The Menu: A knees-up in Dublin with Irish craft beer

The second outing for Wise Traditions Ireland (February 6-7), in Thomond Park, Limerick, offers another intriguing look at health and nutrition issues around food and their effect on conditions such as diabetes, weight loss and compromised immune function.

WISE WORDS

Hot topic, gut and psychology syndrome, is addressed by Natasha Campbell McBride while The Menu is particularly interested in hearing Nina Teicholz, author of the bestselling The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Cheese and Meat Belong in a Healthy Diet, an area that has seen much revisionism from health and nutrition experts in recent years (www.wapfmunster.com).
