About this title

Synopsis

A bold look at how commercial agendas distort the real science behind health and fitness studies and misinform the public about how to live a healthy life.
 
Researcher Timothy Caulfield talks with experts in medicine, pharmaceuticals, health and fitness, and even tries out many of the health fads himself, in order to test their scientific validity, dispel the myths, and illuminate the path to better health.
