This Wednesday, Dr. Xand van Tulleken returns with a new episode of “Dr Xand’s Con or Cure,” tackling a range of health-related topics with his characteristic blend of expertise and plain-spoken advice. From insurance loopholes to dubious weight-loss fads, the show aims to equip viewers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health.
This week’s episode features a tragic story of a man denied life insurance due to a hidden clause in his policy, a cautionary tale that underscores the importance of carefully reviewing the fine print. Dr. Xand offers practical checks viewers can perform to safeguard their well-being and ensure their medical care is safe and effective. And in a separate segment, Ashley John-Baptiste investigates the persistent claim that apple cider vinegar aids weight loss, separating the hype from the hard science.
“Dr Xand’s Con or Cure” airs Wednesday, 30 April at 10:15 AM on BBC One.
