Carolyn Robinson now host of What’s Really In our Food?

Returning on Tuesday, May 17th at 7:30pm on 3, What’s Really In our Food? is back for its exciting third season, with a new presenter and another list of intriguing foods to investigate!

Each week new host Carolyn Robinson will be opening our fridges, freezers and pantries to uncover the real science behind the fundamental foods New Zealanders eat.

From the mussel farms of the Marlborough Sounds to the rice paddies of Australia, Carolyn has been busy travelling to find out where the food we eat originates and how it gets to our plates.

This season What’s Really In Our Food? continues to debunk common myths and misunderstandings surrounding nutrition, and looks at any other health benefits or risks that could stem from the food we eat every day.

Each week the series will dissect a different food and this year the line up includes some of our household favourites including ice cream, beer, berries, pork, oil, rice and noodles to name just a few.

This season will also feature more expert opinion to help audiences understand the latest food research. What’s Really In Our Food? will also continue to translate the bewildering labels and chemicals listed on the back of food packaging, and conduct lab tests on popular products to test for nutrition and expose anything else that shouldn’t be in there.

If you want to know what food really does to your body, the fascinating Human Experiments will tell you. In the return of this popular segment, Carolyn will put some of the scientific theories to the test using brave volunteers.

Make sure not to miss the first of these when Carolyn takes a closer look at what’s really in our ice cream in the What’s Really In our Food? season premiere, screening on Tuesday, May 17th at 7:30pm on 3.
