    #33 - The best way to take iron supplements and whose fault is UPF

    Send us a text In this episode I review some practical changes to the way we can prescribe/recommend our athletes take iron supplements. I then sit on the sidelines and enjoy the fighting between factions on the sides of the Ultra Processed Food safety/blame war and am very glad not to be in the line of fire and feel some empathy for those involved. We finish with some articles on weight loss with different carbohydrates, the impact of fibre on cancer risk and an older article on post menopausal muscle strength. This podcast is a lighthearted review of the medical literature and Dr Matheson has enormous respect for all scientific researchers and could not do a job as hard as theirs.
