Michael Mosley season on SBS

SBS screens 3 premiere documentaries by Michael Mosley and a repeat of the doco on the 5:2 diet.

2014-07-26_0031SBS screens four documentaries by Michael Mosley from Monday exploring everything from how to be happy, to living with parasites, to what foods we should and shouldn’t eat.

Three will be premieres Infested: Living with Parasites, Don’t Worry, Be Happy, Vets in the Disaster Zone, plus a repeat of Eat, Fast & Live Longer which has been credited with popularising the 5:2 diet.

Infested: Living with Parasites **Premiere**
From the face mites on our eyelashes to the amoebae that reproduce in our mouths, we all act as hosts to parasites – and we barely give them a second thought. In this programme, Michael Mosley infects himself with some of the most powerful and surprising of these organisms to find out how this fascinating relationship works, from the disgusting tapeworm to head lice and leeches. He is carefully monitored over a period of weeks as his parasites get used to their new home, revealing how an infestation takes hold and the effect it has on the human body. He also explores the growing scientific evidence that suggests some parasites might even be beneficial. Over the weeks, Michael itches and scratches his way to a newfound respect for these fascinating organisms.

Monday, July 28 at 8.30pm on SBS ONE.

  1. Re Living With Parasites: this is the stuff of nightmares!
    The other two might be watchable though.
    Or are the “vets” really veterinarians? I don’t want to know about animal horrors in a disaster zone…..
