Sugar is hot stuff!

Now we are talking! Sugar is no longer only hot stuff out in the food isles... people have started to react to the absurdity of us consuming so much sugar, often without even knowing about it.

Here are some updates.

Today there was a long program on Finnish state owned channel YLE5 about the hidden sugar. Ann Fernholm, the Swedish expert that I blogged about here (hell hour) and here (when tides turn), and who we invited to Vaasa not so long ago to a full house seminar in the old cinema, was one of the experts being interviewed about harms of sugar.

You can see the program here (in Swedish with Finnish subtitles):Det dolda sockret

Then there is this incredible couple that has set out to row from California to Hawaii to raise awareness about how sugar is killing us. You can support their cause here: Fat chance row. The good thing is that the guy is Finnish - so he will be getting a lot of media attention here. And we do need all the help we can get in debunking old myths about the fat free but high in sugar diet that the authorities are recommending to the people!

And here is a video clip on them:

And on their website, I found these youtube videos that I hadn't seen before:

First "Sugar is killing us":

 And then, how it affects the brain:

The other ones (CBS and Robert Lustig) have been referred to several times before on this blog.



In Finland we also have a new book that was released just the other day. It is called "the Food Pyramide Scam" (Ruokapyramidihuijaus). I haven't read the book yet, but looking forward to getting my hands on it. Maybe this is the book that makes the tides turn also in our country? At least you could hope so!
