Science doesn't matter if it stays locked away in academic journals. That's why we funded the public release of groundbreaking research from Oxford University that exposes the devastating link between ultra-processed foods and eating disorders.
The Research That Shook the Medical World
Dr Ali Ibrahim, my cycling companion and brilliant researcher, collaborated with Dr Agnes Ayton to produce what may be the most important eating disorder study of our generation.
Their paper, "The Western Diet: A Blind Spot of Eating Disorder Research," revealed something that shocked even seasoned medical professionals.
For fifty years, eating disorder researchers had missed a crucial piece of the puzzle. They focused on psychological factors whilst ignoring what was happening on our plates. The Oxford team discovered that 100% of binge foods fall into the NOVA-4 category, the most heavily processed foods imaginable.
