Description

Chris and Xand are doctors, scientists and identical twins. Well, not quite identical. Xand is 20kg heavier, clinically obese, and has a Covid induced heart condition. The reason Xand is overweight is the same reason that most of us in the UK are overweight: Ultra Processed Food or UPF. It’s the main thing that we now eat (and feed to our children), but most of us have never heard of it. It’s addictive, highly profitable and the main cause of the global obesity pandemic. It’s destroying our bodies, our brains and the environment.

Chris and Xand have the same genes but the largest weight difference of any twin pair studied in the UK. What happened? They speak to friend and geneticist Dr Giles Yeo to begin to understand the origins of Xand's (and everyone else's) size. How much is destiny, how much might we be able to control?
