After watching this documentary, I was very touched! Therefore, I feel it is necessary to share with everyone, for the health of more people-although many people know that eating too much sweets is not good, but this documentary more intuitively shows the various hazards of sugar, these hazards are like drugs The same, let you unconsciously indulge in it willingly, but the final result may be-cause devastating damage to your health.
The original intention of the documentary was this: an Australian actor and director named Damon Gameau insisted on eating only sugar-free food for several years, but because he was about to become a father, in order to let his children have healthy eating habits, he decided to do An interesting and courageous experiment. Start to re-eating sugary foods to find out the effect of sugar on human health...
During the experiment, Damon needs to eat 40 teaspoons of sugar content food every day for two consecutive months, maybe you hear 40 spoons The number of sugar will be surprising. In fact, this is just the amount of sugar that most of us usually consume every day. It should be emphasized that the sugar sources he ate in the experiment were all seemingly healthy foods such as cereals, low-fat flavored yogurt, toast, juice, etc., and he stayed away from candy and junk food, while maintaining the same amount of exercise as before. And calorie intake, all these efforts are to find out: What effect will sugar bring to our body and life?
As the experiment progresses, his whole person tends to become moody, one After eating sweets, I feel good, and when I don’t eat sweets, I become depressed and unhappy. Everyday mood swings become great, and the whole person’s state becomes older and worse... During the
experiment, Damon’s doctor and research The team obtained a series of shocking data for his physical examination. Although he did not eat junk food and had the same total calorie intake as before, the sugar intake was converted into fat and his weight increased by 8.5kg, even Mild fatty liver disease also appeared.
When I saw this result, Xiao Yuan immediately thought of myself. Because in my past life I also liked to eat sweets, but I belonged to the kind of physique that didn't get fat no matter how to eat, so I never paid too much attention to the harm of sweets. I didn't understand until I saw this result! Last year, the medical doctor told me that I might have a slight fatty liver, which terrified me at that time! Later, I checked a lot of information and found that, in fact, the phenomenon of fatty liver in young people is very common nowadays, but many people do not know it (especially people who are not fat). If you leave it alone, fatty liver will eventually evolve into Liver cirrhosis and so on died...but fortunately, fatty liver is a reversible disease, early diagnosis and timely treatment, adjustment of eating habits can return to normal.
And what happens after getting fatty liver? The original words of the experts in the documentary were: "Fatty liver is the first step towards insulin resistance, so once you get on the path of insulin resistance, you will then enter the path of type 2 diabetes." Once you have diabetes. But it’s not so fun. In today’s medical common sense, diabetes is irreversible. Once you have diabetes, you will have to fight against it for the rest of your life... In the
documentary, Damon also interviewed some other high-profile students. People affected by sugary food, such as a 17-year-old boy, Larry, has liked to drink soda since he was a child. He drinks 12 cans a day on average, which is exaggerated... Do parents leave it alone? Now that he is a minor, his teeth are basically destroyed, and a total of 26 teeth need to be extracted...The dentist doesn't know where to start...
Damon also went to an indigenous community. The food in this indigenous community originally contained very little sugar. Although the people were poor but healthy, since Coca-Cola and a bunch of western food companies introduced their high-sugar products into local supermarkets, This deeply changed the local food culture. As a result, the health status of the entire community began to decline sharply.
There are countless heart disease patients and kidney dialysis patients... Of course, there are more exciting content in the documentary, such as Stephen Fry. A wonderful demonstration of the difference between glucose, sucrose and fructose, as well as the wonderful journey of sugar changes in the body, also made a lot of related interviews. For example, a scientist said that although he received a lot of sponsorship fees from Coca-Cola, his research report They are all objective and fair, and he doesn't think sugar is so harmful.
All in all, in order to increase sales and profits, snack food companies will definitely package and beautify high-sugar foods unscrupulously, so that more people can buy them, and consumers will be unable to resist these delicious temptations at the same time. The more we eat, the more addicted we are. Fortunately, the documentary gave us a bright answer at the end. After the trial, Damon restarted quitting sugar, and his body indicators gradually returned to normal. Therefore, we are now beginning to change our minds. Eating habits should not be too late.
Although it is not ruled out that there may be some unobjective elements in this documentary, but for your health, Xiao Yuan strongly recommends everyone to take a good look at this documentary. The documentary can be found by replying to "Sugar" on the "Discover Four Dimensions" public account.
After reading the resources , I sighed silently: It's so sweet and sad!
