Without going into detail again (as yesterday completely and utterly drained me) here are the links of what I've come across in the online media today:
Daily Mail - "Junk food blamed for soaring rate of Crohn's disease among young"
The Times - "Junk food and antibiotics blamed for rise in Crohn's disease among young"
The Telegraph - "Crohn's disease in teens jumps 300 per cent in 10 years fuelled by junk food"
And what was in this morning's Metro:
Good morning to you, Dr Mitton's lies. It's been so long!
I have a feeling that this will be ongoing; but hopefully in a positive way, and the backlash from IBDers is publicised as quickly as this misinformation spread.
I was having a conversation on Twitter last night and the point was raised in that surely the figures will have risen so dramatically due to more people being aware of symptoms...not being afraid to seek medical advice. But we all know what Dr Sally Mitton thinks.
So onto this evening where I am momentarily stepping away from the #junkfood madness and hoping, willing England to win against Uruguay.
COME ON BOYS!!!!
