Pots of Gold

Description

Through yoghurt we can really explore our relationship with food and health. With access to the world's largest food companies, this program travels to Japan, Finland, France to explain how yoghurt's most important role has been to lead the food industry into the lucrative new market of functional food. It also shows how our changing lifestyles and obsession with health shaped the changing food industry and how health has become a new currency for the food business. It tells the story of the battle between taste and health fought by giant food companies. The food companies are making bold health claims for their products, but the research does not always back up the adverts. Do those friendly bacteria really do what they say?
