Cheerio! Join us for a spot of tea as Distillations reveals the chemistry of our favorite British products. First producer Nina Perry channels George Orwell to find out each step one must take to brew the perfect cuppa, a process verified by a chemical engineer. Then producer Rachel Dornhelm learns about Marmite, a controversial condiment with unexpected health benefits.

Big eyes, soft skin, squeezable cheeks. No doubt, babies are adorable. But on today's show we take a break from our cooing to examine some more serious aspects of parenthood. First producer Sabiha Kahn shows that there's some real science defending both sides of the breast vs. bottle debate, which has raged since the 19th century when an agricultural chemist created the first infant food. Then producer Audrey Quinn explores the unpleasant side of pregnancy, when our little dear ones rob us of nutrients and set our hormones on hyperdrive.
