Dr. WhatsApp

They say lies spread faster on social media than truth does, and the stakes are greatest when it comes to our health. Fake health news can be fatal. This week we discuss three health myths on vaccines, cancer cures and quick fixes that I've received over our much favoured app - WhatsApp. We also revisit last week's episode 'Three Africa Superfoods' in the form of an interview. Here we learn how one founder was able to increase profits 30-fold in the superfoods industry by transitioning from exporting raw African produce, to converting them into health food products instead. Submit your audio questions via our website, and we'll do our best to feature it on the show next week: dailyrunafrica.com Hosted by Dr. Yemisi Bokinni - A trained medical doctor, researcher, and long-standing promoter of public health. Dr. Bokinni graduated with a Medical degree and BSc in Human Genetics from King's College London. She also has postgraduate training in nutritional genomics and lifestyle medicine.
