In 2022, the investigative journalist Lucie Morris-Marr was in an intensive care unit, recovering from a 12 hour liver resection – a potentially curative treatment.

Protein is one of the big three nutrient groups the body needs to function properly: together with fats and carbohydrates, they form the basis of a healthy diet. It’s the main component of our muscle fibres, and is vital for a functioning heart, immune system and endocrine system – and it’s also a vital energy source.

In my experience, as someone who gets hot and sweats a lot (to the point that I avoid travelling on the hot London Underground as much as possible), I only feel really self-conscious about my smell when it comes to the classic areas: armpits, crotch, sometimes feet.

You have to feel for the hot cross bun. For years, it managed to avoid being dragged into the parade of novelty seasonal food items.

Ultra Processed Foods (UPFs) have recently been lambasted, named as the cause of most of our ills, from metabolic disease to increased inflammation to dementia. And it makes sense. UPFs are defined as products that have been processed and industrially refined in ways, and with ingredients, not possible for a home cook – their structure has been deliberately altered to make them shelf-stable and easy to eat.

It’s the middle-class equivalent of the Prime energy drink craze: Waitrose is even limiting customers to two bars per person. Dubai style chocolate – with its pistachio, tahini and kadayif pastry (filo pastry made into fine strings and used in knafeh, the Middle Eastern dessert) – has arrived in the UK. This week, Swiss chocolatier Lindt became the first international manufacturer to sell its own version in our supermarkets.

In a new column, we take a pressing health question and delve into the evidence with the help of leading experts. More than half of people in the UK are thought to have raised levels of cholesterol. It can lead to inflammation and plaque building in the arteries, and in turn heart and circulatory disease – the cause of a quarter of deaths in the UK, according to the British Heart Foundation.
