randymcbeast Yes, that's right. I said it. This movie changed my life. Well, it did so might as well acknowledge it and send a big warm thank you to the folks that made it.Since watching the movie I've changed my diet completely. I wanted to wait about a month before I wrote this review just to make sure it took hold and actually did change my life. It seems now though that this one really got into me deep. Message received loud and clear.I actually feel stupid for the many decades of damage that I've done to my body for being so ignorant about sugar and the products we consume every day. I also feel betrayed by society as a whole for not recognizing this sooner, and still not doing anything about it to this day. Why are we so stupid? Sugar is killing us and nobody is doing anything about it. Well, I suppose not everybody. The makers of this film and probably a handful of others are working on the awareness, and I will also do my part telling everyone I know about this film.If you care about living and being healthy and you care about the health of your family and friends, watch this film, tell them to watch, and then tell them to spread the word.
shamik_ghosh-1 nothing mind-blowing. but that does not mean that they are unimportant.the film will again make you remember about the dangerous food labyrinth that we are in. really a responsible attempt for our kids. it will tell you how omnipresent the sugar is. it's almost every where.the bottom lime is: AVOID PROCESSED / PACKAGED FOOD & DRINKS. EAT AS NATURE GIVES US.eat a fruit in it's original shape, not just the juice. Why? because it's harmful. avoid so-called health food / drinks : they all contain harmful quantity of sugar... ........good and praiseworthy attempt. hope, i'll remember them when someone offers me a coke.
doucet_derrick This documentary is very biased like most documentaries. He says low fat yet he has chicken which is fat. Secondly lactose has way more problems that fructose do your own research. Also he blames everything sugar is involved in yet whole fruits have proved to reverse diabetes check out ALL HCLF mainly fruit eaters and find out for yourself. Also check out this documentary, Sugar V Fat The documentary is on You tube to watch IMDb has a trailer for it as well http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3564506/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Two twin doctors one goes full fat meat diet and the other sugar vegan diet. The end result will astonish all who watch this film. The sugar eater lost actual fat went further from diabetes and became more coherent in everything. The fat eating doctor became almost diabetic, lost weight but gained body fat and lost muscle, and was much less coherent.Lastly check out this You tube channel: NutritionfactsWhite sugar and lactose has its problems, but this guy had sodas which contain aspartame (much much worse) caramel colouring(again much worse) etc... Please do your research before believing this highly biased film that is out to plainly attack all good things about a good diet!!!
susanpwm None of the information is new - we have been told for a very long time that sugar is bad, eat natural, etc, etc. Having said that, it's a good documentary with some pretty scary facts on how much sugar is hidden in everyday seemingly healthy foods. I certainly won't be having a jumba juice anytime in the future. I also think people need to start taking responsibility. There was a couple of examples : In the USA they are blaming Mountain Dew. It's a simple supply and demand equation - Stop buying it and they'll change their product to reflect buyer demand. Remember McDonald's happy meals of 5 years ago contained a burger, fries and softdrink. They now contain same burger but with apple slices and a juice or water. And the Aboriginal community that was displayed - with all respect, they had a nutritionist for a while helping them out so why revert to old ways when the nutritionist left. Start taking responsibility for what goes in your own mouth.
