How we eat. From birth to death

Description

Anna was born with a sweet tooth-and as a young woman, created a successful business using it. Her delicious jams and jellies gave pleasure to many, but did they also cause harm? This program explores the way the human body processes food and how its long-term growth and development are shaped by eating habits. Illustrating cellular aging and its relationship to AGEs, or advanced glycation end products, the film also draws a connection between the bacteria an infant must consume to build a healthy immune system and the bacteria that consume the body at death. As Anna's life draws to a close, viewers will understand that "dust to dust" is a cycle in which we take an active part-every time we sit down to a meal.
