About the expert

Focus: Evidence base of dietary guidelines

Dr. Zoe Harcombe is a nutrition researcher and author who holds a PhD in public health nutrition. She is known for her peer-reviewed analysis of the evidence base behind the original 1977 and 1983 US and UK dietary guidelines, finding insufficient clinical trial evidence to support the saturated fat and dietary cholesterol caps introduced at that time. She has published widely on evidence-based nutrition policy.
