Summary
In this episode, Prof. Nita Forouhi (University of Cambridge) and Prof. Michael Lean (University of Glasgow) explore the science behind nutrition, weight loss and type 2 diabetes remission. They discuss the role of ultra-processed foods, meat consumption and the importance of whole-food, minimally processed diets. The conversation highlights groundbreaking research showing that substantial, intentional weight loss can reverse type 2 diabetes by reducing fat in organs like the liver, pancreas, and heart, restoring insulin sensitivity and pancreatic function. They also tackle how to communicate evidence-based messages amid a flood of misinformation, and the importance of patient-centred research and guidance for real-world diabetes prevention and remission.
