Do you know what’s really in the food you buy from the supermarket?

Well, after watching this new three-part series, presented by Sian Williams and Stefan Gates, you might not want to!

In this first episode, Sian investigates so-called healthy foods, revealing the truth about the artificial additives in gluten-free products, calorie-loaded convenience breakfast foods, and how ‘fresh’ apples can actually be stored for up to a year before they reach the supermarket shelves.
