People will get mad because we’re going to spend the entire episode telling you why food is not medicine. Doesn’t mean it isn’t important but this rhetoric is getting way too much air time recently, forming the basis of ‘The Magic Pill’ so let’s discuss why this statement is grossly unhelpful.Follow Pixie Turner @pixienutrition on Instagram | Twitter | FacebookFollow Dr Nikki Stamp @drnikkistamp on Instagram | Twitter | FacebookEmail us with your questions [email protected]                                  Please don’t forget to give us a 5-star rating to help others find us Production music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com(Theme song is ‘Rookie Mistake’ by Fly Guy Five)Cover art is by Fine Print Food - @fineprintfoodThis week’s suggested readings:Cancer and diets from CRUK https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/coping/physically/diet-problems/managing/alternative-cancer-diets JAMA Oncology - patients using complementary therapies twice as likely to die of their cancer https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2687972?resultClick=1 National Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Organisation (NACCHO) https://www.naccho.org.auA great article from Huffington Post on why Food is not medicine https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/food-isnt-medicine_l_5e136ffbe4b0843d36169e02Natural by Alan Levinovitz https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Natures-Goodness-Harmful-Science/dp/0807010871  Hosted on Acast.

But should you be adding coconut oil to every meal or is there a better way to do it?
