Review of Sugar Coated (2013) by Ken P — 12 Feb 2017
This is a very well-produced documentary about how a "harmless" (according to sugar industry research) ingredient has been added to our diets in toxic quantities. It is powerful stuff.
The comparison with tobacco co's, their motives and tactics, is frightening. The documentary highlights the fact that it's the same exact playbook. I remember watching the transition in the mid-60's to today.
They open and close the movie by showing how our holidays and most sacred events are all bathed in sugar. How did the industry pull off such a coup in the most intimate parts of our lives?!
The movie certainly boosted my awareness of and opposition to sugar.
