The Truth About Sugar (2015 documentary)

The Truth about Sugar

This BBC documentary aired originally on TV, and set out to demystify the myths about sugar and show what products secrety contain it. It also sets out to demonstrate the impact on health if you remove sugar from your diet.

This documentary “charted the lives of Cara Patterson, Rick Shabilla, Audrey Cannon and Simon Gallagher, who consumed nearly 119 teaspoons of sugar between them a day. Three of them lost nearly six kilograms each after implementing a low-sugar diet, but Shabilla unfortunately decided to replace his Indian sweets habit with lager and was not as successful.”
