Professor Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth and Spoon-Fed, does not believe in miracle diets, but he has faith in the microbiome - the trillions of bacteria, viruses and fungi living in our gut, which as well as digesting food, also play a valuable role in regulating our immune system and our brain chemistry.
“We've now realised that food is the most important choice individuals can make for their health”, he says.
Stalker believes he’s a big fan of mushroom consumption too - not a bad cheerleader for the fresh produce.
