In my opinion Stephen Bartlett's podcast has been one of the most nessesary progressive forms of media to me. Meanwhile traditional media display profitable commercials for fast food and discuss concerns of health misinformation segments (consumer brand CONSISTENCY and TRUST is very important). This world should always be a democracy for truth and information for individuals to decide for ourselves.

Why would we trust BBC but not Steven?

[cherylrichards]

I stopped watching the BBC because I was sick of their lies, bias and propaganda. It’s so good to see people waking up to the truth about these corporations!

The remedy for misinformation is more information, not silencing people, but giving the reasons why something it’s not true.

I love Diary of CEO. Steven Bartlett is such a thoughtful host. He's empathetic and listens without interupting. Such an awesome podcast.

I wasn't a fan of Steve Bartlett before. I watched 4 or 5 his podcasts before. Now I'm strongly considering subscribing to the CEO Diary and never missing another episode

The fact that BBC and the supposedly "experts" have a problem with DOAC, makes me believe in the podcast even more. Godspeed, Bartlett!

[jennypc]

The podcast has just been validated- thanks BBC! Steve when they come for you it means you’re being effective, awakening the masses and big money is not happy.

Keep going my friend as thanks to podcasts like yours we are no longer being easily fooled by big money.

Steven's podcast has helped more people upgrade their health than any medical system could.

[giselac]

As a person suffering from a chronic illness, it's great to have access to information not available through mainstream propaganda. I have the ability to critically think and make my own decision, thankyouverymuch. Steven's role is not to challenge and push his own views. Seems like he's doing a better job of being a journalist than the BBC World Disservice.

People want alternative health options because they feel that the traditional health care system is failing are desperate in many cases, so the audience for this type of dialogue is huge. The popularity of these guests is a testament to this

[bipinkarunakaran]

It is absurd that the advice to cut sugar and carbs is labeled as "harmful claim".

[andrewhutton]

But, if we take cardiac disease, the UK's no 1 killer, has the BBC challenged the medical establishment, who heavily promote statins as a treatment, which has at best, very marginal benefits, and remained largely silent on the need to cut ultra processed food from the diet, which has huge health benefits for cardiac patients?

No need to watch the video. It's much more entertaining and educational to read the comments.

Steven Bartlett's audience are generally people who, like him, care about their bodies want to optimise their health. They are saving our NHS billions by looking after themselves. They are not stupid and can think critically. Maybe they dont want to depend on the NHS for future care as it is literally crumbling at its seams. People who couldn't care less about their health and lifestyle are the ones you should worry about!

[mariGentle]

Not giving context as to who the guests are is exactly what the BBC does

[Fadzi]

Oh wow, the establishment really is crumbling people if the BBC has to reach this badly to shut diverse voices down. Keep up the good work Steven, will support the DOAC even more.

Steven Bartlett is not only an awesome podcaster, he is a genuine caring human being. I take each medical podcast with a grain of salt. I don't believe everything his guests say. Most of his podcasts are business people or sucessful people who want to share their thoughts or keys to their success. I get sick of elite newscasters who think the general public are morons.

6 years ago, I had a spiked blood pressure and all the hospitals I visited medicalized me to control blood pressure.

However, I decided to try alternative method; abandoned dairies (processed), red meats, salts, sugars, wheat, breads, and soda drinks.

The result is that my blood pressure normalized and I have lived better than before. Of course, I rejected all medications recommended by the Doctors.

Smart people know that relying on people who sell drugs (by their trainings) for a good health is not your best bet. And I'm happy I now take Doctors recommendation as opinion than truth. I might respect it or reject it (especially when it's not emergency).

If we don't see those guests, we won't know all the sides needed to build our opinion. I support Steven Barlett wide variety of guests, and that doesn't mean I agree or believe in all of them.
