We at The BMJ care about food, and if our listener stats are to be believed, so do you.

In this podcast we talk to a few of the authors of a new series, published next week on bmj.com, which tries to provide some insight into the current state of nutritional science - where the controversies lie, where there’s broad agreement, and the journey of our understanding of nutrition.

The open access fees for those articles has been paid for by Swiss Re - a wholesale provider of reinsurance, insurance and other insurance-based forms of risk transfer - they have not had any input into the editorial process, which has gone through the same peer review as any of our other analysis articles. Swiss Re are also co-hosting a conference where we’ll be bringing together a lot of these researchers - and which will be live streamed next week - you’ll be able to access that for free on bmj.com
