Catherine Tyldesley on Diet Fact, Diet Fiction
Corrie actress Catherine Tyldesley dropped from a size 22 to a 10 and has now decided to separate the myths from the facts for a new ITV documentary Diet Fact, Diet Fiction?
She believes there is a lack of education about dieting and the effects certain foods can have on the body.
"There's an overall lack of education all round, not just from these diet groups but in schools,'' Catherine told This Morning.
''We were taught to make pizza, bread and cakes. We weren't told about the effects these foods have on our body, and that to eat them frequently could lead to diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes.
''We're in the midst of a diabetes epidemic and a lot of that is to do with a lack of education.''
Catherine joined us live from the Corrie cobbles to tell us more about her investigation.
