Summary

Sadly, of the 6 billion tonnes of plastic waste produced since the 1950s, can you believe that just 9% has been recycled. Plastics are now found in the oceans’ depths, high up in the mountains, and even in polar regions. There is absolutely no escaping them! The question that we really ought to understand is whether it’s too late to reverse the effects of plastic pollution? So, joining me this week on Food For Thought to share how we can take on one of the biggest threats to nature is David Jones; environmentalist and founder of conservation charity Just One Ocean. It's an episode that reduced me to tears but I'm excited to help support their mission is to raise awareness of the issues facing our marine environments in order to protect and conserve them for future generations.

And this is something we talk about with our clients all the time in the clinic.

And that means that both twins could eat a sugary muffin and you know,

0:33.6

they would have a complete different response, which is fascinating.

0:36.2

And one could feel great and the other could feel that slump and the increased hunger due to

0:41.2

their different blood sugar responses. So, here we go.

0:44.5

Zoe's research found that the change in blood sugar and blood fat levels

0:48.8

can vary 10 fold from person to person. Then on top of that, identical twins only share a quarter

0:54.8

of their gut bugs, despite being genetically identical. So, basically, we're all different,

1:00.1

which is what we talk about all the time in the podcast, we're unique in how we respond to food
