The Truth About...: Healthy Eating

SYNOPSIS

Fiona Phillips teams up with some of the UK's leading scientists to discover how we can eat and drink to good health - and finds some surprising truths about healthy eating.
We spend millions of pounds each year trying to be healthy, including filling up our grocery baskets with so- called "healthy choices." The promise of improving health is the ultimate marketing ploy. But are the "healthier choices" really any better for us than a packet of crisps or a can of pop and can the science behind this multi-million-pound business really back up the claims? Using the latest scientific knowledge, this film debunks the fallacies that dictate our choices. Learn how multivitamin tablets have no effect whatsoever, and why our bodies' natural processes make detox products a complete waste of money. Whether exploring the fiction of 'superfoods' or the myths of mineral water, this documentary reveals the truth behind an issue that affects us all.
