- 80% of the sugar we consume is hidden in everyday foods, like ‘healthy’ breakfast cereals, yoghurts or ready meals. For the past decades, the sugar lobby has been on the offensive. Every year, the average person in France eats 34 kg of sugar - twice as much as 15 years ago. Not only are consumers being misled about the quantity and form of sugar in their diets, but the effects of sugar on our bodies are being downplayed.
According to some doctors, sugar is not just an empty calorie, it’s a ‘poison’, just as dangerous as cigarettes, and a leading cause of a number of serious illnesses. As well as the epidemic of child obesity, sugar has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and many common cancers. In this investigation, we examine the sugar industry.

I grew up on soda being a substitute for water my entire life. I literally didnt know any better because my family condoned it and it was normal for them too. When I moved out, I realized how bad it was for me once I started drinking water. My acne went away, I lost weight. Now at 33, my teeth are starting to show signs of severe decay. Ive had to have one pulled and one root canal. It really sucks because its not like I can reverse 20 years of unchecked sugar intake. Now I look on packaging for nutritional information ( 1 7up bottle was 76% of daily sugar! and it totally tastes like it. yuk)!
I agree with you. I'm 28 years old and I drink so much water, just drinking a snapple at 64 grams of sugar I taste it in my gums.
In some place, like Flint, people drink soda because it's cheaper than clean water.
I was always astounded when I would visit a friends house, and their parents would ask me "which 2-liter of pop" I wanted to have with dinner.
@@daggerthedragon1582 soda costs more than bottled water
@@daggerthedragon1582 They should invest in making some kind of a still. Clean water is one of those things that can actually be manufactured if one is motivated to do it. There are lots of ways to do it.
So many sugar addicts in denial in these comments.
Sugar is a big link between obesity and diabetes type 2 and cancer as well as tooth decay
That craft guy knew he was guilty, thats why he was so defensive, he knew it was bad for public perception, he couldnt even defend any of her simple points. That's bad. He had an opportunity to defend his position but just ran away with his tail between his bald legs.
It’s not just sugar but also vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean, palm oil, sunflower, and safflower) that the food industry adds to all processed food and most of the restaurants that cook with it.
Make your own home cooked food and use natural oils such as lard, extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil, ghee and butter.
Absolutely true people with diabetes have skyrocket including kids 😢
I couldn’t agree more! Processed foods in general are very dangerous to our health.
@@tdh7865 you have much to learn about the dangers of refined, toxic seed oils. Keep eating those chips, deep friend greasy junk and pretty much most meals prepared at mainstream restaurants.
^^^This X 1000!!! As for oils I'd like to add sesame and avocado oil as well. Sugar, fried crap, basically any refined carbs can and should be purged. I'll admit I do indulge in a small amount of salad dressings on occasion but in very strict moderation. As you might expect I'm on the KETO bandwagon. The best diet that works. Damn, I wish I did this 30 years ago. I was in the restaurant business so I ate way too much of the wrong things but knew I had to change and when COVID hit and the gyms closed that was the wake up call. I'll never go back.
@@paulcook735 well done mate! I agree, keto works well. Vegetable oils and sugar are in everything.
On behalf of the US, i'm sorry world.
This is how capitalism works though. Freedom without morals. A lot of people are okay with this and people get offended if you try to take away their junk food
Well, the world is changing and these dinosaurs' empires are falling fast ; ) K
On behalf of the US
Thank you for having good food and don't have to eat bugs
And all that other nasty crap
Why is it us fault no one is forcesing to eat
@@subhyoyogg2394 ? Advertising? Advertisting to children? Adding sugar to all foods? Wake up
How does it have strong ties with nutritionists as there is nothing nutrition in processed sugar
A pretty far reach, and insult to actual traditional French foods, to call whatever Nestle doles out as being related to French culture
1:49 That's the saddest cotton candy I've ever seen
😆😆
Process healthy fruit juice at the grocery store if calculated roughly. Equals to a can of pop. Large healthy glass. Or 2 liters of healthy fruit juice = 2 liters of pop. Most people don't really stop at a small glass. Small glass is a medium size cup of coffee.
There used to be juice glasses.I think they were 4 or 6 ounces.
@@genxx2724 How much is that in milliliters?
Either way it's still bad.
@@endezeichengrimm My dear, you can look up the conversion. The juice glasses were very small. Now people drink huge glasses of juice.
@@genxx2724 How much is it?
There is no such thing as healthy fruit juice. You take out the fiber, its just water with sugar, as any pop. Some vitamins sure, but the topic is sugar, and as that goes, there is no difference between juice and pop. Same flood of sugar, no fiber to release it gradually.
Wow, great doco, really sheds light on how evil the sugar industry is, making money at the cost of not just adults lives, but children, mostly uneducated and poorer communities. Everyone should see this doco and share it. The mental gymnastics done by that women defending cokes funding of the study was just dumbfounding and totally shameless. What a cow.
A bowl of chocolate cereal is 12% of daily sugar intake, and he says that its better to put it that way rather than value for 100 grams, he just plays stupid he knows all bowls are not same in size.
Sugar is a killer in large amounts
Here is the tune I grew up on. C&H Sugar Commercial "Island" 1974 czcams.com/video/ZLuXQRlwFh8/video.html and

My father worked in a sugar refinery in San Francisco as a teen before he was drafted into WWII to fight against the Japanese. He was stationed in Hawaii but thankfully the war ended before he saw any combat. I can remember hearing that song like it was five minutes ago.
Interesting and sadly very true. Soda manufacturers add so much sugar to their drinks that they must add citric acid to cut the sweetness or people would reject the drink. So we really are tricked. You wouldn't add 12 teaspoons of sugar to a cup of homemade tea but it sure is in 1 can of soda! I'm convinced the only way for obese to become normal weight is to eat an unprocessed, plant food based no added fat/oil and no added sugars or sweeteners. By eating those foods I am free from cravings and my weight easily normalizes and I'm not hungry. Dr. John McDougal's free diet and free recipes on his website teaches this way. Chef AJ on CZcams explains why it works in her Caloric Density video. I am set free from a lifetime of chronic obesity.
Meats have a lot of good fats and proteins.
@@daggerthedragon1582 When I looked at the nutritional profile of plant foods, including nuts/seeds, everything I need to be healthy is there without the harmful cholesterol and saturated fats found in animal products. It surprised me a lot because for most of my life I thought animal products were needed. Now my blood work is perfect. With eating animal products and the standard American diet I had high cholesterol, prediabetes, cancer, 180 pounds overweight, and low vitamin D. Now I am healed. So this way of eating works well for me.
@@daggerthedragon1582 And antibiotics and GMO corn fed animals with diabetes... : ( K
@@happycook6737 Well done! ; ) K
well duh and it's the parents place of not to feed it to the kids
Wow. The Sugar Lobby is even working for Google ; ) K
Age 1-18 build foundational knowlege& skills.Children should be feed unprocessed whole foods.no sugar/sweets. Eat thier protein, healthy fats and veggies 1st. Drink water or plain full fat milk before anything else.
Lol. Cédis sounds like sadist which is appropriate for sugar
It is a conflict of interest. Which invalidates the information. America has stared to question this practice.
So in france to understand the nutrition label from the sugar lobby. Better time to go back to to school and take algebra plus calculus with a master or professor degree to figure out the maximum daily allowance of sugar for a healthy child / adult to equal a minimum less of the 100% record amount. No simple color system. Probably shot down here in America too from the sugar lobby. It's in almost everything around the world. The American diet.
But it's becoming unpopular and slobbish. Plus the currency collapse is making all this garbage food too expensive. This is going to be a huge own goal for these mafia ; )K
Mankind’s obsession with sugar goes back a long way. Take for example Post and Kellogg cereals, they started with an oat cereal product and when the competition got intense they added sugar (Frosted Flakes) and then they realized that in order to sell more product just add sugar, the same applies to sugary drinks.
even a longer way, Marie Antoinette liked to eat sweets, cakes with orange flowers, chocolate etc, most of royalty did, that is why they had bad teeth, Luis the 14th also.
This is misleading. Natural sugars are okay in moderation. What were dealing with corn syrup in process foods.
In moderation is key. Many people consume much more sugar than they should on a daily basis.
Chocolate is very nice but it is very bad for you and your teeth
Женщина просто лучшая, пришла туда и навела шухера
Duh!
Sugar Industry lobbyist? ; ) K
Good for the rats that chose cocaine, so much healthier.
And thinner
Lobbying is propaganda and bribes
sugar is okay if it consumtion in moderate,not too much
because naturaly like rice having sugar especially the glutinious rice (tepung ketan),or the sweet potato especially the ube (purple),banana,strawberry
the one that should be careful about sugar is the processed sugar/corn syrup and etc, should be aware how many sugar consumtion per day,
i like dates,some of dates variation is really sweet for example the sukkari and tunnisia
it is the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him favorite food is date,especially the ajwa one.
he recommend to eat 7 piece of dates of ajwa because it can protect you from evil magic.
honey is prophet favorite too,but i sometimes consume it and still limit it around 2-3 table spoon maximum.
so ya,i think if it is consumtion in moderate,and still pay attention to the volume/how much you eat,it is still okay,
even tho i rarely eat or drink sugary,except from rice or from raw veggie/real veggie (not the extract like corn syrup)
You can still eat Sugar just don't eat it every day
Have you seen the size of the population honey. Wake up.
Tell that to the large population with type 2 diabetes and pre diabetes.
@@lorettacarroll6015 Yes, it is rife everywhere ; ) K
@@lorettacarroll6015 well thats because they didnt take care of their health no one force them to have diabetes
@@khaartoumsings no you wake up like I said you can still eat Sugar but not every day eat it in moderation.
Also some people don't like to work out and parents don't make their kids go outside and play and be active.
sugar is natural, all fruits contain sugar............
True, but fruit also contain fiber and vitamins. Still if you eat too much fruit there is a chance of gaining weight as well because of that sugar (fructose)
The fruit today has been biomedically modified to contain 10-40x more sugar than fruit 100 years ago. Humans can get all their needed vitamins, minerals, and fiver from vegetables.
@@makista9068 not only a chance, but you will turn the fructose into fat in 100 % of cases. even if you are starving on that day.
@@obelixpfeifenreiniger2863 yep...ingesting sugar turns the switch on to store fat even in a fast...avoid it
@@makista9068lol😂 ye dude dont eat anything 😂.
I eat anything and only when I am hungry and I am not obese
