Clean eating dirty secrets
Well worth a watch if you have a spare 1/2 hour, great little documentary from the BBC regarding the clean eating and wellness phenomenon, and how little science knowledge the people behind it have. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07r1hnj/clean-eatings-dirty-secrets?suggid=b07r1hnj

'Why you can't blame your slow metabolism for piling on the pounds'
I know I know, its the Daily Fail BUT it popped up in a friends news feed so I read it and it's actually quite interesting so I thought I would share.
