The Food Fraud Documentary Every Australian Is Talking About, the High-Protein Ham Scam, and What Strength Training Actually Means
About this episode
Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell discuss the implications of a food fraud documentary and misleading marketing in the Australian food industry.
Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell respond to the ABC Four Corners food fraud documentary, share their honest take on what it means for Australian consumers, and expose Primo's new High Protein Ham range as deeply misleading marketing. Plus: new research on xanthan gum and gut cancer risk, and the straight truth about why most women who think they are strength training are not doing nearly enough to build bone density or muscle mass.
