The Secrets of Sugar - the fifth estate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 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.
As a parent, YOU buy the food, YOU cook it, YOU choose it, NOT YOUR CHILDREN.
Amen Excellent point!
Were not all as rich as you
@@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.
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!!
I watch this video every year as a reminder to stay on track and stay away from processed foods & sugar as such as possible.
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.
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
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
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😊😊😊
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?
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
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
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.
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.
Dear RUclips,
Please please put this on everyone’s recommendations, please....
Everyone who watches needs to like this video for that to happen. And RUclips 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
RUclips doesn't want you to see videos like this, it hurts them more than you know!
They should band sugar
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!
Took sugar out of my diet and my bp dropped 40 points with no meds🇱🇷🙏🇱🇷
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.
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.
8 years ago and still sugar is everywhere 🫣🫣🫣
$$$$$$$$$$
the Sugar industry is like a mafia..
After cutting way, way down on sugars & starches, I easily lost 50lbs without exercise & have had no trouble keeping it off. I have no intention of ever returning to my old way of eating.
Good For You!!!
im on the journey right now
So... what did you Replace all the sugar intake with? Because I am a Sugar-holic. 😊
@@gregseewald2161 meat veggies
Congratulations! Keep up the good work!!
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
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.
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!!!
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 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.
@@tippytoe1250 I will try thanks!
@@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.😃
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.
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.
I just know that When I quit eating sugar (all forms) I cleaned my leaky gut, Drained my lymphatic system, lost over 70 lbs & feel AMAZING!!
Try keto diet
@@princessvlogs5261 Yep, been on it for a year! It's AMAZING!
@@prayonkreutz2398 so hows ur health now?Im in 2 months now and i lost 7kg amazing
I can tell you a diet of only chocolate and cookies give you polyps ulcers and seizures,,,
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.
I would love to see an updated show about this for 2023!
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.
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
@@eitanmichaeli6770 Yes, this is true. Letting wine age is a process. Dehtdrating grapes for raisins is a process.

My grandparents knew this. But sadly I never knew it or got into it. Now I wish I had. I love garlic pickles and I used to love dill pickles. I drank pickle juice like crazy.
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
You should rebroadcast this on the tube. Help people be the healthiest on these strict budgets we’re having.
9 years ago? and I'm only seeing this now? Wow!
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.
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...
@@torbinzix1 looks like someone’s cranky because of too much sugar 😂😂
Love this!
@@missgrinch5940 TBF village girl in Norway didn't seem cranky, but I defer to you as you probably have great experience of this.
I saw your video on your channel, how's those e-cigs working out for you? They too could be a source of your crank and bovine demeanour, lots of empty calories in those things.
@@torbinzix1 wow. It was a joke. That video was years ago and I am not afraid to admit that I am a former addict. Have a lovely day.
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.
Surprised CBC produced something of truth and high quality. Kudos to them.
Suddenly the thought of eating sugary foods and drinking soda makes me want to vomit after watching this documentary.
@Mary Lee never heard of powdered peanut butter! Dont think we have it in Oz.
I will puke with you!
I'm hoping it will make me feel like I want to vomit, for the rest of my life; cause, no doubt, I'm addicted!!
@Mary Lee Good Job!!! 🥇😁
@Mary Lee Making your own peanut butter is actually really easy. You can make this in 10 minutes. There are hundreds of recipes here on RUclips.
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?
You are correct. Good observation.
Study will be after most of us are pushing daisys!
bluedreamer12 I’m pretty sure thats been done.. right?

Very interesting! I learned a lot from this documentary. Thank you. I hope more people can watch this.
I've watched a lot of videos on RUclips, 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 ?

Impossible with Grandparents!
My friends children never had any sugar in their diet and when they finally were able to have their own money they eat nothing but sweets and cakes!
@@E-Kat
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?
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!
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?
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.

That lady that disagrees and says we should keep sugar in our diet is CRAZY.
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!
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?
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
krwoods125
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.

At this point in time is 9 years ago and nothing has changed yet...
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.
The food industry should be renamed The Food Mafia.

What's even more disconcerting; the fact that this video is eight years old.
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 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!
Plus cooking is just satisfying!
That's why diabetes is such a pandemic
Probably all of us eating processed food
now take fluoride out of your water.
Oh man. We started this year as well. Holy cow is was crazy to start tasting what it should actually be.
I mostly dropped refined sugar from my diet. And you know what? Fruits started tasting much, much sweeter and better.
That old woman who was pro sugar definitely had an agenda. She didn't even have a comeback to any of the things that the reporter said. Its crazy that you as a consumer have to sit and think: who has the biggest interest in me following their beliefs, and whose interest is money driven.
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
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.

No one told me this when I was a child !!! We always learn after the fact when we are very ill and close to dying ....
This opened my eyes a lot. Thank you for bringing truth into the light!
Well time to piss off the family, no more suger. I love being hated.
I've been trying to get my wife and kids off of the sugar. So far it has back fired. My family isn't giving up sugar so easily. I've been switching to lower sugar and sugar alternatives to try and wean off. I've quit smoking and drinking alcohol. This sugar is a whole new beast.
Scott Ashe how are you? I quit smoking recently and found I cannot process sugar as well without smoking.
Research suggests nicotine helps process caffeine and sugar. Deep down I have always known I am more addicted to sugar than any other substance.
It is insane how sugar is in everything. And I mean nearly everything.
Comfort Zone Invader - just stuff them with as much good food as they'll eat.
Kind of thing a Mom wud say 😆. I did 😏
@@statelyrose369 I love you people 😍. The pain is real
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.
Bless the gentleman subject, Mr. Breeden's honesty and candor for making that moment of reckoning after the trip to the grocery store
thank you again,DR.BERG.
I HATE HOW THE INDUSTRY is defensive. 😒 We need to close them soon. We need healthy food. This is our human right.
We need to grow our own food.
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
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.
Now, do a video on sugar, but include the health of people with or without getting vaccinated. And include the group of people who dealt with the stress of the pandemic by eating foods including sugar. I believe overweight and health problems got very much worse.
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.
Reducing sugar intake per day should be on everyone's mind. I am starting to reduce my intake even more. Great informative video!
But it still packed full of what we eat
They all lying
Just like with the vaccines. That harm us too
@@webthing8028 next your gonna say you dont wear masks
@@webthing8028 are you a flat earther too?
I rarely consume a sugar (natural sugar from fruit & veg excluded)
@@pongchannel. what's that got to do with that.
This documentary is the best because am a big sugar eater. I'm going to keep it natural and sugar is out completely
Comprehensive, useful information and advice.
Thanks s lot!
The sugar facts were presented to the government back in the fifties. The gov threw the flails out and said this would screw up sugar investment. They've known all along and have just played you people.
Sugar farms on Florida, are fertilizing their sugar and causing red tide to over bloom, and are killing the gulf of Mexico. They don't care about people or the environment.
The continued "Operation Paperclip" members and the created organizations, the remnants that continue the program with the continuous help of the US government [mentis in Latin means "mind"].
I've been on Keto 3 1/2 months down 27lbs. Feeling so much healthier will never go back on sugar.
myoutube 13 yep big difference
myoutube 13 one of the worst fad diets ever conceived. I’d never harm my body with a keto diet. Sure you’ll lose weight but you won’t be healthy. Furthermore you’ll never be truly lean on a keto diet. It harms the body on so many levels
Hi.. I'm not being rude or cheeky.. But can I ask why you say that? If you are eating moderate protein and veggies and low sugar fruits, along with healthy fats. A good amount of veggies accumulate to low carbs after you subtract the fiber.
I lost 76 lbs. On keto. :)
Can you please tell me about the Keto diet please,I feel very unhealthy,and have gain about 40 pounds in the last couple of years, Doctor told me that i was borderline dietbetic and I'm very afraid of the dramatic change in my health,I will appreciate if you can send me information about the Keto diet,and I admire your work and dedication to better your health
Going on 5 years now, my son's and I eat whole foods. Nothing processed, no sugar, no grains.
We drink water and unsweetened green tea.
When I saw what they were buying g it their kids I was like No no no😢😢😢
Ketovoir or carnivore (light on dairy) is what works for my family
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!
It’s sad this marketing lady is already old, already made her money , and still defends these companies ...smh speak up the truth
That's not going to happen. I knew about sugar being addictive. It triggers the release of opioids and dopamine that goes to the neurotransmitters that takes it to the reward center. There experts that claim sugar is as addictive as cocaine. The sugar industry know it.
Just like the tobacco industry knew their cigaretts were addictive and carcinogenic. And they paid the American Mafia, our government millions of dollars and screwed smokers out of any legal recourse
of action. That's the way the Mafia operate. You pay for protection.
She's not doing anything wrong. There are labels on everything. If people are too lazy to read them, that's not down to her.
@@cincin4515 the thing is how many people understand what they read.
I thought basically the same thing , but it was more like "whats that nasty old bag doing ? she'll soon haveto answer for her crimes !
@ Cincin ok let’s sell heroin in the food store but make sure it’s labelled so we can make informed choices
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.
If that’s in Canada. Imagine here in the US.
At the very least, major weight loss is the result of quitting sugar... That's healthy.
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
I quit using any sugar when I was about 16 , that was 1969
OMG!!! You like Kurtishi!!! He's Albanian. Albanian love 💙💙
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.
Great video. Informative and eye opening. ☘️☘️☘️
This is why I'm giving up on processed food. I'm already vegan and eat way more fruit and vegetables than the average person but I never knew the amount of product that have extra sugar, apparently almost everything processed.
vegan is wisest, kudos!
Fructose from fruit is very bad also,be very careful with it
I'll never drink coca cola again, nor eat processed food.
Thank you for this film.
I gave it up 10 years ago and don't miss it.
@@chrissyellem7397
Congratulations. I will be starting tomorrow. Let me drink the last one today.
@@adan3749 Thanks. Good luck it's tough for 2 weeks you've gotta be strong lol. Once that passes it's smooth sailing.
I'm here because of my own research into familial health issues and I'm furious that the corporations have known how bad it was for our health and haven't at least let us know so we can make an informed decision. I never knew sugar could be so deadly until I started researching into candida and wound up at sugar.
Thank you for the educational video hopping you do more videos like this one educational and healthy..
They are slowly killing us with sugar! Sugar is in everything 🙄
As well as with other toxins [i.e., hydrofluosilicic acid is a known neurotoxin in most American drinking water]
Hydrofluosilicic acid replaced most of the sodium fluoride in most public drinking water
According to The Harvard School of Public Health, The Lancet Neurology, and Dartmouth University, sodium fluoride and hydrofluosilicic acid are known neurotoxins [they cause mitochondrial cellular damage].
Sodium Fluoride and hydrofluosilicic acid also damage the frontal lobe: emotional regulation, decision making, short- and long-term memory, lowers the IQ of children, etc.
Please research these neurotoxins
It is. I'm allergic to cane sugar and it's extremely difficult to find any packaged foods without it. I can make substitutions in my recipes, but not everyone is willing to spend that much time to avoid it.
They start us out with sugar in the baby formula.
No one is killing us with no sugar .do they ram it down ur throats ????? The power is in ur hands my friends.
