That Sugar Film Movie Guide (NR – 2014) helps students analyze this incredible, eye-opening documentary. Ask your students to internalize why eating an apple, and the sugar that goes along with it, is much healthier than drinking apple juice that contains the sugar of 4 apples. Challenge students to confront the idea that the sugar industry is worth 50 billion dollars and what that means for their need to be vigilant in consuming food products.
