The Secrets of Sugar - the fifth estate
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 10. 2014
- We’ve heard for years about the dangers of eating too much fat or salt. But there have never been recommended limits for sugar on Canadian food labels, despite emerging research that suggests the sweet stuff may be making more of us fat and sick. In the fifth estate’s season premiere, Gillian Findlay digs into the surprising science - and the reaction from the food industry - to reveal The Secrets of Sugar. Has the sugar industry been hiding an unsavoury truth from consumers?
A small but influential group of medical researchers is stirring up the health debate, linking sugar not just to rising obesity rates but also to a host of diseases including cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
We put a family of four on a healthy diet to try to beat their sugar habit and track the surprising results. We talk to leading scientists - and their critics. And we ask the food industry why those ingredient labels are far from clear when it comes to how much sugar is really on your plate.

It's interesting that this was produced 7 years ago and nearly nothing has changed.
thats the scary part
@@mmishaalll I know right :))
yes
Big Food-profits over people
No one wants to hear that their favorite foods contain harmful ingredients. No matter the evidence they will come up with an excuse to continue to consume it.
I watch this video every year as a reminder to stay on track and stay away from processed foods & sugar as such as possible.
You will never truly realize how liberating & energizing life is until you cut out sugar & junk, empty carbs, and start eating healthy. You literally become a new person, with new energy. It’s amazing. I wish I had cut out toxic food earlier!
Ugh I wish I could do that but its hard!! I m sure I would feel a lot better and a lot more energetic
@@Itssshudaa Don’t worry I have my fallbacks too haha, but just try your best. You can do it 👍🏼 And even though it starts out hard, it gets much easier with time if you keep it up!
@@celestialknight2339 yess that is true!! Because I m always buisy I never really take time to look at what I eat (healthy things and unhealthy) so I want to start doing that and seeing if something changes and its soo good you’re doing that!!
Glad at 20 that I figured this out. After going Keto and reading every label, I've become aware of just how processed and loaded with sugar our foods are. Oils, meats, nearly everything. I rarely eat anything out of a package anymore, and only if the ingredients meet my standards. I've seen many people give up cigarettes, and other drugs, but rarely do you find someone willing to commit to giving up sugar or refined carbohydrates from their diet. Best health choice I've ever made, plus I learned to cook.
Well done👌 this is the way 😉
I don't mind cooking its the clean-up I can't stand. So I eat basically the same thing everyday just change out the protein a couple days a week.
@@chrissyellem7397 Right! Worst part, worth it when you have help, but cooking for myself is a little too much work.
Try not to eat much meat. Monks grow their own food and very little dairy, and that is a treat on the holidays that is why they are so healthy. Watch the documentary CBS interview with Mount Athos
@@1985LISS I only eat it 1-2x a month can't afford it. I eat mostly salmon, beans, and some chicken but only if I can get some off my son's plate lol
Whenever i have a sugar craving i watch this lol
not me , I'm going to buy some cookies , I forgot to eat any sugar this century
Sugar craving can be linked to low potassium
Right On!!! Excellent idea!!
Lol
oh boy that's a long 41 minutes wait for your monday chocolate bar cravings
When I was a kid I used to put a few tablespoons of sugar on top of my cornflakes, what I didn't know was that I was actually pouring sugar on top of sugar
OMG I totally forgot about that- yeah there would be sugar on the table and we'd all dump it in our cereal! And yet we weren't allowed to eat "sugar cereals" like froot loops because they were bad for us!
We all did i think. Mum used to nag at me but kids know best lol.
Crazy right. 😂
Delicious
@@francislea4700 i think that is an American thing. In Europe we never eat like that so its shocking for me. Even cereals alone taste too sweet for me and they are not popular here. We eat normal foods in breakfast.
I just started eating low carb, low (almost no) sugar - and already, I feel better. I'm eating mostly fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, etc. Here's the biggest surprise: The food tastes fantastic! I no longer am hungry between meals, my energy and sense of well-being is so much improved, and I can think clearly. Although I'm not diabetic, I was definitely heading there. The hardest part has been figuring out how to cook things. I sit down and cut veggies and/or fruit into whatever I plan to eat that day. Sitting helps make it easy. I never cooked, just grabbed convenience food. Now, I actually enjoy cooking. Before I did this, I thought I was eating well (no junk food, no fast-food, no candy, no desserts, no sodas, etc.) But what I didn't realize is how loaded processed food is with sugar and carbs. It's unbelievable.
Whole grains is also sugar to your body. Just be aware. Even stuff that says keto at the store has carbs. Stick to veggies for carbs and eat alternatives like quinoa instead of rice. Meats & Veggies, no more than 3 meals a day.
Good to read you are feeling/ doing better..If you want to take it up higher look up dr Sven Ekberg and Rob Cywes...they helped me transform my health for the GOOD tremendously...Be very well and a,mery christmas!
Mostly low carb diets (mediterranean, etc) are good.
Yes😊😊😊
8 years ago and still sugar is everywhere 🫣🫣🫣
$$$$$$$$$$
There is one important thing to note about this video that is not mentioned in it. The doctor who denies any links between sugar and disease, John Sievenpiper, he has received funding from the food industry, notably from Coca Cola, and has spoken at symposiums sponsored by the company.
YESSSS. This is the REAL problem. The "doctors" who are SUPPOSED to promote health get paid to support the food companies who are doing the exact opposite. It's so aggravating!
+Zenna Li Welcome to the matrix you have taken the red pill
+oseme thompson No, not really. All of the video is true. Sounds like you have a major sugar addiction.
+Michael Gibb, he also sounded like he had consumed a lot of sugar... he was speaking so fast hahahhaha
+Michael Gibb all bull
One of the reasons why people should always make their own food…
Very impractical in today's society.
@@MetalGearTenno we used to do it, maybe we don't need to watch 4 hours of Netflix every day
@@MetalGearTenno That is the whole issue, and no it's not impractical. You'll save money and become more healthy at the same time.
29:48: "None of this research represents the scientific mainstream. The case against sugar has not been proven."
Even then you have to be careful with your ingredients
Thank you CBC News. This is what ordinary public need to know ! What is more important than the health?
@@ebriuscantus5359 that doesn't mean we should stop thanking them
Health is definitely wealth!
The video doesn't make it clear, but John Sievenpiper has received research funding from the sugar industry and processed food companies. His viewpoint where he dismisses the negative health effects of sugar consumption should be viewed in this context.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON NEEDS TO WATCH THIS.
I applaud you for posting this on CZcams. I applaud this documentary a thousand times over.
Thank you, thank you thank you!!!! I'm sharing this with everyone I know. EVERY ONE.
I agree, videos like this help so many!
Even me I am from India I am watching this seems like you also send me this 😂 (where the hell you get my number ) ........,☺️😀😎
not the best documenatrie watch sugarland
@@KenDBerryMD hey I love your channel
@@KenDBerryMD Vegans keep hating Keto dieters because they recommend less carbs
As a parent, YOU buy the food, YOU cook it, YOU choose it, NOT YOUR CHILDREN.
Amen Excellent point!

@@resevoirdog
Oh, so your CHILDREN pay for their own grub, is that it?
Colin OhColin rich has nothing to do with it.
But it depends on the age of the children. We have no control over what our teenagers eat when they are out with their friends. Will they listen to their parents about how bad sugar is? I think not.
the Sugar industry is like a mafia..
My doctor told me "If the food you buy has an ingredients label on it, don't buy it."
That's true.👍
thats bullshit lol
This is probably the best "sugar" documentary on youtube, must watch!
Remember Atkins? He was anti sugar and had his life ruined for sharing his diet which was based on lowering your carb intake....
@@lolitapetite1413 that's because carbs are essential to your diet. The problem we are talking about is not about no carbs, but about the amount we eat.
@@lolitapetite1413 how was his life ruined
@@lolitapetite1413 Atkins died of his own diet, as far as I know. He also had multiple bypass surgeries previously, to warn him. None of those were of any use for him.
What a pity. But he ate the diet he advised, you can chalk that up for him. Many gurus of today are not that honest. They want to live...?
And if I'm not completely mistaken, those who he threatened to sue out of their pants, are still living and quite healthy. If that's what you hinted at.
Aaand, if sugar in any way equals carbs for you, than YOU ALSO are in quite a big touble. Just sayin.
Great documenr tay,I agree
Dear CZcams,
Please please put this on everyone’s recommendations, please....
Everyone who watches needs to like this video for that to happen. And CZcams probably won’t because it’s great education for the masses.
@@mymonkeycoco7055 unfortunately your probably right....
Everyone is addicted to this by any certain brand
CZcams doesn't want you to see videos like this, it hurts them more than you know!
They should band sugar
Dr. Robert Lustig is an American hero. We never knew all these truths that sugar was toxic until he took on the sugar/food industry.
All books on healthy eating state that refined sugar is bad for you. Lots of people have been stating it in books, magazines and documentaries on health. Everybody already knows that refined white sugar is bad for people's health. It is stated in MANY books on health. Mr Lustig is another person who has been trying to make it clear to others.
It is man who has been putting lots of refined white sugar about in foods and drinks and he needs to take responsibility for his actions and apologise to the planet about it. Man is no hero here, he has caused a lot of tooth decay and poor oral health on the planet. He is the boss of many companies, he has been making a lot of decisions around the world about what foods and drinks to put about. Man has been serving adult sized ice-cream portions to children from vans, in supermarkets ALL the cakes have sugar as the first and MAIN ingredient (the cakes in supermarkets taste really disgusting by the way!), men have been putting lots of super sugary drinks around children on a daily basis as well as around young people and they have been promoting them all over the place instead of drinking tap water. Adult man almost never uses drinking water taps when he is thirsty, he goes out and gets himself a can or bottle of beer or sweet fizzy drink instead!!! He has no clue what a drinking water tap is for!!!
I would love to see an updated show about this for 2023!
The sad part of this is none of these CEO's and representatives of the major food corporations feed their families this garbage but they will gladly sell it to the rest of the world...
its simple, stay away!
👉BINGO👈💯💯💯💯💯
Just because someone sells you something doesn't mean you buy
@@paulmwangiTheGifted if someone sells you something that means you had bought it...
Just because a store sells a product, you as a potential consumer doesnt have to purchase said product..
@@paulmwangiTheGifted Are you for legalization of all substances?
When I stopped eating sugar, I had withdrawal symptoms like a drug addict would. Shivers, headaches, sweats, fatigue, body aches...it was bad.
Me too.
There is a clinic for sugar addicts somewhere in Europe
did you eat fruit??? or no
@Kenya Kiryu Sugar is a drug. Once you get a taste of it, you fall off the bandwagon. However, it becomes easier to start again. I've learned you just can't have any sugar ever. If I mess up, I'm not hard on myself. I make it a point to not eat anything else with sugar and fast for at least 16 hours to burn some of those carbs. Just don't give up. If you mess up, don't keep messing up, let it go and continue.
Im going thru this atm. It is real withdrawal.
Took sugar out of my diet and my bp dropped 40 points with no meds🇱🇷🙏🇱🇷
John Yudkin was a decent man who tried to stop the rot. God bless him. Good on his son for making sure Mr Yudkin is vindicated for telling the truth; whilst being vilified. So sad.
While eliminating sugar from our diet is absolutely essential, someone should do a show on the negative effects of canola or vegetable oils on our diet!
Lol you are right. But 1 processed food at a time.
Sugar is by far the worst. Most addictive and hardest to remove and most damaging.
Canola oil is not good, vegetable isnt as bad, but Olive or Avocado oil is the best for cooking. Too many people are scared of fats, but what everyone should be scared of is too many carbohydrates.
Absolutely.....and I'm beginning to discover that olive oil may not be as healthy as it is advertised to be. One of the issues is that what you buy in the store may be adulterated with vegetable oil...or ovely processed olive oil devoid of polyphenols. Who can you trust today in the curious field of 'nutrition '?
@@andrewmays3988 yes you have to look for local certifications or labels with official origin stamps. And try and stick to single country origins. Costco sells good certified EVOO. Also there are websites that show brands that have been tested. Look for those brands near you.
Yes👏🏻
I've watched a lot of videos on CZcams, including Dr. Lustig's talks (which I like). This has to be one of the BEST. Too bad others are not seeing it. Only 8,000 have watched this video, while some people talking about how to grow their hair longer get 400,000 plus views. Sad world we live in sometimes.
The other videos come to the same conclusion ? What different do they say ?
Verlynda Teague very true ver..
My picture from 2012? Pic is from my trip to Spain, best trip EVER! Think again. Not as of this spring. But when I was, what's your issue?
+mustafa ahmed You're*
What is live Jasmine and I haven't been live on anything ever.
I completely reversed type 2 diabetes in 7 weeks on the carnivore diet and brought my A1C from a dangerously high 10 to a normal 5. I ate only beef, fish and eggs with the occasional avocado and that's it. I feel a million times better now.
Diabetes is not a disease. It is just that people have very unhealthy diets and lifestyles and medical staff have making matters worse by recommending harmful things like dodgy drugs and unnecessary surgery that make matters worse. Once a person improves their diet and lifestyle enough on a regular basis they will improve how they feel.
Very interesting! I learned a lot from this documentary. Thank you. I hope more people can watch this.
I am a senior and gave up sugar 3 weeks ago . My arthritis pain is 90% gone and I no longer have balance problems. My brain fog has dissipated and I also lost 2 pounds. I love desserts but love my healthy body more!
absolute those who avoid sugar, usually have fewer health problems.
Good on you. I like the idea of lowering arthritis pain.
Fair trade Equal Exchange Dark chocolate:) That's my allowed sweet. Anytime...with caution:)
Yeah, that mouse who couldn't find the platform was very familiar.
When a food rep starts talking like a politician you know there’s something very dangerous going on and it’s not gonna be good for you.
cannot thank you enough Dr Berg! to share your knowledge with us to genuinely help us, you are a true blessing. Wish you good health, peace and happiness!
Excellent video you bring clarity to so many I'm sure. You truly are blessed. Thank you 👍
Had me dying at “lucky charms ain’t so lucky anymore”
I knew I should stay away from lucky charms at first sight as a child.😀
Ahahaha! LMFAO!!!
I have done all I can to eliminate ADDED sugars. Its been 6 weeks and I feel so good! My skin is clearer and I am no longer a SLAVE to sugar😀 I lost a few pounds too.
could you give us some tips on how to go through the first couple of weeks with this new lifestyle? Because I tried a couple times but failed due to the fact that I didn't realize how addictive sugar is. I want to try again though!
Me too. It’s been 5 months and I’m down 50 lbs. Yes 50!
Wietepietepatat Try to eat as clean as possible. That’s what I did.

@@FlikkieFloekieFlakkie It's not easy....but it does get better in time....sugar free is a great place to begin....also eat fruit when you want a treat.😃
You should rebroadcast this on the tube. Help people be the healthiest on these strict budgets we’re having.
Gave up sugar completely and otherwise eat what I want. I feel better than I have in years and the pounds fell away. It was hard for about a week, now i dont miss it at all. It’s pretty amazing.
That woman representing the Canadian Food Industry makes me so angry with her lack of concern and coldness about it all. She just kept diverting the conversation with answers that really weren't answers to the actual question.
Agreed I can't stand people like that.
I agree. The response of the food industry definitely confirms that Dr. Lustig is hitting a nerve.
Sara (Blisssphere) she wants to keep her job.
at what cost?
Sara (Blisssphere) I am pretty sure she does not eat all that crap and she has a healthy balanced diet. And if she does get sick she can afford the medical care the best care unlike the rest of us.
I thank God I don"t have a serious sugar problem. I quit things like sodas several years ago and I make all efforts to eat natural foods most of the time.
Same here....
Me, too
Me too here. I quit soda and juices in 2008 and never looked back but I still have a problem because I still eat breads and eat out often.
Omar Vasquez I understand what you mean. I eat a lot of bread and go out to eat a lot. I know there are many other ways I can drastically reduce my sugar intake.
Robert Moore thanks. Hopefully with some discipline and a little more effort some day we will eliminate more sugar from our diets.
This opened my eyes a lot. Thank you for bringing truth into the light!
This is a great video that provides a comprehensive look into the consumption of eating too much sugar. It sheds light on the research linking sugar to obesity and other diseases, as well as how the food industry has responded to it. I appreciate learning about the effects of a sugar-free diet on a family and the questions about why food labels are not clear when it comes to sugar levels. Very informative and thought-provoking!
First step is take a page out of Newfoundland and Labrador in imposing a Sugar Sweetened Beverages Tax with proceeds used to finance tax credits for participating in sports, insulin pumps for diabetics, and school breakfast and dinner programs.
As an African, who grew up in the farm,I must say I didn't know what processed food was When growing up. Everything has fresh from the farm or market. Things like chocolate we had them once in a while,special occasion.And it was not much. I must admit growing up with less did shape me, when it comes to choice of food I eat today. My favourite place in a store is the vegetable section. I can say, am not tempted when it comes to sweets. So yes I do think we need to learn how to live with less, having few choices can help us, that is if we can't be disciplined enough.
I'm sorry, I couldn't quite hear your point through all your self righteous soap boxing...

But in this case, a late start in extra sugar consumption is probably better.
That's what we did and my daughter is obsessed with raw broccoli lol She refused to eat her birthday cake [which was made with banana and apples in small amounts rather than white sugar] so I ate it lol it was damn tasty, but she wanted nothing to do with it. She tried a piece of cupcake [like, regular white cake with icing] and almost threw up lol
@@madbahamut that's amazing!
How old is your daughter if you don't mind me asking?
After watching this video, I realized my shopping habits needed a change. Most of the items I was selecting had a lot of sugar. I deleted the whole list and opted for healthier options without any added sugar. I hope this video can reach more people and save lives!
This is actually waking me up to reality and I’m making the decision today to stop with the sugar completely
👍💯
It’s been 2 weeks. How was it?
Eat food as close to natural as possible avoid anything processed .
Jack Daniel Vithal Yes! Whole foods=1 ingredient content
Natural processes like fermentation are good. I like pickles and sauerkraut
than don't eat rice drink coffee the problem is foods that are processed in certain ways that add unhealthy compounds processed food just mean something has been changed for example roasting coffee beans is considered processing

Advertising lures people to foods that are loaded with sugar just like it did in the past with selling cigarettes until the Surgeon General determined that smoking was dangerous to your health, and they stopped the cigarette commercials on television in the 1970s. The government needs to step in and educate people about the harmfulness of too much sugar and censor product advertisements.
Very informative. Doing some online research on sugar intake led me finally to this broadcast. I do not drink pop and I only started to drink coffee with 2 tsp. of sugar in the past 6 years. I use maple syrup as an alternative to the turbinado sugar I use. I am a label reader and have been for years and there is almost nothing I buy that does not have sugar added - even my steamfresh frozen veggies have a little sugar. I pretty much buy organic when I can but even then what does "organic" mean?? I was happy to see the couple were able to reduce their oiverall health over the 3 weeks. Hope they keep it up.

When I was growing up, I use to get corn bread a few times a week, instead of bread, but this corn bread did not come out of a box, and this particular recipe had no sugar in it of any kind, or oil except for butter, needless to say this stuff was delicious. As the years went by, I could never get corn bread i.e., muffins, sticks, mini's etc., without it having sugar in it. Today just about every processed food product contains some form of sugar, it's almost impossible to avoid, the only chance one has, to control the sugar in your diet is to prepare your own meals, and control what goes in your food!
Reducing sugar intake per day should be on everyone's mind. I am starting to reduce my intake even more. Great informative video!

Bless the gentleman subject, Mr. Breeden's honesty and candor for making that moment of reckoning after the trip to the grocery store
This has literally scared me. A few years ago, my 3 sisters and I ordered lemonade from Subway. One of my sisters is super sensitive to sugar. She sipped and said it was way too sweet. I said it wasn't sweet enough!! My 2nd sister agreed. My youngest sister- like me - loves sugar, nothing is ever sweet enough for her either. When SHE sipped and I saw the look on her face, I was shocked. I did detox after that but have since fallen OFF THE WAGoN😳. Sugar is not only addictive, but the more you eat the more desensitized you become. I need to clean up my act!!!
Artificial sweeteners are toxic to the system also
@@beebles3 i wouldnt say toxic, but i say as bad. Tho aspartame could get that label of toxic sooner or later, depending on research. Others just makes you think sugars is coming in and when not, body is unhappy and crave it as much.
why do we always need the government to control us to control us just control yourself quit eating sweets it'll be okay you lose weight you know that I've been saying it for years don't eat sweets and you will hardly eat any sugar control yourself grow up

Look into stevia, flavored stevias, monk fruit and erythritol - oh, and look up Dr. Berg/Downshiftology/Gayle McLoud (not sure I spelled her name correctly) but you can really enjoy a low carb, suger free (not sweetness free, just suger free) lifestyle
@@beebles3 I was surprised they didn't mention that, at least a little bit, in this film.
I recently started cooking from scratch, buying local, cut out the junk food etc and it's had a big impact on my anxiety levels (in a good way). I wonder how many more people are suffering in this way just by the amount of hidden sugar in our foods!

It's an excellent research documentary, knowledge worthy.
I also strongly believe SUGAR also effects us cosmetically. There is NO need for a biggest percentage of us to look OLD at such early ages. I have seen the difference in folks who use a lot of sugar look older than those who don't use much sugar. When will a study be done on how sugar effects our cells?

Cut all alcohol and started prolonged fasting. I've seen some improvement but I am sure it will take more than 3 months to undo 15 years of damage
After i went into a diet to lower my carbs, ive started to read everything i eat. and damn its sugar in almost everything out there. ive lost 11kg in 1.5 months since cutting out majority of sugars.
Very good. You're my motivation.
I am starting today thanks for sharing
I have also cut 4.5kg in one month just cutting out sugar and carbs
Wow... That's a lot!
Well done! I cut out like 80% of processed foods and carbs and lost about 5 kg in one month. Also intermittent fasting and 1-2 meals a day help A LOT
I was just 14 years old back in 2014. Why this is recommended so late to me? Lol. I am skinny but I like lots of sugar in my tea and coffee. 19 isn't bad age for change.Really great video.
TLDR
In tea and coffee , decent amount is okay unless you eat alot of junk and process food as well
Never, never, ever combine caffeine with sugar or carbs. Caffeine increases insulin as does sugar and refined carbs. T2D is a disease of insulin resistance. T2D is occurring much more frequently in young people. Youngest patient treated for T2D was a 3 year old! All the best, @Nourishup365

Thank you for the educational video hopping you do more videos like this one educational and healthy..
Surprised CBC produced something of truth and high quality. Kudos to them.
Learning to read labels are useful but the real change is: eat things that doesn`t have a label. Its really your best bet. Rice, beans, vegetables, fruits and even meat. Non-processed food doesn't have labels. If there is a label its rarely good for you.
Very true. Plain and simple too!
GMOs are all over some of the foods we should consider healthy, which doesn’t help at all.
Rice and beans have labels
What do you mean? Most all packaged goods have labels that tell you a general composition - even rice and beans. Obviously it depends where you get them, but most still do.
@@TheEpicLinkFreeman He probably meant ingredients. Foods that does not have a list of ingredients is best. Whole, clean, single item foods.
I remember as a kid back in the 80’s knowing and being told that too much sugar leads to diabetes.
We were told in the 60's. Also lectured by our dentists. I'm not sure why this is news now except that 2 or 3 generation's couldn't be bothered cooking or thinking for themselves.
FRIGHTENING STUFF THANKS FOR SHARING THIS
I bought myself a vanilla pudding to eat as a treat today with some fruits and while watching this I got curious and looked at the label. That one tiny pudding had more than 20grams of sugar! The recommended amount for women is no more than 25grams a day. And that was only a tiny snack, i‘m sure theres sugar in other foods that I ate without even thinking about it as well. Maybe i‘ll be a bit more careful 😮
PS: One can of soda already has more sugar than is recommended for an adult to consume in a day.
I should add the first two weeks is a little rough, in fact harder than when I quit smoking 6 years ago. The addiction to sugar is real. But after that and with the positive health changes , I was so happy.
Remember the story of Pinochio? He went to the land where there were sweets all over the place and it turned all the children into donkeys... makes one think.
Why he turned children into donkey..??
I didn't heard story.....😔😔
All do respect this is an awesome information
I think I am from India that's why I don't know the story...😑😑😑
That was alcohol... In the film at least
@Swilly Billy such as?
Just shows how much power the sugar lobby has. Hundreds of billions of power $$$. Another good docco to watch is "The Sugar Film" by an Aussie guy. Thanks for posting this docco.
Mind blowing EYE OPENER. THANKS and blessings to you.
i really appreciate the fact that they didn't blur out the brands
The HEALTHIEST food is AROUND the grocery store
.. Not in the aisles. #Facts
Asphalt? ;)
@@Adriana-hp1eh lol!
Steph Dee Not here. Bakery on one side, lunchmeats on the other.
The healthiest foods are right by the entrance. THE PRODUCE!!!!!
Sooooooo true!
I love good, knowledgeable, information! Thank you,
I've lost 120kg by changing my diet. I'm so sensitive regarding sugar it's insane. I feel the best when I avoid sugar as much as possible. Just one bag of candy and I immediately feel so bad. And the day after I can see changes in my skin, especially facial skin. People are sadly so unaware and can't reflect their own life style. Blaming genetics and whatnot. I wish people were more open minded with their diet and aware what they are doing to their bodies.
I've stopped on sugar for a week and I feel great, I'm always reading labels now, educating myself so I can raise healthy kids with informed choices.
What products have you actually stopped eating? I would be very interested to know, Just plain sugar, or certain processed foods or grains products?
@@maggiemccall7090 im not the guy but stay away from added sugar anything with corn syrup or anything else like that. i also stay away from cereal
Just go very low sugar for a week and notice how much better you feel, incredible improvements in so many ways from focus to happiness.
Umm, what about Splenda?
@@SONYBOOTS try stevia
@@SONYBOOTS Splenda is poison. Stevia is safe and natural.
Jon Warren but first you’ll feel worse
Dizz Lexic link to data please.... from what i have found, the sugar industry protects its interests by spreading disinformation about artificial sweeteners. I haven’t seen one study to suggest that aspartame or or splenda is anywhere near as dangerous to human health as sugar is.
That lady that disagrees and says we should keep sugar in our diet is CRAZY.
What's even more disconcerting; the fact that this video is eight years old.
Sugars are everywhere! Only way to know for sure is stop eating processed foods thats where the hard work starts in your kitchen ;)
MrOktony 100% true. We need to cook for ourselves
Shop as though you've went out on a hunt and picked from the garden assuming one eats meat. I grew up on a farm in the late 60s into the 70s.. We had chickens, turkeys, geese, cows, pigs and horses as well as huge vegetable gardens and huge wheat fields. We made our own bread, butter and drank raw milk. We hunted ducks, rabbits, deer, moose as well as fished. I don't think we ever went to a grocery store back then that I can remember. We also picked gooseberries, strawberries, Saskatoon berries, pin cherries, blueberries and chokecherries the we preserved and made pies and jams with. This was all in Saskatchewan Canada, btw. The cellar was always well stocked for winter and everyone was healthy as a horse as we worked most all of the day, everyday but for us young ones, it was fun. I sure miss those times.
When I was really little I would go to the coop to collect eggs, every now and then I'd find a goose egg in the chicken coop, it was the highlight of my life at the time. lol I remember getting so excited because i didn't know that the geese were laying those huge eggs. Those geese use to chase me and my younger brother all the time, we were so scared of them but in a fun way as we'd scare ourselves. lol
Actually cooking is so damn easy
"Sugar is everywhere" it sure is!! God help us! It took some hard work but now I don't eat out at all and I don't buy any food that's prepackaged.
@@justathought973 you probably don't know how good you had it. Such tangible beautiful way to live like that.
Two words make you cut sugar for life : Insulin Resistance .
So have you cut 🧐🧐😌😌
Diabetes
yesss hahah very true especially people that are gym goers and value gains!! 💪🏽🔥
Pre-diabetic for me. I cut it right there and went full keto, never looked back. Not having me playing with needles every day no way.
@@vohh7401 when you say low carb, how many carbs you think? Also, fibrous carbs?
I just found this and it’s 7 yrs old. I shared it immediately.
Sencillamente un gran trabajo de investigación y todo es real .
from today, i ll avoid sugar at all cost.
Oh yeah I worked at Campbells Soup. I too was shocked there was a sugar room. So much sugar being added to soup.
They feel forced to add it because otherwise people won't like the taste of it.
@@crand20033 no..sugar is addictive and it sells
@@crand20033 hell yes. Have you ever tasted sugar free soup? The dog wouldn't eat it.
@@cincin4515seriously..I make many amazing homemade soups without a drop of added sugar..why do you think soup needs sugar??? Nuttzo
At this point in time is 9 years ago and nothing has changed yet...
I don't understand why they don't talk about the damage sugar does to teeth and gums.
At the very least, major weight loss is the result of quitting sugar... That's healthy.
I am a South African, but i love this channel. It teaches me a lot of things and I'm truly thankful 🙏🏽
I'm not Canadian either but also find value in watching many things on this channel.

This makes me wanna cry cause I'm a kid and I try to be healthy but it's like there is nothing out there I love to eat. But not too much I used to be Obese and now I feel energetic I truly love my decision I made to cut down Suger and sweets it is HARD as a kid to stop eating sugar. What Do You Think?
