That got your attention ! Maybe not for the squeemish and certainly not a new diet, but completed by Dr Michael Mosley of 5.2 diet fame

On BBC 4 at 2100 tonight, MM infests himself with parasites, including tapeworms

"infested, living with parasites"

Def a eeewww programme

    Maria Callas allegedly did this - it was supposed to be responsible for her transformation... Not sure I'd be willing to go that far!

    He should know better than to do that! There are a number of dangers to having a tapeworm in the body.

    I might watch it though... :)

    Im going to be watching this tonight on iplayer when my mother gets home, I have liked his previous programs and had a bit of interest on his 5-2 diet.[not done it but still]

    Should be interesting from a science perspective, but otherwise it does sound a bit eww
