Has Healthy Eating Gone Too Far? Fibre, Gummies & Hydration

When does an interest in healthy eating become something that's actually making life less healthy? This week, we talk about clean eating, guilt and health anxiety, as well as how to navigate meals out when you want to look after your health without slipping back into restriction.We also ask whether 90g of fibre a day could actually be too much, and whether very high fibre intakes can interfere with nutrient absorption. Plus, we investigate the mushroom and de-bloating gummies taking over social media and whether there's any evidence behind their claims.And for parents, is daily cacao okay for young children, and do chia seeds really need to be pre-soaked? Finally, if sugar-free squash is the only thing that gets you drinking enough water, is it really something you need to worry about?
