Unbelievably both the Daily Mail and Channel Four are planning more 'health advice' from Michael Mosley, the man who died prematurely on holiday after following that very advice on how to live longer.
Today’s Daily Mail front page feature’s Michael Mosley with the headline: "Take Michael Mosley’s Just One Thing Challenge and Supercharge Your Health."
What, like he did?
Michael Mosley was a tv presenter, journalist and former GP whose entire television career revolved around telling people how to live longer, something that he failed spectacularly to do himself, and putting into question everything he's ever said.
Mosley, remember, is dead. He died some 13 YEARS before average from what was said to be 'natural causes'. i.e. his health. He didn't die of foul play, or the result of some accident, it was specifically his lack of good health that killed him.
Dr Michael Moseley died at the age of just 67, not even reaching the UK average of 80.7. In fact, he did even worse than the average Glaswegian, said to be UK’s most unhealthy person, who can at least reach 71. For a supposed expert on 'longevity' to die over a decade before the average is pretty spectacular.
His death, was sudden, unexpected and happened when all he was doing was taking an afternoon stroll whilst on holiday. The media attempted to suggest that Mosley was on some gruelling hike and somehow overcome by extreme heat and exhaustion. But in reality he was just minutes away from his hotel, on a casual sightseeing walk and had popped into a shop only a few minutes before he died.
However, his death didn’t seem to raise the obvious questions that some thought it should. Namely, why would you continue to take health advise from this man when his death proved that it was useless, or even deadly?
Mosley built an entire brand around the 5:2 Plan, a fad diet that promoted intermittent fasting as some sort of cure-all. Clearly, for Mosley at least, that wasn’t the case. It didn’t help him live any longer and could well have contributed to killing him. He was reportedly famous for experimenting on himself, so we know he practiced what he preached at least.
The TV doctor was also a strong advocate for the Covid shot, telling viewers to take it even after it was known that people were dying. Mosley’s death on a greek island looked to some like he’d been killed by the 'safe and effective' product he so vitriolically promoted.
One thing that is definite is that Mosley died very young due to poor health. Despite being a TV doctor advocating for medical advancements to prolong life, his early death suggests that all the guidance and pseudo-science he promoted was, at best, ineffective and, at worst, what killed him. His advice is worthless, his death the ultimate proof of that. Avoid it and you'll live longer.
