Should be Required Watching!

This is an extremely good documentary, with an excellent selection and presentation of materials and speakers. The issues related to sugar and its increased consumption over the last 30 years, mainly due to the marketing machine of the sugar and prepared foods sector have been covered, as highlighted in the doc, by numerous experts since the late 60s and early 70s. However, it takes decades, as the fight against tobacco has well proven, to force change when industries deliberately obfuscate the facts and poison us instead of doing the right thing to bring genuinely healthy, non-fad food to the marketplace. It's immoral and illogical that more time and money is spent on the propaganda machine around sugar and its promotion, when its power could be turned to making both a profit and doing good, instead with its deep pockets.

This doc brings it all together with clarity, humour from time to time (great graphical representations of facts!), great camera, and editing work -- in short, the whole package. For all those who continue to tout the "calories in, calories out" mantra, and those who swallow that line, this film should be required watching.
