BBC Science of Food

Synopsis:
Can eating the right foods improve your brain power? What about your chances of getting pregnant? Can you eat yourself to a longer life and could your culture improve your chances? We all need to eat, but there's more to food than mere survival. Food profoundly affects our bodies and minds, and can shape whole societies and cultures. Science of Food takes a light-hearted look at the science and psychology of food, looking at different cultures to see how they compare, and examining how food affects the natural world.
