With the exponential rise of the Keto snack market, some even making it onto the precious mainstream supermarket shelf spaces, aren’t we in danger of corrupting the message of these life saving diets and going down the same path of processing natural ingredients to the point of ‘frankenfood’. It is snacking that has contributed to …
Dr Paul Mason – An Info Packed Podcast
I usually make a point of reading, watching or listening to everything from Dr Paul Mason as he has an enviable knack of explaining metabolism in a way that non - experts can understand. However, I had avoided this podcast for a while as it has been unfortunately labelled as an 'ultimate carnivore' podcast, which …
Food In England by Dorothy Hartley
With so much nutrition science evolving virtually every day, I am constantly disturbed by the fact that when it comes to what we put in our mouths, we have clearly lost our way.

Serious Keto – A Wake Up Call
There are many blogs and YouTube channels out there that show miraculous results from people who have improved their health, lives and even careers through adopting a low carb/keto lifestyle, but none that I have seen or read have shared the lead-up to this decision in such a moving, honest and open way. I hope …

Vitamin K2 Revisited
Back in March I published a post entitled A New K On The Block covering the work of Dr. Kate Rhéaume-Bleue and her book Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox. She was inspired by the research of Weston A Price in the 1930's when he described the vitamin as Activator X. Here, published three hours …

Mug Muffin Or Mug Cake? – Why Not Both
The versatile mug cake has been around for a long time now and even the mass produced packaged versions seem to have come and gone, which is no great loss considering the vast amount of carbs and chemicals in them. But they are certainly not dead in the world of low carb and there are …
Diabetes & Halitosis – Study Suggests That Mouthwash May Not Be The Answer
According to Diabetes.co.uk diabetes can make people more susceptible to halitosis. In people with diabetes, high blood sugar levels increase glucose levels in saliva providing food for bacteria in the mouth. But according to a recent study, those turning to mouth rinses to combat bad breath such as those containing Chlorhexidine, may be unwittingly increasing their blood …
