Adventurer Bear Grylls’ healthy eating plan is absolutely nuts

We always knew Bear Grylls had balls — but this is ridiculous.

For many years, he lived as a vegan, existing on raw juices, vegetables and pulses.

But Grylls has now gone to the other extreme and lauded the health benefits of eating organs such as the liver, heart and even the testicles.

The adventurer, 48, said his diet was built around “grass-fed, good quality” red meat, raw dairy and fruit as well as organs. He steers clear of bread and pasta, and avoids processed foods.

“The way I build all of my meals is around … good quality red meat,” he said in an online video. “I always throw in a bit of liver as well every few days.”

He said that he had been convinced by research that

PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ may slash women’s pregnancy odds by up to 40%, study finds

The study found that higher levels of perfluoroalkyl substances – known as PFAS – in the blood of would-be mothers were associated with up to 40 per cent lower chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.

The researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, the US, say women trying to conceive should therefore avoid products known to contain PFAS, such as non-stick cookware, microwaveable popcorn or anti-stain fabrics.

“PFAS does reduce fertility in women, and PFAS exposure should be reduced in women who are planning a pregnancy in order to make it easier for them to conceive,” the study’s lead author Dr Nathan Cohen told Euronews Next.

He and his colleagues looked at blood samples from 382 women aged
