The dangers of sugar

Cakes, biscuits, fizzy drinks, fruit, preserves, ready meals... Sugar is everywhere. For the doctors there is no longer any room for doubt: toxic and addictive, excessive sugar consumption is dangerous to health, with children the first victims. Should we legislate? How to force the agro-food industry to reduce sugar content?

Guests: Jean-Christophe Adnet, RTBF journalist; Valérie Schwitzgebel, paediatric endocrinologist and diabetologist at the Geneva University Hospitals

Presented by: Dominique Laresche.
