Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the Royal College of Nursing on the relationship between carbohydrates and lung cancer.
No such discussions have taken place.
The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) published a report on carbohydrates and health in July 2015. The SACN was asked to review the evidence on carbohydrates and colorectal, metabolic and oral health; it did not consider evidence in relation to lung cancer. The SACN has no plans to review the evidence on carbohydrates and health again in the near future.
