Description

Investigative reporter Michael Moss has spent many years uncovering just what it is about processed and fast food that makes it so hard for many of us to resist.
This is the final podcast of three that I am doing in conjunction with the  International Food addiction Consensus conference held on 17th May.
Michael says he now believes from his decades of research, that particular combinations of  flavour, texture, fat, protein and carbohydrates can create food that has the potential to be addictive.
Author of two best sellers about the food industry, the most recent being : Hooked: How The Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions. Michael argues that the evidece is in and change is badly overdue.

This fortnightly podcast reveals the stories from the world of medicine that others don’t, won’t or only very partially report. Aimed at both doctors and the public, it’s hosted by award winning medical journalist and former BBC producer Liz Tucker, who reports not just on the science but on the finance and money that can impact it. Liz asks what does the medical data actually tell us and why is this often interpreted and presented very differently? How do we know what information to trust and when should we ask our GP, but what’s the evidence?
