Rémy, a French American candy lover, travels Europe and America to understand the source of this addiction. Among scientists tracking sugar addiction, industrials playing with our weaknesses, jurists preparing a revolution, chefs and simple food lovers, Rémy takes us on a food cleanse investigation.

"WE DON'T EAT WHAT WE NEED, WE EAT WHAT WE WANT"....THAT'S REALLY PROFOUND!
If your a Whole Foods plant based vegan you actually eat what you need AND everything what you want! I’m living this amazing beneficial life❤
Je mange à 80 pour cent au moins de produits dont j'ai besoin et le reste ce que j'ai envie.
Et les produits dont j'ai envie sont pour le plaisir et diététiques moitié moitié.
Je cuisine les produits bruts ,ne bois pas souvent voir rarement et ne fume pas depuis bientôt 8 ans et
Major food companies should be made to pay national healthcare and health insurance costs in any country to which they market their products. That'd bring them into line soon enough...
Nah they just need more transparent labels for ultra processed foods. Also, we should stop subsidizing soy, corn, etc
@@steadystackin7250soy and corn are healthy.
What about you, a consumer - educate yourself and shop accordingly... I mean, I don't wanna take their side, but, the fact is, no one is forcing you to buy anything.
Use your own discretion it's not the company's fault
The choice is yours
@@alinucalinuc4124 Nobody is forcing us to do drugs, maybe then the state should make them legal, also reduce all the taxes in cigarettes as well since nobody forces us to smoke either
My mother was raised on a farm, and they were very poor. There was no sugar. At Christmas, their treat was a piece of sugar cane, in it's raw state. Cut it and chew it for the sweetness. Her entire life, she never added sugar to her cereal because she didn't have it growing up. She didn't like it sweet.
Raw sugar cane is so good!
How old was she when (I assume) she passed away?
It’s mind boggling for me that people add sugar to cereal when it’s already packed with it !
My same Ugandan story.
They need a sugar tax…lower the cost of fresh fruit and vegetables and tax the foods that have excess added sugars. DUH 🙄
Or put the fats back into the food?
I hadn't eaten at a burger restaurant for years. Some five years ago on a trip from Italy to northern Germany I stopped at a Burger King, the only restaurant for quite a long time and I became hungry, so it was a choice . I ordered a menu and had to find out that a bottle of water was far more expensive than a vanilla shake. I bought the water anyway and started eating the burger and the fries. It tasted sweet, extremely sweet. The bun was sweet, the sauce had a sugar explosion and even the meat had a funny taste like a sugar substitute. I did not eat it all and left. Half an hour later I became quite sick and had to throw up. The sugar overdose I had, was one to remember. Last year I read that sugar is as addictive as cocaine and very cheap for our food industry to use in all sorts of products. We are hooked to that trash and we have become junkies. The only way to become healthier is lowering the use of that bit by bit and becoming very aware of the absolte filth many feed their bodies with.
@Eitner100, you are so right. Stopping sugar will bring on a headache the same as stopping caffeine. I did both. Due to autoimmune disease, I am now carnivore and feel great. Grass fed beef and free-range duck eggs. The only way to get sugar out of the diet in the US is to make everything at home. Nothing prepackaged.
@@barbedwire_lace2160what autoimmune are you suffering from? im having bad immune response from gluten
KETOGENIC DIET.
Something similar happened to me; I stopped eating junk food in the late 90s, but one afternoon in 2005 I had to go to a job interview; it has been a long day and I was starving, I did not have the time to go home and cook so I grabbed a burger, some fries, and a milkshake from MacDonald's... luckily I made it through the interview (and got the job), but it was in the nick of time because I had already begun yo feel ill at the end of the interview and by the time I got home, I rushed straight for the toilet...and there I sat for most of the night with stomach cramps and...well, I'll spare you the details. And I do not care what some might say; meat, bread, and vegetables are not meant to make you feel that way because after all, I home cook and eat all three food groups at home and that never causes me problems. My guess is that it was as OP said, am incredibly increase in my blood sugar levels, but I bet that all the transfats in the junk food had something to do with it as well.
@@xladder3972 No disease whatsoever. I just lowered my sugar intake in a decade to a minimum, and had a bad reaction to that specific BK menu. I love icecream and chocolate f.e. and eat it every now and then, but I never reacted to those products as I did to that sugar loaded explosion of BK.
Hamburgers themselves aren’t junk food… cook them at home so you know what is going on and in them.. choose your bread wisely or make your own.. use real cheese, not cheese products.. use veggies on it instead of sauces like mayo and ketchup filled with sugars
I hate junk food, but, since I developed ptsd I go into emotional eating binges where I eat it until I feel sick, and still struggle to stop. Eventually I recover enough and go back to my healthy diet.
Yes because is like every other addictions... we find reasons to go back to bad habits...
I changed my eating routine a few years ago in order to lose some weight. I was successful and continue this routine so as to maintain this lower weight. The routine includes eating less food, obviously, and trying to make sure the food I do eat has some nutritional value. One result has been an increased sensitivity to tastes and flavors - now just about ANYTHING tastes good. I have found that I don't have to be bludgeoned by the sugar, salt, and fat that characterize fast and junk food. Now a hamburger or pizza is an occasional treat to enjoy, rather than a regular diet that keeps me full and uninterested in less over flavored foods.
That pizza once or twice a month becomes much more delicious than eating every week junk food...
I started water fasting and in 2 weeks i stopped having cravings for sweet and now when i see or smell sweet i get sick from it. I smell cookies or desert from stores and the very strong sweet smell hits me. I only crave for very fatty meat and dairy i cant hold carbs.
Once you lose the sweet tooth, this stuff looks revolting
Only when you see a full tables worth for multiple people. When you see a small serving it can look quite tasty.
Ultra sweet foods like cakes and cookies are too sweet and cause a sugar rush and crash!.. I'd rather have a mandarin or other type of fruit to cure my sweet tooth! Once you become more sensitive to sugar, you realize natural fruit is enough !
I try not to eat these products. I'm aware how damaging are them for our body but sometimes is very difficult to avoid it because you can find them in every corner, And if you're hungry. You have to have a huge willpower.
You become food smart after watching these types of documentaries 👌... don't buy into advertisements! Buy into how you feel !
I can’t even remember the last time I’ve had an Oreo.. if you want cookies make them at home also then you don’t get all the hydrogenated oils and preservatives and can adjust the sugar
Yeah, personally don't like Oreos either. Just sweetness, not much flavour or texture. It is easy to eat a lot because they are really not dense at all
I understand the how and why, but the question is how do we change that on a large scale?
Eating healthy has a tremendous price tag these days .
This! In a way people with less income are forced into these foods in todays society
It is an eye-opener, thanks for sharing it with us.
Marketing and commercials play a big part. People are bombarded with messaging.
Parents start kids off young on junk and sugar. Behind any child who doesn't have an income, it would be the care giver who get kids hooked on junk food
I am addicted to sugar which comes in form of chocolate. I don‘t eat other junk food. Still, I eat waaaay to much chocolate, in a very unhealthy way of too much.
Yum.atleast its not marijuana 😢
Brush ur teeth ull be good
@luticia, I hope it is at least good dark chocolate. 🤗
@@barbedwire_lace2160I highly doubt it or they wouldn't consider it a problem.
Just make it a small portion and eat chocolate sloooowly. Enjoy it sloooowly. Making it a lovely habit
I have a bladder condition where i cannot eat sugar at all. Unless its milk or fruit whereas its naturally occurring i get terrible symptoms almost immediately. I wish our bodies were more sensitive to sugar, processed oil, and chemical preservative
im pretty sensitive to sugar and hate it as well. I can understand people who can eat chocolate or candy. the flip side is that I really love meat and feel so bad for the animals etc.. as a child I basically only ate meat .. I was force fed rice but used to cry for hours while being force fed.
I have a bladder condition as well. Which stops me from eating about 80% of foods out there. It’s so hard to
Oreos in the US do not have whey powder or any dairy. Here, they are accidentally vegan.
And they have high fructose corn syrup
I'm absolutely a sweet tooth😂.
But now that I cook myself meals.
I actually lost sm weight.
Sure sometimes I use sm sugar for dinner.
For example sm cinnamon for curry or for pastry that I make myself.
But that's at least controlled and I eat way less sugar than what is recommended from any health politics here in germany.
It isn't as tasty as chocolate yes.
But it's healthy and can taste good.
We also have to start making babie food ourselves.
A good prepared vegetables pan blended for the babie/kid.
And that as a meal prep for many days saves not only time.
But also money, is more healthy if made the right way and makes the kid not as addicted later on.
And it's more used to it.
Sure sm sweets should be allowed.
But that through fruits or controlled sweets intake.
If you show the kids from early age sweets can be harmful.
Then they will understand it sooner or later in life.
Also cooking with not much time is possible.
You just have to know what is possible.
As parents we have the responsibility atleast for the first years.
Until they make food themselves.
We can show kids a different life if we invest our time into making the life healthy.
If people ate ethically and considered environmental impact, they wouldn't eat so much processed or takeaway foods.
It’s very difficult to stop your child from eating too much sugar we give her healthy meals all week and a treat once a week I think that is a good balance but it is a constant battle 🤷🏻♂️
Love this laughed all the way through 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Why are we addicted to junk food?"
Through intentional use of a lot of monosodium glutamate and sugar by the food industry. Here's your answer!
I decided to cut out all foods that contain seed oils and foods with artificial sweeteners . ...it hasn't left much for me to choose from but i do feel extremely healthy now
How long have you been avoiding these ingredients and when did you feel a noticeable difference? I started doing the same over 2 weeks ago plus some preservatives. I’m watching this now for encouragement because it’s been harder than I expected; I’ve never considered quitting something so soon.
You must not cook for yourself, because there is plenty to choose from if you are doing your own cooking.
There is an awful lot to choose from: fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, nuts, dairy foods like cheese and yoghurt, potatoes, maize, rice....
just a small note...a real hamburger is not bad at all... a fast food hamburger is bad
The food giants make "disgustingly good grub"? Seriously? Maybe if more people actually learned to cook properly, they'd learn the difference between boring ultra-processed rubbish and tasty real food.
They literally hire extremely smart people to get the right combination of addictiveness.
Bread and butter. Yummy 😋
Im trying to cut out UPF and hoping when i do try them they start to tastw different
I was a suger addict for all my life, got a suggestion to try coconut cream (to put in the fridge as icecream). I stoped eating candy and bad food and just had one cup of coconut cream first week. Now I dont have any of it and I dont crave sugar eather.
Be careful. There's no such thing as used to be a addict of any kind. Once an addict always an addict. Stephen King in one of his novels wrote the dreadful patient persistence of addiction. Don't get cocky. I'm proud of you for abandoning your habit but don't get lacks you are always an an addict you're just in remission
Thnx for the reminder
@@phillatella6470
I liked the payed ad at the beginning from a chocolate bar giant, hahahahaha!
I haven’t had any fast food since the start of the year I feel a lot better for cutting the sugar and other stuff out the thing is children are exposed are sugar every day even at school so that’s all they no I would like to thank this gentleman for shedding a light into the unknown world
The Yale epidemiologist: look at the size of him, and he’s so young!
That blew my mind, rats wanting the sugar solution more than cocaine! Sugar is more addictive than cocaine the what?😮
Beautiful 😍
junk food is a substitute for priceless God-food of perfect Love--we are all "running on empty"!
Our grocery stores must’ve heard his advice on baskets and got rid of all of them. Now it’s cart or carry everything. I just use my reusable grocery bag as a basket.
What is up with Britain being involved in so many obesity and health documentaries, but are also just as complicit in the unhealthy production of junk food?
The music is too loud
I only use convenience food during travelling and only if it's a last resort...
Ultra-processed = Food turned into addictive drugs with strange additives that ordinary people can't even pronounce
I got very sick after eating McDonald's cheeseburger 35 years ago and haven't eaten at fast food place since. I have NO diabetes or high blood pressure. Never again!
Okay, the ketchup ad was pretty funny!
That stop light packaging couldn’t be abused at all 🤦♀️
I’m going to give up 🆙 junk food 🥘 all together because these processed junk foods literally shorten your life and leads to a host of illnesses and diseases and eventually death 💀
To say our ancestors only ate to survive is like saying they only had sex to reproduce… Good food is one of the great pleasures in life…
Our ancestors didn't have the array of foods that we have today. They hunted and collected fruits, berries, etc. They were lucky to have enough to eat at times. That's all the narrator means. Their thought processes didn't extend to anything more than subsistence living.
How you enjoy life if you are sick, low energy and look like a potato?
I'm 4 years eating clean whole foods. I totally Rock!🏋♀💪🍎Rrrrrrrrr
And I was under the impression that we have many types of yoghurt, for ex, due to the many numbers of producers, you know, free market, many participants to it... This is another of those documentaries that make hate of capitalism and forget that freedom comes with responsibility...like for ex., the responsibility in shopping.
There are no different types of yogurts. It is only different types of packaging. Read ingredients - you will see it is all same crap.
Really you need a whole documentary just to answer that question? Because it damn well taste good.
The roots of this addiction = The horrible system we're all born and try to survive in.
We eat too much just to get over all the crazy high amount of stress that we experience from the time we wake up till we sleep.
Fries , Chips , oily things make stress go away.
Sugar brings happiness and fantasies.
It’s the junk food that actually causes the stress in the first place and the thought that it brings relief is what results in the vicious cycle.
WHY put tax on fat when it’s essential for human life, whereas carbohydrates ( sugars) are not, ingested that is ??????????? Eat the meat while it’s still legal !!!!
That’s pretty bad don’t eat the two things your body needs the most besides proteins, fat and salt. That certainly got us know where health wise.
I have no love for sugar. Fat and salt, however....
At least I don't really snack as a matter of preference and principal. The only snack I've eaten in the last 5 years are... chocolate that I'm rotating out of my emergency supply and I think a total of maybe 3 serving of ice cream on very hot days.
But damn, do I eat too much meat.... Steak, lamb chop, skewers, hot pot, briskets, ribs... I love them all.
Only sugars and carbs are bad for you.
@@frugalhappy9572 Just about anything in excess is bad for you, sugar just have a low bar, relatively speaking, to be excessive.
Unfortunately my diet is not pure enough to reach keto level, so I am ingesting too much fat that aren't being properly metabolized.
I also consume a lot of salt, although there are some debates on whether that is actually harmful. Most think it is though.
I have the opposite problem I can’t eat anything I didn’t eat in 5 days
If u use a cart u will buy more.
Surely sugars are detrimental to people, however, this presentation leaves out so much it is difficult to determine where to start. One thing to say Gub'Ment taxes have nothing to do with public health and more to do with Gub'Ment revenue.
It's delicious 😋, leaves you craving for more 🍔 and the satisfaction & pleasure is unmatched. Scientifically saying it's addictive. Just like Heroine, Cocain, and other Neurotic drugs 💊.
Delicious garbage, I hate the taste of this shyte
Because it’s fast and easy
Our tummys are organs , stretchable too , the more we stuff the more we stretch it, the more is required & how we get heavy people's , 💝🚴♀️
Emotions , not a light subject, if u r troubles 4 little kids, you hurt them to pieces, so much so , they like woah & check out early, they leave kids behind, 💝😳 & sometimes they follow them, but it hurts them deeply, I think alot of us have monster's in our closets, I grew up with some so I know, but somebody can see through closets & houses & heart's too , & minds & thinking & feeling , & we don't get away with hurting others , it's so simple but so complicated at the same time , it bottles the mind how much troubles people's can get themselves into, y they warn us of strong drink 🍸 it does things to our brains so that we loose sight of right & wrong & people get hurt even little ones get bad hurt , has to be a Judge , a upright , and holy Judge , cause we in need of one & yeah He exists, just like us do ! 💝🚴♀️
because the mcdonald brothers invented the big mac!
i eat mcdonalds like twice a year
If it tastes good then it's not good for you.
There are fruits and vegetables that taste good. Overgeneralization is not wise.
I know! in this case to help make a point i was hoping it fits. This is for the people whos taste buds have been so far distracted. @@MassEffectGER
Actually worse addiction than tobacco and more rampant. Because there is no stigma. We are starting to see the effect this stuff has on the youth. But without a stigma people don't care.
Soundscape in this video is a mess.
Cook all meals at home from raw ingredients. Have a sweet treat now and then but not continually. Also make my own live yogurt.
Most of the junk comes from the food manufactures now, i wish i kept a loaf of bread from 1986
I just don’t buy any industrial food !!!! Zero zero ! Only fresh organic fruits and vegetables, eating them raw or steamed ! Up to anyone to choose the way one wants to dye and how quickly/painfully
If you change your dietary habits to a healthier lifestyle you will eventually notice you crave the feeling you get from those nutritious foods and will only crave junk food on occasion.
I dont think this synthetic food is delicious, im always surprised when i hear that. I always think it is either sweet or salty, but there are very few other flavours. I do eat a bit for convenience, but its so bland i absolutely minimise my consumption.
Sugar is cool
Seems every damn thing is bad...js..some are even saying FRUIT😫🙄🙄..you wont croak over a cheeseburger or something you like every blue moon..
I disagree about the free-choice bit. Consumers have to educate themselves
Food corporations hard to fight. Obesity hard to fight.
Food options are NOT unlimited today. Millions are in famine and food costs a lot of money. Carbohydrates are brains’ food and the fact that they taste good is extremely reasonable and good
Natural fats are good. Lard, tallow, butter and Ghee. Fatty meat is good. Avoid sugar and all carbs. This is the healthiest. U won't eat processed foods. Mostly meat and a little veggies.
Ps. Don’t take children shopping.
I wouldn't take advice from someone who can't take the advice himself 18:00
We should give a dam s…. On practical food, we should only be concerned with healthy food, no ? 😢
That's how the corporate companies designed food
Sugar is my crack
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is nonsense. Sugar is not addictive. Salt, fat, sugar, and other ingredients makes food tastes frigging good. People want to continue to eat it even when they are not genuinely hungry. This is not the same thing as genuine "addiction".
So enjoy it for yourself 🎉 but don’t complain in the future when you are sick on chronic diseases ! Have fun
@@jll1695 WTF? I only said people eat too much food because it tastes good not because they have an addiction. Calling overeating an addiction is a cop out. You are not helpless. Anyone can control how much food they stuff in their face. You just got to want too.
quit sugar „100% to get my sixpack conserved for summer
i would have watched this if it hadn't been for the "m o o s i k" aieee! a thumbs down because of that
It’s a personal choice. I do not eat junk but I am free to do so. Info from a commercial? How dumb can one be?
Fruits and vegetables? Those are definitely not "healthy foods". Those are just a little bit less dangerous than processed fruits, vegetables and grains.
If somebody wants to be healthy he should be eating meat and refrain from that plant nonsense...
But some people seam to do well on fruits and vegetables? What about the Mediterranean where they eat grains veggies and fruit.
@@underated17 "But some people seam to do well on fruits and vegetables?"
No. They just get all the diseases (such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, dementia) but it takes a little longer than those eating refined fruits, vegetables and grains.
" What about the Mediterranean where they eat grains veggies and fruit."
The Mediterranean eat traditionally a lot of meat in the first place and only relatively small portion of plant foods...
@@btudrus The media makes it seem like the reason that the Mediterranean people are healthy is due to their low consumption of red meat and all of the veggies and seeds they eat makes them healthy.
However, we cannot deny that the blue zone areas live a long time in Japan and Korea and the Seventh Day Adventist?
@@underated17 "However, we cannot deny that the blue zone areas live a long time in Japan and Korea"
Just a stupid propaganda. Japanese eat a LOT of meat: ua-cam.com/video/nj_2b-3k47Y/v-deo.html
"and the Seventh Day Adventist"
Seventh day adventists are those who are pushing all this anti-meat nonsense and have been doing so since the last 150 years.
Yes, they are are good at claimining all sortst of ridiculous things but are not healthier than others...

No you're not. I am.
Not very good doc in my opinion.
Produce crap 😅
True & real reasons as to why people eat junk food:-
1. Fruits & vegetables are way more expensive than junk food.
2. No one cares anymore about health as moat people are suffering with mental illness (one or many).
3. Junk food is readily makes you feel better & because of the cheap price range, junk food is seen as a "better" option.
4. Cheapest foods available.
5. Most people don't care anymore about health.
6. Not everyone is educated enough on food & especially junk foods.
7. Emotions over logic when it comes to food.
This comment sums it up perfectly
No true at all. Fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, seeds…… just to name a few are some of the earths most healthiest food and they are very clean to eat and affordable (Super cheap) even dollar stores have 1lb bag of lentils, beans…. For ex. A whole family can make and eat a delicious veggie soup by adding just a few veggies.
While processed junk food such as chips, cookies, cakes, ice cream, candy, pastries are way more expensive! It’s a persons choice to chose a poor lifestyle or a thriving one.
