A recent talk by Peter Brukner about the new Sugar by Half Campaign he and other concerned citizens are launching. The description of the video reads:

Peter Brukner OAM, MBBS, FACSP, FACSM, FASMF, FFSEM is a specialist sports and exercise physician and the founding partner at the Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre in Melbourne. Peter is a world renowned sports medicine clinician and researcher. He has recently been Head of Sports Medicine and Sports Science at Liverpool Football Club and is currently Team Doctor for the Australian cricket team.

Peter is Associate Professor in Sports Medicine at the Center for Health, Exercise and Sports Medicine at the University of Melbourne. He has served two terms as President of the Australian College of Sports Physicians during which time he was instrumental in the establishment of a specialist level training program in Australia for sports medicine physicians. Peter was the first Australian to be elected to the Board of the American College of Sports Medicine.

In this video Professor Brukner introduces 'SugarByHalf', a new campaign to halve Australia's sugar consumption. Cutting added sugar by half is the quickest, cheapest and most effective way of reducing chronic disease.

Please get behind this fantastic campaign and help get Australia healthy again.

One of the interesting statistics he gives is that the highest consumers of sugar in Australia are teenage boys. Makes me ponder whether there's any correlation between that and the skyrocketing suicide rates among young men in our country?
