Paul MasonGUEST
And I compared it to the NHMRC recommended diet.
Paul MasonGUEST
So this is a diet here that fits within their recommended macronutrient intake.
Paul MasonGUEST
I compared it to a typical high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, which I use for my patients.
Paul MasonGUEST
And I think you can see that the diet used in this study is far, far closer to a low-carbohydrate diet.
Paul MasonGUEST
It's almost opposite of the diet that's suitable and recommended by the NHMRC.
Paul MasonGUEST
So I just want to try and present a view of the totality of evidence here.
Paul MasonGUEST
So I'm going to present a series of meta-analyses.
Ginni MansbergHOST
That's a lot.
Ginni MansbergHOST
And the National Health and Medical Research Council says that four standard drinks in a single day is a binge and associated with all sorts of bad health outcomes.
Ginni MansbergHOST
So you don't want to be doing that.
Ginni MansbergHOST
Even if you went through a bottle of wine on your own in, let's say, three nights, you're still, don't forget it's 750 mils divided by three is 250 mils.
Beth SheltonHOST
Scott's research covers body image, muscle dysmorphia, eating disorders, anabolic steroid use, cosmetic procedures, weight and appearance stigma, and the role of social media algorithms.
Beth SheltonHOST
He's held research fellowships since 2013 and has attracted around $4 million in competitive funding research, including from the NHMRC, the Medical Research Future Fund and the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Beth SheltonHOST
Scott's received 14 national and international research awards, including the Association for Psychological Sciences Rising Star Award and the Victorian Young Tall Poppy of the Year, which is a really amazing name for a reward, being a tall poppy.
Beth SheltonHOST
Interesting.
Tom ElliottHOST
But there is a study out of China that says that high levels of fluoride in the water supply lead to lower IQs.
Tom ElliottHOST
Anyway, the National Health and Medical Research Council wants to reopen the debate on fluoride in the water supply.
Tom ElliottHOST
Now, I thought this had been well and truly settled decades ago that by putting a small amount of fluoride in our drinking water, everybody would have bitter teeth.
Tom ElliottHOST
And in fact, these days, you know, the rate of people losing their teeth at a young age has gone down dramatically, although diet is not helping that.
Tom ElliottHOST
But these days with fluoride in the water supply, that is unusual.
Tom ElliottHOST
Anyway, it's up for grabs again.
Tom ElliottHOST
The National Health and Medical Research Council wants to re-look at whether or not fluoride should be in the water supply.
Tom ElliottHOST
What do you think? 133693, mornings at 3aw.com.au.
John StanleyHOST
And I've just had a quick story that's popped up.
John StanleyHOST
The National Health and Medical Research Council, got to be careful with these stories.
John StanleyHOST
They're going to review the nation's guidelines for fluoride in drinking water.
John StanleyHOST
Now, I know some of you are in areas where there isn't fluoride in the drinking water, but there have been some studies linking parental exposure to lower intelligence in children.
Ross WalkerHOST
As founder of the Trans-Catheter Heart Valve Program at Royal Prince Alfred, he's established a program that has set benchmarks for excellence in clinical outcomes on an international level.
Ross WalkerHOST
Notably, Professor Ng has pioneered firsts in minimally invasive treatment of heart disease, synergistic to his clinical interest, Martin also heads a National Health and Medical Research Council-supported bench-to-bedside biomedical research program, and this seeks to address unmet patient needs by developing new treatments for heart disease.
Ross WalkerHOST
Professor Ng is also the head of translational research and bioengineering at the Heart Research Institute and has won numerous awards for research and innovation.
Ross WalkerHOST
His invention of an expandable seal to stop leaks around percutaneous heart valves was awarded first place in the Stanford Biodesign Innovation, Stanford University, California, in the US, of course, and has been met with international acclaim, and so it should.

Mark BrownGUEST
And so I went to the UK for that year.
Mark BrownGUEST
I had won an NHMRC scholarship, which sounds really great, but it was $12,000 Australian dollars for a year in the UK.
Karl FaaseHOST
Oh,
Mark BrownGUEST
wow.
David LeitingerGUEST
So someone might be drinking 20 standard drinks a day.
David LeitingerGUEST
If they reduce that to 15, their harms will reduce, even though they haven't dropped under that threshold of what we might consider heavy drinking by, say, standard NHMRC guidelines.
David LeitingerGUEST
So the goal here is reduction because that's going to lead
speaker_3NARRATOR
to some degree of harm reduction.
Jeff DunnGUEST
So the, these guidelines were all about how do we improve early detection of prostate cancer in our country, and how do we downstage this disease to improve outcomes for prostate cancer? So I'm delighted to say that we're just recently...
Jeff DunnGUEST
In fact, it was, well, it was approved in May, and we officially launched in August this year, Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council approved guidelines, uh, for early detection of prostate cancer, uh, which we believe are gonna make a significant difference.
Jeff DunnGUEST
So we're very much involved right now in the process of, of dissemination, of translating those into clinical practice, 'cause primary care is critical, you know, for prostate cancer and making sure that the messages are out there, making sure that general practitioners and those in primary care understand what the evidence says, what the evidence tells us to do in terms of actions clinically, and then how we comply with those to ensure the best possible outcome.
Jeff DunnGUEST
So that's been terrifically Exci- exciting for me.
