It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Having seen quite a few "food" movies I was blown away by how funny & entertaining this movie is. Damon is very funny. The dance scene in the end is inspired & completely nuts. I loved it. My 10 & 8 year old watched it too & laughed alot- all while learning lots of helpful things about our bodies, other cultures & how food is made these days. I've also never seen a food movie that had me on the brink of tears as with the RV scene & the 18 year old boy and his mom- brutal. We all know sugar is bad but the amount in every day processed food is crazy & I'm glad someone is talking about it. The experiment he did was brilliant. And the effects, hair raising! I love sugar & I try to be aware of how much I'm eating but seeing this was a much needed eye opener. My family is going to cut way back. So grateful for the makers of this film. There was no preachy or ram it down your throat feeling that some food films have. Very real, interesting & timely. Thanks Damon!!

Fun film that truly opens our eyes to how the presence of sugar in our modern diet affects our health, both physically and emotionally. Sugar is in all processed foods even fruit juices. So we need to know how it affects us. Director Damon Gateau puts his health on the line to test what happens to our bodies and mood when we consume 40 teaspoons of sugar a day, which is the average amount in our modern diet. We become involved with his personal experiment and it's all presented breezily and with humour. The finale is an incredibly clever jingle/song that sums up the doco brilliantly. All performed by Gateau. The framing of the film with the birth of his child and how he develops his own "pregnant" stomach is hilarious! This movie could change your life!

This documentary is very powerful one to draw attention to a food that we have on our table with confident that it is healthy one or at least nothing bad in it. I really like the style or techniques that the author uses to compare and highlight how much sugar generally people consume.I have never thought that my healthy breakfast could contain so much sugar and how dramatical influence of this amount of one has on my body. I absolutely recommend watching it, just for sure

This documentary is very biased like most documentaries. He says low fat yet he has chicken which is fat. Secondly lactose has way more problems that fructose do your own research. Also he blames everything sugar is involved in yet whole fruits have proved to reverse diabetes check out ALL HCLF mainly fruit eaters and find out for yourself. Also check out this documentary, Sugar V Fat The documentary is on You tube to watch IMDb has a trailer for it as well http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3564506/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Two twin doctors one goes full fat meat diet and the other sugar vegan diet. The end result will astonish all who watch this film. The sugar eater lost actual fat went further from diabetes and became more coherent in everything. The fat eating doctor became almost diabetic, lost weight but gained body fat and lost muscle, and was much less coherent.Lastly check out this You tube channel: NutritionfactsWhite sugar and lactose has its problems, but this guy had sodas which contain aspartame (much much worse) caramel colouring(again much worse) etc... Please do your research before believing this highly biased film that is out to plainly attack all good things about a good diet!!!
