Steven Bartlett sharing harmful health misinformation in Diary of CEO podcast | BBC News
Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett is amplifying harmful health misinformation on his number-one ranked podcast, a BBC investigation has found.
Recent claims from guests – including that cancer can be treated by following a keto diet, rather than proven treatments – were allowed by the Dragons’ Den star with little or no challenge. Experts have told us failing to question these disproven claims is dangerous because it creates a distrust of conventional medicine.
In an analysis of 15 health-related podcast episodes, BBC World Service found each contained an average of 14 harmful health claims that went against extensive scientific evidence.
Flight Studio – the podcast production company owned by Mr Bartlett – said guests were offered “freedom of expression” and were “thoroughly researched”.

At least 11 Palestinians have been killed, including women and children, and dozens wounded in Israeli air strikes across Gaza City, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.
Israeli aircraft struck at least four residential buildings in the Sheikh Radwan and Tel al-Hawa neighbourhoods and Shati refugee camp in the early hours of Thursday, causing powerful explosions and panic among residents.
Among videos posted on social media, said to be the aftermath of the attacks, were distressing images of people trying to leave a building engulfed in fire in Shati camp.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Lawyers say nearly 2000 people across Devon and Cornwall have signed up to demand compensation from the local water company over sewage spills.
The group legal claim wants South West Water held responsible for occasions when raw sewage discharges prevented people using the sea and deterred tourists from using local businesses.
South West Water last year spilled sewage for more hours than any other English water company – more than 400,000 in total. It is also due to be sentenced after pleading guilty to repeated illegal sewage spills.
South West Water said it is aware of the legal claim and is currently investing £760m to reduce the amount of sewage it discharges.
