Sugar Overload

Synopsis

In Sugar Overload, Director Edouard Perrin highlights the aggressive tactics of the sugar lobby over the past decades. The documentary reveals that the average person in France consumes 34 kg of sugar annually, which is double the amount from 15 years ago. It points out that 80% of this sugar is hidden in everyday foods, including supposedly 'healthy' breakfast cereals, yoghurts, and ready meals. The film raises awareness about the health implications of excessive sugar consumption and questions the role of the sugar industry in public health.
