Bacon and sausages • 2016 • episode "S1E4" Food: Truth or Scare

Category: Astronomy | Torrent: | Subtitle:

In this episode, they investigate whether we should really be giving up bacon and sausages, after new research suggested they're bad for us. The programme explores why eggs, for years demonised as unhealthy, are now firmly back in fashion and apparently now about as healthy as you can get. Could butter or dripping be next? Plus why white bread isn't necessarily as unhealthy as assumed.
