If you’ve ever longed to see a dollop of
strong science ladled over food fads, this is for you. Cambridge
biologist Dr Giles Yeo looks at the idea – spread via cookbooks and
social media – that we can eat ourselves well; that if we give up gluten
or dairy or processed foods (or all the above) we can purify ourselves,
avoid disease and run a spiffing Instagram account.
He cooks with Ella Mills of Deliciously Ella fame who tells him the ‘clean’ idea has lost its way. ("Clean now implies dirty and that's negative.”) But Yeo also tests claims from US health gurus who at best stoke unnecessary fears and at worst claim they can cure cancer.

Summary
Dr Giles Yeo investigates the latest diet
craze - `clean eating', the social media sensation that suggests certain
foods we eat can actually cleanse our bodies and make us healthier.
First, Giles meets with an Instagram entrepreneur behind one of the most
popular brands associated with clean eating, before travelling to
America to learn more about highly influential alternative health
advocates.
