Podcast: Health for the unhealthy
Can you eat a bag of chips a day without getting fat? Is it better to be active and overweight than to sit still and be thin? Should I smoke e-cigarettes or snuff?

Health for the Unhealthy is led by physician Vincent Amble-Naess and EPHI Communications Officer Nicolina Söderqvist.
