Gloria Hunniford and Chris Bavin get to the bottom of worrying reports that claim some of our favourite foods aren’t just bad for us, but could even be dangerous. Gloria sends off her own roast potatoes to be tested to discover if it’s really true that cooking starchy food at high temperatures can cause cancer, and Chris has to face up to scientific evidence that some fresh fruit is actually better for you after it’s been frozen. Danny Crates investigates claims that ready meals can be better for you than a home-cooked meal. Show less
