Sugar surprise. Dieter's dilemma
Description
The average person consumes way too much sugar-without even knowing it. This video reveals the true sugar content of everyday food products and the negative health effects of a high-sugar diet. Guiding viewers through the aisles of a grocery store, nutritionist Beth Mansfield explains the fine points of nutrition labels and explores ways to figure out the actual amount of sugar in fruit juice, snack bars, cereals, and other supposedly healthy fare. Also included is an interview with Dr. Marion Nestle, NYU professor of nutrition and author of the eye-opening book Food Politics, as well as information on WHO nutrition guidelines, commentary from a sugar industry lobbyist, and a visit with a 12-year-old girl determined to lower her sugar intake.
