Über diesen Titel

We tend to reduce food and health to bitesize nuggets of information, like calories or BMI. It’s understandable; numbers are easily digestible when we’re looking for answers or a quick fix. But the thing is, there’s a lot more to health – hey, there’s a lot more to life! – than the numbers you see on the back of a crisp packet or on the scales. Geneticist Dr Giles Yeo feels we need a bit more space to think about the relationship food has with our body, our mind, and even our soul!


Join Giles as he chews the fat with fellow foodies, scientists, and doctors. Across this series, he’ll be asking how our genes play a role in weight loss and gain, how our stomachs chat to our brains, and whether going on a run really means we can gorge on doughnuts when we get home...

    Ultra-processed food, with Drs Chris and Xand Van Tulleken
    Jul 27 2021

    What is it about ultra-processed foods that makes us both crave them and struggle to stop eating them once we’ve started? And how might our genes affect our desire for them? Presenters, doctors, and identical twins Chris and Xand Van Tulleken join Dr Giles Yeo to explain what they’ve learnt about the effect UPFs can have on the body through their own personal experiments.
