I am keen supporter of the aims of the Public Health Collaboration (PHC), who initiated the report, which came out a few days ago, and, like many of you, I have been a bit confused by the connection with NOF. I've just emailed Sam Feltham, the PHC Director with my concerns and have had an almost immediate response,
"NOF approached the PHC in the run up to the publication of our report,
and as Dr. Aseem Malhotra is currently involved in both we thought it
would be a good match particularly with their established relationship
with the media already. They wrote a separate report "Eat Fat, Cut
Carbs, etc.", which is the one all the media were talking about, to link
to and compliment the PHC report on healthy eating and weight loss. We
think it gave the desired effect but this is where the relationship
ends, simply in a complimentary report. We remain independent and intend
to remain so indefinitely."
You can find links to the original PHC report and supporting graphics here, https://phcuk.org/healthy-eating-guidelines-weight-loss-advice-for-the-uk/
those of you who were (rightly) concerned about authorship, sponsors, references and so on, should find the information you want in this document. Please do give it a serious look, it's a team of right thinking people, trying their best to make things better for all of us.

Who wrote 'Eat fat, cut carbs'?
It has no author, and doesn't appear anywhere on NOF, only the PHC?
