Short description
One man's journey to discover the bitter truth about sugar. Damon Gameau embarks on a unique experiment to document the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body, consuming only foods that are commonly perceived as 'healthy'. Through this entertaining and informative journey, Damon highlights some of the issues that plague the sugar industry, and where sugar lurks on supermarket shelves.
What's left behind the scenes
- Damian Gumo hoped for cameo appearances by stars such as Hugh Jackman, Stephen Fry, and Breton Thwaites. He wanted the film to appeal to audiences who do not typically watch documentaries.
- Hugh Jackman's cameo was filmed in two hours during a break in his shooting schedule.
- The idea for the film arose when Yolngu Aboriginal man David Gulpilil invited Damian Gumo to visit him in the Northern Territory. Gumo was shocked by how deeply Western culture and food had penetrated Aboriginal life. In particular, he saw mothers feeding Coca-Cola to newborns.
