High fructose corn syrup is terrible for your well-being, as are cute documentaries that saccharine coat an important message. Adorable, chipmunk-toothed writer-director Damon Gameau embarked on a 60-day diet of government regulated so-called “healthy” foods, and the end result plays on like an informative, albeit Super Size Me-ish audition reel for a gig at CNN. Various experts are depicted as comic book heroes while celebrity guest stars (Hugh Jackman, Stephen Fry, etc.) pander to the audience, replete with CG contrivances twirling around their heads. The playfully vapid music video that closes the film sent my blood glucose levels soaring. On an up note, here are three essential takeaways: 1) Passing on all things sugary will boost your memory; 2) “Healthy” alternative Jamba Juice contains as much sugar as Coca-Cola; 3) A diet high in sugar leads to an inability to comb one’s hair.
