British GP Dr David Oliver works in the NHS (National Health Service) at the Freshwell Health Centre. It’s a dispensing practice of seven doctors who provide medical services to about 7,000 patients living in the mainly rural area surrounded by the conurbations of Braintree, Great Dunmow and Haverhill and a longstanding close relationship with their local community. The Centre runs the innovative Freshwell Low Carb Project that grew out of concern about the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes over the last few years, alongside the widely reported rapid increase in obesity in the UK population. Dr Oliver says there is now strong evidence that these increases are linked to the large amounts of sugar, starchy carbohydrates and processed food that we, as a society, consume.
