Summary Added sugar is the West's number one dietary enemy. A dangerous molecule, sugar is responsible for at least four diseases. Ireland is the fourth highest consumer of sugar in the world, but very few know how much sugar they're actually consuming: a whopping 24 teaspoons a day, compared to the less-than-six teaspoon WHO recommendation. Dr Eva Orsmond investigates Ireland's sugar over-consumption and the shocking cost of a sugar habit: hospital admissions, long-term illness and premature death. As children today face a shorter life expectancy than their parents, this documentary tells the story that everyone needs to understand if people want to change the stark prediction. (Class. tba)
