Marron glacé to build a factory to produce Spanish marrons glacés using Galician raw chestnuts, which previously were exported to France to produce the confectionary.

The French refer to chestnuts as "châtaigne" or "marron". Both terms refer to the fruit of the sweet chestnut "Castanea sativa". However, "marron" tends to denote a higher quality, larger fruit that is more easily peeled. The fifth edition of the dictionary "Dictionnaire de l'Académie française.

Marron said she became horrified to see how charlatans were attempting to take advantage of her and fellow sufferers, offering treatments with no verifiable benefits, often while charging large fees, and this drove her to expose the worst practices of people who promote unproven, "alternative" approaches. "It's understandable that people reach out for alternatives when they are ill. But they don't work...People are hanging on for a panacea that, regrettably, does not exist", she says. Marron began campaigning against the "outrageous claims" made by some alternative therapists, instead promoting that people should have access to reliable, evidence-based information.
