Is the government and food industry sneaking into your yoghurt and piling it high with sugar cubes? Not exactly. ‘That Sugar Film’ loves a sweet conspiracy theory but we just like the science.

Don’t panic yet - sugar may not be the best thing in the world but it’s not a controlled substance either. This week we’re discovering whether sugar is particularly good at causing weight gain, acne and hyperactivity.

People will get mad because we’re going to spend the entire episode telling you why food is not medicine. Doesn’t mean it isn’t important but this rhetoric is getting way too much air time recently, forming the basis of ‘The Magic Pill’ so let’s discuss why this statement is grossly unhelpful.

If we had a dollar for every time someone said ‘bUt SaTuRatED fAt AcTuAllY iSn’T tHAt bAd’, we wouldn’t need ads in our podcast episodes. ‘The Magic Pill’, this month’s film, likes to get greasy and extoll the miracle nature of fats. But should you be adding coconut oil to every meal or is there a better way to do it? (Spoiler alert: do not add coconut oil to every meal, there is a better way)

Hello wonderful listeners! We’re back and we’re not wasting any time getting to the bottom of Pete Evans’ ‘The Magic Pill’. This week, the ketogenic diet - is it as magical as this film wants you to believe?
We had some technology drama while recording this, so please forgive us for not having quite the same high standard of audio that we usually do today.

It’s our last episode on The Goop Lab and for the final hurrah, things get weird. Like really weird because we’re energy healing apparently. Prepare to hear about some guy who can control your body without even touching you or telling you to. It’s a wild ride.

Being terrified of ageing seems to be common fodder for wellness wankers, including The Goop Lab. This week, Gwynnie tries to tell us we can reverse age or something, and botox is bad. But is it legit or is just hard to tell who’s lying because of all the filler?

It’s an important topic - women’s sexuality and the gender gap in orgasms. Any publicity is good publicity, right? The question is, does The Goop Lab get this right? Sadly after we recorded this episode, Betty Doson passed away, so when you listen, give her a big thanks for all her work.

We did it, we watched The Goop Lab. And we’re sorry that we did because this week, Paltrow focusses on Wim Hof, a Dutch extreme athlete who wants everyone to breathe strangely and swim in frozen water for health. And we’re obviously, a little bit skeptical.

Watching ‘What The Health’ was our bad place. But this film has been cited in many office lunch rooms and is still popular, despite its glaring inaccuracies. So we ask why this is the case (and whinge a lot about this film).

We’re back again with ‘What the Health’ and we’re still suffering from watching this film. This week, we’re taking on the film’s most famous claim - are eggs as bad for you as cigarettes. Sadly though, this isn’t even the stupidest thing they say.
