Audience Member This is a very well-produced documentary about how a "harmless" (according to sugar industry research) ingredient has been added to our diets in toxic quantities. It is powerful stuff. The comparison with tobacco co's, their motives and tactics, is frightening. The documentary highlights the fact that it's the same exact playbook. I remember watching the transition in the mid-60's to today. They open and close the movie by showing how our holidays and most sacred events are all bathed in sugar. How did the industry pull off such a coup in the most intimate parts of our lives?! The movie certainly boosted my awareness of and opposition to sugar. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member maybe too Canadian for a general audience? more (increasingly less-)shocking revelations along the line of Fed Up and Salt Sugar Fat. If we want to stay healthy, we have got to be very educated and eat real food that we prepare from real ingredients. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Its true, sugar has no nutritional value. A real eye opener. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Calm and matter of fact, revealing. Important. With some not entirely successful attempts at optimism towards the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting, but I'm not totally sold on sugar being toxic. I feel like we have known for years that we consume too much sugar, especially Americans who are leading the world in obesity. But I think most smart people try to remove processed sugars (as well as fats and excess salts) from their diets without having seen this film. Still good, cool comparisons to the tobacco industry events of the 70s. Watched on Netflix, first half with Sam, second with Josh, June 5, 2016. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is enlightening. It builds on other documentaries like Fed Up and focuses on the sugar and food industry's manipulation of information on the harmful overuse of sugar in the modern diet.
