The science is haphazard, the techniques gimmicky, but the point is cogently made.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is That Sugar Film about? Toggle content

This documentary film takes a closer look at the amount of sugar in our daily food intake and its impact on our health. The experiment involved consuming only 'healthy' foods high in sugar for 60 days, resulting in a significant increase in weight, lethargy, and development of fatty liver disease. Interviews with experts reveal that fructose may be the main culprit behind the adverse effects of sugar consumption, and artificial sweeteners may not be a better alternative. The film also explores the concept of the "bliss point," the optimal amount of sugar added to food to make it desirable, and how it affects our perception of taste. The experiment's findings challenge our understanding of 'healthy' eating and the role of sugar in our diets.
