    Brave new world Preview - Tech and Science Daily
    2025/12/21

    On our sister podcast Brave New World, Host Evgeny Lebedev is joined by Professor Tim Spector and Dr Federica Amati — two of the leading scientific voices behind personalised nutrition company ZOE — to rethink everything we’ve been told about food. From the myths around “good” and “bad” fats to calorie-counting obsessions, they explain why so much nutritional advice is outdated, oversimplified, and in some cases actively harmful. They also explore the impact of ultra-processed foods on gut health, question whether breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, and unpack how time-restricted eating could help optimise daily health.

    Here’s your special preview. To hear the full episode, just search Brave New World Evening Standard on your podcast app.
