UC24 - Podcast - The Skinny On Fat

There has been a lot of misinformation on fat.  The belief that fat makes you fat is the biggest fallacy of all.  Kim, Carren and Cyndi discuss, everything to do with fat, going back in time as to when fat became a dirty word, learning about the research of Ancel Keys and why margarine was first made.  Why does the  heart foundation give it’s tick of approval to a totally manufactured food, with colours, preservatives and flavourings and why has butter been outed.  Should we heat oil, what is the best oil to heat, is coconut oil good and is saturated fat a good fat or a bad fat.  Are oils good for the skin and if so which ones?  Listen in as the three Up For A Chat girls talk all things FAT!

UC23 - Podcast - To Vaccinate or Not

This is a very emotive topic, so Cyndi, Carren and Kim ask the question as to why it is a topic that causes anger, ridicule and creates splits in couples, families, friends and colleagues.   The whole topic came about because Cyndi posted on her facebook page a study that showed a correlation between the absence of mumps and measles in childhood and the increase in autoimmune diseases. What started as something for people to think about and discuss became a very aggressive argument with everyone having a point of view. This is not about whether to vaccinate or not vaccinate this is a topic to give people information in order to choose what is the best for their children and families.
