Forget all those Daily Mail headlines about tomatoes/immigrants/Princess Diana causing cancer, cos starting tomorrow, BBC2 will finally reveal The Truth About Food. Well, thank heavens for that, eh?
Using original tests on volunteers, the six-part series apparently reveals the ‘real science’ behind the food we eat and what it does to our bodies.
But what’s all this got to do with D+CFilm? Well, in the first programme, foxy Fiona Bruce finds out how you can reduce cholesterol and blood pressure without using drugs.
She does this by locking nine willing volunteers in an enclosure in Paignton Zoo (well, obviously!). The volunteers all had high blood pressure and cholesterol and most had a family history of heart disease.
However, after living beside the apes and eating their diet their cholesterol and blood pressure was dramatically reduced. Gosh.
Unfortunately, the volunteers also started to spend their days masturbating furiously into their hands and throwing the mess at passers-by. Well, that’s not actually true, but it would’ve been a lot more interesting than watching a buncha flabby coffin-dodgers bothering some bemused looking apes. We ask you, is this progress?! Evolution is proper overrated, ain’t it?
