Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville investigate the truth about our food. Tests reveal whether more expensive orange juice is a healthier product.

Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville expose shocking truths about the food we eat in the programme that investigates everything from the secrets of the supermarkets to the reality of what's behind the labels.

Tests reveal whether buying a more expensive orange juice means you're getting a healthier product - or if you'd be better off sticking to the cheaper, concentrated kind. Plus why some of the sweets coming to British shops from America are breaking the law when it comes to some of their bright-coloured ingredients, and would you know which has more calories, a glass of wine or a doughnut? An experiment shows why it's not just the units you might want to count if you're having a drink.

Amid fears that our favourite chocolates could be about to become a thing of the past, the team whips up some chocolate of the future - but how will it go down with the people testing it?
