[QUOTE="Phlogiston, post: 808187, member: 156535"] The programme didn't tell me much I didn't already know - it confirmed my predjuces though. To keep it in perspective, we need to remember that it was aimed at the general population - not diabetics, and as popular primetime edu-tainment was not going to be completely rigorous. We all (well, many of us!) know that the food industry uses sugar to increase the palatability of their products and possibly to disguise cheaper recipes. We know that this presents a big long term health risk - way in excess of any concerns about fats. It it gets some folk thinking about and questioning their soda intake, then it has done its job. Then folk can start to consider their carb intake - this will be harder. I think the tide of public opinion on sugar is slowly shifting, in much the same way it did with tobacco and hydrogenated grease a couple of decades ago. [/QUOTE]
