A tooth-mounted food sensor could wirelessly transmit radio frequency data about the foods you’re eating, reporting on sugar, salt, and alcohol in real-time. The creators, led by biomedical engineer Fiorenzo Omenetto of Tufts University, hope that the device will someday help consumers and researchers make “conclusive links between dietary intake and health.”

The vast majority of fruit juices will be banned from advertising aimed at children in a bid to cut down on juvenile obesity and tooth decay, the Government has proposed. Ads for all but the healthiest high-fibre breakfast cereals and most yoghurts should also be banned from ad breaks on children’s television, Public Health England has said.
Speaking about the recent pay deal announced between the NHS and its staff, BDA Chair Mick Armstrong said: "We welcome recognition that taking NHS pay restraint to the nth degree is not compatible with a sustainable workforce or patient access. Colleagues are now looking for a sign that government is willing to apply that logic to all parts of the health service.”
Jockey Paddy Brennan suffered a severe injury at Chepstow, when his horse, the eight year old Brynmawr smashed the teeth right out of his mouth. Amateur jockey, Sam Waley-Cohen, who runs the Portman dental practices came to the rescue and arranged a dentist at his Cheltenham branch to see the injured jockey, with an impressive result.
Public Health England has published new data, collected from 2014-16, detailing the state of the nation’s diet. Sugar made up around 14% of childrens’ daily calorie intake; the official recommendation is to limit sugar to no more than 5%. There has also been a reduction in sugary drinks consumption of around a third, compared with 8-10 years ago.

AFAIC Tony is up there with Martin Lewis. Indeed the GDPUK shortcut is right next to MSE at the top left of my shorctut toollbar. Without either, I would be much poorer and almost certainly not working here. I simply could not have got where I am today without this forum.
