Sugar Blues

Can sugar be a drug? Director Andrea Culkova thinks so. She became aware of her sugar addiction during her pregnancy, when she was diagnosed with diabetes. Looking for food on store shelves that does not contain refined sugar became the driving force for the creation of a documentary in which for five years, the director searched for links in different places around the world, charted the expansion of the sugar industry and alternative ways of eating. She uncovered an incredible connection between diseases, behavioural disorders and excessive consumption of sugar. (One World)
