EPHI - Environment and Public Health Institute

The Environment and Public Health Institute is a think tank that addresses the environmental and health threats of our time. We do so with the conviction that free enterprise, economic growth, new technologies and free choice are not threats to our environment and health, but rather a prerequisite for them.

EPHI - Environment and Public Health Institute
Gut bacteria have been linked to everything from obesity to depression—but how much do we really know? Gianluca Tognon, associate professor of public health sciences at the University of Skövde and leader of the MIND-GUT study, explains what the research says about the connection between the gut and the rest of the body. And above all: what should you eat and do to promote a healthier gut microbiome?---“Health for the Unhealthy” highlights perspectives on public health that rarely come up in the debate, but that many people wonder about. Can you eat a bag of chips a day without gaining weight? Is it better to be an active exerciser and overweight than to be sedentary and thin? Should I smoke e-cigarettes or use snus? Should you cut out meat and sugar—or neither? Experts come together to answer the questions they don’t usually get asked. And politicians try to figure out what they actually want to achieve—and how. “Health for the Unhealthy” is hosted by Dr. Vincent Amble-Naess and EPHI’s Communications Manager Nicolina Söderqvist. ---The Environment and Public Health Institute (EPHI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank and forum that addresses the environmental and health challenges of our time.
