On Twitter I found no mention of todays prog
But I found a 2012 BBC page saying other stuff like
"Drying laundry in the home poses a health risk to those prone to asthma"Meanwhile in Canada science is progressing identifying a gut microbiota link
"Yeast found in babies’ guts increases risk of asthma"
imho Excessive cleanliness is next to asthmathliness

Satellite map of PM 2.5 distribution. The highest concentrations are from the Sahara east throughout the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, up to the Gobi. Industrial areas in the Americas and Europe don't show anything like the intensity.Conclusion: Don't buy the hype.
Conclusion 2, This has all the signs of an intentional scare.
Conclusion 3. Nobody has a handle on Asthma, don't believe anyone who says he has.
I don't, never did. I (and many born in UK 1940-1990) would be dead if PM/asthma/dirty-sea/etc scare stories were true.

@ST yes "the mammals live away from the sea, and none eats salt"
Ah yes on the repeat I heard that
Like you it made me distrust him
And then when he started with "Oh these big companies " conspiracy theories, I thought no this is not science
I want to see proper evidence and I want to see it tested.
And then he went on "of course sugar is evil"
'salt has killed thousands'
..that's tosh ..cos we all die
I am not convinced with people saying "of course salt is evil" and now "of course sugar is evil"
I want to away from these free-ride progs and go to back to progs like Home Planet where the panelists challenged each other
..I want a guy in the studio saying "don't Japanese have a high salt diet ? "don't eskimos have less than 5 a day"
I want him challenged on his cherry picking a tribe who appear to have long lives (the norm is they don't have birth certificates and look much older than they are , so assume they have long life.

"favourites" isn't something that I associate with Dr. Caldicot :-(
If you search on YouTube - you will be rewarded.
Having her on "A Life Scientific" would be a real treat. That's if the men in white coats don't fit her up with an "I love me" jacket with the arms secured at the back first.
imho her only present competition is Louise Mensch

tomo. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Moonbat's face - I only read about the spat in Wikki. I cannot be greedy and will delay such gratification for another day. I note that there are quite a few items on u-tube involving the good lady. Have you any special favourites?

I can tell you're impressed with Dr. Caldicott
- she's quite something when she warms to expounding her ideas about how people should live in her estimation - as in *nobody* needs refrigerators , or electricity (and a number of other things - but it's not healthy to revisit it all)
The words demented and harridan seem pitifully inadequate to describe the lady.
Her views on nuclear physics and radiation are simply quite boggling - and I'm not easily boggled. You are correct that she garners an extraordinary amount of funding - I did some trivial research (several times) and walked away as my indignation/disgust levels were dangerously high.
Moonbat's face was a picture in that interview eh?
A frightful deranged old bat - who actually attracts more of the same if the Hinckley Point meeting is any guide.

@Tomo thats a good Twitter to follow

@Tomo yes except on Climate AK doesn't try himself to construct narrative whereas Cox is all SJW
@ST We make mistakes and mis-speak.
but BBC gets £4bn/yr not to
If such things are let through then bbc are not doing job .. They'll be a researcher and producer listening as well.
Alki should scribble on pad and push across desk
@ST ah it wasn't Alki last time
It was @tracy_aze
"Can you please clarify that bit about the Tanzania sea reaching 40C
Sounds 'too wow to be true' ?
#InOurTime @BBCRadio4"
She sent me a report link but didn't address the 40C claim

tomo. I would like to see Dr Helen Caldicot interviewed by Jeremy Clarkson after he had been deprived of his steak dinner.

tomo I must have been living in a cave. The lady Dr Helen Caldicot has, until today, gone completely unnoticed by me. and yet what a busy, busy Aussi she has been, spawning anti-nuclear groups across the globe willi-nilli, some with acronyms that make you twitch. I read up on her on Wikki this afternoon, and the best thing for me was her spat with Moonbat. He claimed one of her many books lacked scientific content, and she, in turn, accused him of being duped by nuclear supporters propaganda just as others have by tobacco companies. This must have really struck home since Moonbat commonly levels this charge at climate change "deniers". Oh just desserts do come to those who wait!

Yep, I understood that first time. However, "universal" holiday no longer exists.
If you favour UK "universal" holiday, then it means everything is shut: TV, public-transport, shops, hotels, fast-food etc. What about police, fire, nhs, rnli - should they too have "universal" holiday?
"universal" holiday:- everyone sits at home bored - is that your desire?
Abolish the BHs and allow individuals to choose.
