I always enjoy a good documentary on any subject really but sometimes you see one that truly impacts the way you think. Two such docos I have seen over recent months are That Sugar Film and The True Cost.
That Sugar Film is about hidden sugars, specifically those in foods that are marketed as "healthy". In this entertaining yet informative movie Actor Damon Gameau embarks on a unique experiment where he eats only foods that are are perceived to be healthy. Starting with cereal, low fat yoghurt and juice for breakfast he also includes such foods as muesli bars, peanut butter, baked beans, processed sauces and many, many other things that most consumers would consider a "good" food choice. Damon's health is monitored along the way and it is soon apparent just how much hidden sugar is mindlessly consumed in the name of good health.
