Dieting and fitness advice is rife on social media, but listening to the wrong information can be devastating to people’s health and wellbeing.
Ali and Paul spoke to Kirsty Pavey from eating disorder charity Beat eating disorders about the danger of bad diet advice that can encourage disordered eating and affect people’s mental health.
Elsewhere in the podcast, we take on a claim by the home secretary Suella Braverman about refugees from Sudan, and we look at some historical fact checking on the origins of the Picts.
