I've posted several times about the dangers of sugar and how you should try to cut it out of your life. Now there's a new documentary coming out this week on the subject.
Check out the trailer here.
The documentary is narrated and executive produced by Katie Couric and it's all about sugar and just how much of it we're ingesting every day.
According to the film sugar is added to 80% of all processed foods on store shelves. That number has dramatically increased in response to the public's desire for "low-fat" foods. When the fat is removed - more sugar is added to resort the flavor. One of the more interesting facts from a movie clip shows that despite the increase in low-fat foods - Americans have gotten fatter than ever in the past few decades.
What's even worse ... this generation is the first generation ever that's expected to have a shorter lifespan than their parents. It's sobering.

There's also a Fed Up 10 Day Sugar-Free Challenge. You can learn more on the movie's website.
