Here's the Wiki page.

It presented a lot of very specific metabolic and digestive info that's simply outside of my field of expertise, but the film paints a sad and horrifying picture.

One thing that stuck out for me was the film's matter-of-fact statement that the dreaded HFCS is not inherently worse than other sugars, despite what you'll commonly read in GD. The film went to considerable lengths to demonstrate and explain how "all calories are not equal," and that the means of consumption (e.g. sugary soda vs. fiber-rich fruit) plays a significant role in absorption and metabolism of sugar.

However, cynic that I am, I'm reluctant to embrace the film as a whole until I've heard from others who are in a position to assess it.

Have you seen it? What do you think?
