Summary
- Gout, a Victorian illness, is making a comeback in the UK with a 960% increase in cases in one area.
- The rise in gout cases is linked to the availability of foods high in fat, sugar, and salt.
- Malnutrition cases have also increased, leading to concerns about the “hunger-obesity paradox.”
- The cost of living crisis has contributed to poor diets and an increase in Victorian-era diseases.
