That is really interesting! I wish we could get that program on satellite TV here in Japan!
I've also heard of another, similar Australian TV program in which they try to prove or disprove popular conceptions, but not necessarily health related. I don't remember the name of the program, but I know it has inspired my sister-school in Caloundra to start a science program with the same theme...and the kids love it!
Them Ozzies definitely know how to make a good TV program, by cracky!
The second program you are referring to is quite bizarre - science stuff, mainly different ways to blow up toilets, that sort of thing, so it certainly would amuse the kids. It's mainly about explosives it seems.
The health related program is very good because the topics are down to earth but the five or ten minute examination of each topic is presented in a lively way with tests on young men and women.
Re chocolates - no, they don't give people pimples!
Our youngest son, who lives here sometimes, is keen on the program because he's interested in fitness, sports psychology, nutrition etc. for athletes.
