endless problems even high blood pressure and heart attacks . Salt should be balanced by potassium which will push any excess out with magnesium pumping the potassium into the cell – most sodium is extracellular . Calcium should be ok if you take dairy .

    No salt will cause terrible heartburn since there would be no sodium bicarb see dr batmangelid book ‘ you body’s many cries for ware’ AND salt – sodium chloride .
