Is The Sugar Lobby Making Our Kids Fat? | Child Obesity & Sugar Documentary

[@ArtByBritania]

I grew up on soda being a substitute for water my entire life. I literally didnt know any better because my family condoned it and it was normal for them too. When I moved out, I realized how bad it was for me once I started drinking water. My acne went away, I lost weight. Now at 33, my teeth are starting to show signs of severe decay. Ive had to have one pulled and one root canal. It really sucks because its not like I can reverse 20 years of unchecked sugar intake. Now I look on packaging for nutritional information ( 1 7up bottle was 76% of daily sugar! and it totally tastes like it. yuk)!

[@DemetriT1]

I agree with you. I'm 28 years old and I drink so much water, just drinking a snapple at 64 grams of sugar I taste it in my gums.

[@daggerthedragon1582]

In some place, like Flint, people drink soda because it's cheaper than clean water.

[@daggerthedragon1582]

I was always astounded when I would visit a friends house, and their parents would ask me "which 2-liter of pop" I wanted to have with dinner.

It’s not just sugar but also vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean, palm oil, sunflower, and safflower) that the food industry adds to all processed food and most of the restaurants that cook with it. Make your own home cooked food and use natural oils such as lard, extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil, ghee and butter.

[@paulcook735]

^^^This X 1000!!! As for oils I'd like to add sesame and avocado oil as well. Sugar, fried crap, basically any refined carbs can and should be purged. I'll admit I do indulge in a small amount of salad dressings on occasion but in very strict moderation. As you might expect I'm on the KETO bandwagon. The best diet that works. Damn, I wish I did this 30 years ago. I was in the restaurant business so I ate way too much of the wrong things but knew I had to change and when COVID hit and the gyms closed that was the wake up call. I'll never go back.

[@wseto09]

Process healthy fruit juice at the grocery store if calculated roughly. Equals to a can of pop. Large healthy glass. Or 2 liters of healthy fruit juice = 2 liters of pop. Most people don't really stop at a small glass. Small glass is a medium size cup of coffee.

[@son4n4n]

There is no such thing as healthy fruit juice. You take out the fiber, its just water with sugar, as any pop. Some vitamins sure, but the topic is sugar, and as that goes, there is no difference between juice and pop. Same flood of sugar, no fiber to release it gradually.

A bowl of chocolate cereal is 12% of daily sugar intake, and he says that its better to put it that way rather than value for 100 grams, he just plays stupid he knows all bowls are not same in size.

[@happycook6737]

Interesting and sadly very true. Soda manufacturers add so much sugar to their drinks that they must add citric acid to cut the sweetness or people would reject the drink. So we really are tricked. You wouldn't add 12 teaspoons of sugar to a cup of homemade tea but it sure is in 1 can of soda! I'm convinced the only way for obese to become normal weight is to eat an unprocessed, plant food based no added fat/oil and no added sugars or sweeteners. By eating those foods I am free from cravings and my weight easily normalizes and I'm not hungry. Dr. John McDougal's free diet and free recipes on his website teaches this way. Chef AJ on KZbin explains why it works in her Caloric Density video. I am set free from a lifetime of chronic obesity.

@@daggerthedragon1582 When I looked at the nutritional profile of plant foods, including nuts/seeds, everything I need to be healthy is there without the harmful cholesterol and saturated fats found in animal products. It surprised me a lot because for most of my life I thought animal products were needed. Now my blood work is perfect. With eating animal products and the standard American diet I had high cholesterol, prediabetes, cancer, 180 pounds overweight, and low vitamin D. Now I am healed. So this way of eating works well for me.

Mankind’s obsession with sugar goes back a long way. Take for example Post and Kellogg cereals, they started with an oat cereal product and when the competition got intense they added sugar (Frosted Flakes) and then they realized that in order to sell more product just add sugar, the same applies to sugary drinks.

So in france to understand the nutrition label from the sugar lobby. Better time to go back to to school and take algebra plus calculus with a master or professor degree to figure out the maximum daily allowance of sugar for a healthy child / adult to equal a minimum less of the 100% record amount. No simple color system. Probably shot down here in America too from the sugar lobby. It's in almost everything around the world. The American diet.

sugar is okay if it consumtion in moderate,not too much because naturaly like rice having sugar especially the glutinious rice (tepung ketan),or the sweet potato especially the ube (purple),banana,strawberry the one that should be careful about sugar is the processed sugar/corn syrup and etc, should be aware how many sugar consumtion per day, i like dates,some of dates variation is really sweet for example the sukkari and tunnisia it is the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him favorite food is date,especially the ajwa one. he recommend to eat 7 piece of dates of ajwa because it can protect you from evil magic. honey is prophet favorite too,but i sometimes consume it and still limit it around 2-3 table spoon maximum. so ya,i think if it is consumtion in moderate,and still pay attention to the volume/how much you eat,it is still okay, even tho i rarely eat or drink sugary,except from rice or from raw veggie/real veggie (not the extract like corn syrup)
