Leonardo-Igor: you sound just like frustrated uper class whining babies, typical discource of "wanna be elite or think I am elite" brazilians.
His film throws light on Brazil s inconvenient history. This outstanding film, winner of the Houston Film Festival Gold Award, is directed by Phil Grabsky.
This new ethnicity permeates and explains the modern Brazilian way of life. Some, however, did survive to create a new culture a fusion of African and European. Most Africans survived only seven years in this 'New World'. They lived in squalid conditions on remote plantations or in teeming cities harboring fatal diseases. Using contemporary testimonies, this film takes a hard look at Brazil s dark history through the eyes of those slaves. Without them none of Brazil's present-day success and appeal would exist. This programme looks at those estimated 4 million people with whose blood, sweat and tears Brazil was built. It’s when you start having processed foods, that’s when all the sugars are added into the food.At first glance Brazil appears to be an alluring playground of exciting carnivals, sultry samba, divine football and a vibrantly diverse people.īut behind this dazzling facade lies a disturbing story of history's largest-ever slave population.Īstonishingly Brazil, a Portuguese colony, received ten-times more African slaves than the numbers transported to North America. If you’re just eating real foods, you’re not going to get into trouble. And over time, that can have an effect on your adrenal glands and other parts of your body.Ī: I have a very good diet and enjoy a whole range of foods and don’t really exclude anything. If you’re constantly giving yourself this quick burst of energy, then you’re going to keep coming down. It’s the impact on your mood and overall vitality. I think my naiveté and stupidity probably helped the film to a great degree. Q: How did you feel eating this much sugar?Ī: I certainly would never have done the experiment if I had known what I know now.
That’s really how the whole journey started. And thinking, could you make a film and really bring the fact that sugar is found not in our conventional obvious places but it’s hidden in all these foods that often get advertised as being healthy and good for us. I remember being in the supermarket, and just discovering how much sugar is in a bottle of barbecue sauce, and I was quite gobsmacked by that. So I felt that rather than go back and forth reading between various opinions or scientific studies, I would do an experiment myself and find out my own truth. There’s so many conflicting theories and stories out there at the moment, and it can be overwhelming sometimes. Q: How did you decide to make “That Sugar Film”?Ī: I was, like most people, pretty confused about the messaging around diet.

More than a week into the Star Tribune’s 28-Day Sugar-Free Challenge, we talked to Gameau (who has since founded the nonprofit That Sugar Movement to promote healthful foods) about how he felt during the making of the 2014 movie and what he eats now: This is a warning sign for liver disease, which in severe cases, can progress to scarring and cirrhosis. “You’ve got the signs of fatty liver,” his doctor tells him. Just six days later, his doctor tests his blood and sees bad news. Twelve days in, Gameau has gained 5 pounds. “I did all the maths and it just seems ridiculous.” “I’m looking at 20 teaspoons to start the day,” he tells the camera. Then, he downs a big glass of apple juice, adding 9 teaspoons. He adds flavored yogurt, giving him 4 more teaspoons. In the movie, as he starts his ordeal, he fills his cereal bowl with Kellogg’s “Just Right,” racking up 7 ½ teaspoons of sugar. He didn’t seek out cakes and doughnuts, but instead consumed “hidden sugars” in foods like barbecue sauce or flavored yogurt. He decided to consume 40 teaspoons of sugar each day while maintaining the total numbers of calories he was eating before the experiment began and continuing his exercise routine. During the making of his documentary “That Sugar Film,” Australian filmmaker Damon Gameau conducted an experiment about sugar - on himself.
