Here is what the page “Make Me Well by Xand van Tulleken – an eye-opening takedown of wellness myths” contains. The Guardian Lifestyle Oct 16, 2026 • 6:00 AM In Make Me Well, Xand van Tulleken—the TV doctor and twin brother of Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People—takes a critical look at the wellness industry, dismantling the spurious science behind popular supplements like collagen and turmeric. He begins with vitamin D, a supplement even the NHS recommends during autumn and winter to prevent deficiency and support bone health.
Van Tulleken recalls the early 2000s, when large studies linked vitamin D not just to bones but to cancer, heart disease, and dementia, creating a 'dizzying' range of potential benefits that fueled widespread enthusiasm. The book explores how such excitement often outpaces evidence, turning ordinary nutrients into modern-day snake oils. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
