Veronika Powell MSc, Health Campaigner, Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation & Viva!
Diabetes is spiralling out of control with 3.3 million cases just in the UK this year. Hear about the secrets of the only diet that can prevent or reverse diabetes. The VVF’s D-Diet has the power to change your metabolism and reverse diabetes. It can also minimise your chances of developing the disease. As proved by clinical trials, this diet produces better results than any single medication.
 Noon-12.45pm: Why You Don’t Need Dairy
Juliet Gellatley, Founder and Director, Viva! and Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation and Nutritional Therapist
Is it natural to consume milk after weaning? Indeed, is it safe to consume cow’s milk at all? Juliet explores the many health issues and new research showing why dairy is linked to cancers; how natural growth hormones in milk affect us and what are the dangers of milk protein and saturated fats? Also, if we don’t consume dairy where should we get calcium?

Tony Wardle, Associate Director, Viva!; author of Diet of Disaster

Mood Food
Juliet Gellatley, Founder and Director, Viva! and Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation and Nutritional Therapist
Four fifths of the UK population claim to be low on energy. Even more say they become impatient too quickly. Our nation takes over 800 million anti-depressants pa. There are many factors involved but when you are feeling low, anxious or irritable, or your memory isn’t what it should be, do you ever question the role of your diet?
Juliet explores the role of food in our mood. She explains what nutrients are needed to make ‘happy hormones’, good munchies for motivation and the best brain boosters. She explains why meat and dairy can drag you down and fruit can make you well, fruity! A fascinating insight into the impact of food on mind and soul!
2.30pm-3.15pm:

Juliet Gellatley (BSc Zoology and Dip Nutrition), Founder and Director, Viva! and Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation
