What the Health? At the Movies with The Cancer Pod

What the Health? At the Movies with The Cancer Pod

To vegan or not to vegan? The 2017 movie What the Health? presents its case for adopting an animal-free diet, but does the science the filmmakers cite support their claims? 

In the latest pod, Tina and Leah go to the movies and review the first of three food-related films, separating the wheat from the chaff, fact from fiction.

Whether you’ve already seen the movie or not, you will want to hear their take!
