Is sugar the new fat?

So, in a new documentary, airing on SBS on Monday night, Latta sets out on a journey to peel back the sugar coating and see what truth lies beneath the debate consuming nutrition experts.
First up he meets the man who has become known as the 'anti-sugar guy', endocrinologist and pediatrician, Robert Lustig.
