We all have our foods that we can't live without...cake for Craig, and chocolate for Jane. Ice-Cream tubs with timed locks have been invented for this very purpose.
But what is it that causes cravings? What we don't realise is that cravings can sometimes be physiological, instead of just physical.

With the London Olympics just around the corner, the Grandstanders jump onto some pertinent questions about the event. Just how does the Olympic Torch stay alight as it gets passed between some 8,000 torch bearers?!? We discover that the British go to great lengths to ensure that it does.

Latest research reveals that the speed at which you eat may impact on your health. Brett (filling in for Craig) and Jane gives us the low-down on the possible link between eating pace and diabetes. Tune in and decide- are you convinced that you should treat eating as a sole-activity, avoid multi-tasking, and sloooooow down?
Teeth are the topic of the day on The Grandstanders...yes, that row of white-ish things that sit in our mouth and help us chew things. But how can they affect our health?
Dr Trudy Ang joins Craig and Jane on the show to give us the low-down on why we should be taking good care of our munchers.
