So what about his experiment? In this short time frame, Damon gained 8.5kg of body weight, saw an increase in his liver enzymes, indicating the beginnings of fatty liver disease (verified by Prof Ken Sikaris, an extremely credible pathologist in Melbourne), and also believed that it took a toll on his mental well-being. Yes, it’s offensive to see the extremes of this problem, a problem that might not be overt to the rest of us who “know better”. Some may call this sensationalism, I just call it real. It also showed the extremes of the problem, including a sad account of the devastating effect of sugar on Aboriginal communities, as well as an insight into the ordinary life of an American teenager who – due to excessive Mountain Dew consumption growing up – now needs every single one of his rotten teeth removed from his mouth.
It showed Damon buying everyday food items in everyday supermarkets, a situation with which most people can identify. My take on the documentary? A very real account of the place of sugar in our society, as well as some nifty ways to tell the story that would appeal to both adults and children for viewing. To embark on a personal 60-day journey of consuming 40 teaspoons of sugar each day to see what this would do to his health.To find out for himself and to expose to others where sugar hides in common foods, and.To educate himself and others on the dangers of sugar on health.In this documentary, Damon decided to do three main things: For those who might not yet have heard of it, That Sugar Film is a documentary about sugar created by Australian documentary maker, Damon Gameau.
