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.Follow Pixie Turner @pixienutrition on Instagram | Twitter | FacebookFollow Dr Nikki Stamp @drnikkistamp on Instagram | Twitter | FacebookEmail us with your questions inbadtastepodcast@gmail.com                                  Please don’t forget to give us a 5-star rating to help others find us Production music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com(Theme song is ‘Rookie Mistake’ by Fly Guy Five)Cover art is by Fine Print Food - @fineprintfoodThis week’s suggested readings:Cancer and diets from CRUK  JAMA Oncology - patients using complementary therapies twice as likely to die of their cancer  National Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Organisation (NACCHO) great article from Huffington Post on why Food is not medicine by Alan Levinovitz   Hosted on Acast.

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.

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.

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?

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.
