I searched the term "That Sugar Film" before starting new topic and it returned zero results, so here goes.

I watched it last week with my two children, 11 & 5, and it was a good experience. The 5yr old struggled but was largely patient with us as I frequently paused and told him in simpler terms what was said. In the last week there has been no sweets eaten, more teeth cleaned, (without toothpaste I may add), and only the occasional after meal biscuit consumed. (I confess I sneak the occasional extra biscuit for myself).

(For Americans - British biscuits are all sweet, sweet and sweeter).

Very interesting film though and do watch if you get the opportunity. The Big Food companies are as guilty as Big Tobacco in obfuscation tactics. Refined sugar is very bad for you, end of story.

Thanks I use raw cane because they take all good stuff out when bleaching it white.

I have not watched the film, though i have been aware of the research for a long time. I have eliminated all sugar from my diet.

Sugar is sugar whatever form it takes, be it honey or agave syrup and all the other new forms of sugar with a low glycemic load. They all have the same effect its a question of degree.
