We're told that fresh food and plenty of vegetables will keep us healthy but can we have too much of a good thing?
Our relationship with food is changing. For some food is no longer simply something to eat, but a fixation that can take over their lives.
First Cut: Health Food Junkies meets some devoted health food worshippers. They are a growing community of men and women who believe theirs is the healthiest diet on the planet.
Calling themselves 'Raw Foodists' they don't eat wheat, dairy, sugar, meat or fish, and most importantly, everything they do eat is completely raw, because they believe heating anything above 45 °C destroys the food's essential enzymes and nutrients. Some also adhere to a strict daily regimen of urine-drinking and enemas.
It's probably the most extreme diet in Britain, but how credible are claims that it can make you healthier, happier and even to stop you getting old? Just when does a fixation with healthy eating turn into an unhealthy habit?
