That Sugar Film

This is the first time that we’ve recommended a movie on the Backs Etc. blog, but we found this film to be so interesting and informative, not to mention fun to watch, that we felt it was worth highlighting. In a similar vein to Supersize Me, filmmaker Damon Gameau documents the effects of eating supposedly healthy foods that contain high amounts of sugar, to frightening effect. Whilst it may sound grim and depressing, it’s presented in such a way that makes for very enjoyable viewing, as well as being eye-opening.

If you’ve ever thought that one calorie is the same as another, give this a view.

That Sugar Film is available on DVD and on Amazon, and you can read more about it on IMDB and in this Guardian review.
