Dr Michael Mosley seeks to establish the truth about meat. Are those barbecue favourites like burgers and sausages really that bad? Should we all go vegetarian instead? Michael uncovers the latest science and puts it to the test on a high-meat diet. Will eating beef and bacon every day be bad for him? What meat should a healthy carnivore be buying?

Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin. 关于肥胖，三高，心脏病的真相。低脂不是应对政策，果糖也不等于葡萄糖。

One man's journey to discover the bitter truth about sugar. Damon Gameau embarks on a unique experiment to document the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body, consuming only foods that are commonly perceived as 'healthy'. Through this entertaining and informative journey, Damon highlights some of the issues that plague the sugar industry, and where sugar lurks on supermarket shelves.

糖属于碳水化合物，在食物中十分常见，而糖分摄取不足或过量都能致病，常见的有糖尿病、心血管疾病等等。但到底糖是否致病的主因？进食薯片等看似不含糖的可口小吃，又会否影响血糖值？由Fiona Phillips主持的《糖之真相》会为你解开有关糖的种种健康疑惑。四位来自纽卡素的实验对象进行了多项测试，结果展示了糖对人体的真正影响，以及降低糖分摄取量的好处。

In <Is Sugar The New Fat?>, Nigel interviews a number of people including pediatric endocrinologist Dr Robert Lustig, CEO of the New Zealand Food and Grocery Council Katherine Rich, and food technologist Melanie Walsh. Each of these people bring very different perspectives to the discussion around sugar. Dr Lustig is one of the most outspoken voices against sugar. As the Director of Clinical Pediatrics at San Franciso Hospital, he carries not only a wealth of knowledge, but also has seen countless cases of what sugar does to the human body. His stance is there is no question as to whether sugar is toxic. He compares its effects with alcohol and tobacco, and doesn’t beat around the bush as to how harmful it is. Nigel very powerfully and cleverly illustrates the information that he is presenting with various on-location visits and interviews. He starts with a supermarket to examine the sugar content of common foods like tomato sauce, baked beans, and Marmite. He then visits a renal dialysis unit in Auckland to interview the haematologist and his patients with conditions secondary to obesity. The most eye-opening and difficult part to watch was in an operating theatre in Nelson where he interviews a dental surgeon as he pulls the teeth of children as young as two years old due to severe dental decay. The surgeon states that this level of decay can only be caused by sugar consumption. In my work as a paediatric nurse, I am constantly shocked at the amount of children who are given a supply of sugary drinks and are even given soft drinks, fruit juice, and milo in their bottles! Nothing is more convincing, though, than when Nigel volunteers his own diet and body as an experiment. Stating that he does regular exercise and considers his diet to be pretty healthy other than a couple of treats here and there, he is clearly shocked at what the results of his blood tests show. As a result, he decides to quit sugar to see if that shows any improvement. The results speak for themselves. His blood results improved dramatically and he lost about 3.5kg and a belt size. Nigel’s thinking around what is a healthy diet is very typical of our society. Most people are oblivious to how much sugar they are consuming every day, much of it hidden in everyday foods. Fortunately, thanks in part to the increased attention given by the media and documentaries like this one, our society is beginning to become more aware and more concerned about sugar consumption. In fact, the NZ Food & Grocery Council is so concerned about the increased attention towards all the sugar that’s added to food that they flew anti-tax campaigner Chris Snowdon here the same week as Nigel Latta’s documentary was released.

《有毒美女》是一部纪录片，专门向科学家，律师，辩护律师，监管者，政客，充满活力的口哨鼓吹者，幸存者和失去生命的妇女开放。紧接着是针对强生和原告的集体诉讼，这是妇女与这种致命疾病争夺时间的正义故事。在整部电影中编织的都是人类的实验。我们记录到，波士顿大学的医学生Mymy Nguyen从超过27种产品中测量她的化学身体负担。科学家监测了她令人震惊的结果。最后，这部影片与那些为安全，无毒化妆品提供解决方案和乐观态度的公司和人士见面。

Lead in lipstick? 1,4 dioxane in baby soap? Coal tar in shampoo? How is this possible? Simple. The $35 billion cosmetics industry is so powerful that they've kept themselves unregulated for decades. Not one cosmetic product has to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration before hitting the market. Incredible? Consider this: The European Union has banned more than 1,100 chemicals from cosmetics. The United States has banned just 10. Only 11% of chemicals used in cosmetics in the US have been assessed for health and safety -- leaving a staggering 89% with unknown or undisclosed effects; Over 70% of all personal care products may contain phthalates, which are linked to birth defects and infertility; Many baby soaps are contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical 1,4 dioxane. It's not just women who are affected by this chemists' brew. Shampoo, deodorant, face lotion and other products used daily by men, women and children contain hazardous chemicals that the industry claims are "within acceptable limits". But there's nothing acceptable about daily multiple exposures to carcinogenic chemicals -- from products that are supposed to make us feel healthy and beautiful. "Not Just a Pretty Face" delves deeply into the dark side of the beauty industry, and looks to hopeful solutions for a healthier future. This scathing investigation peels away less-than-lovely layers to expose an industry in dire need of an extreme makeover.
