Second in a three-part study of who controls the nation's eating habits - the consumer or the food giants.

Charting the rise of sugar-based brands, examining how food companies have fuelled this apparent obsession, documenting the strategies they have used and seeing the product's detrimental effects.

[Photo caption] However much the experts say sugar is bad for us, all the sweet talk in Food Junkies gets you reaching for the chocolates

Food Junkies 9.00pm BBC2
If you know what's good for you, you'll put down that slab of chocolate right now. And if you're slurping a glass of that famous fizzy drink that once taught the world to sing in perfect harmony, you'd better pour it down the sink, because the second edition of this three-parter on junk food is all about our unhealthy obsession with sugary foods. It's particularly interesting viewing after last week's slew of films on Channel 4 about the increase in diabetes.
There's plenty of sweet talk from experts, in the shape of chefs Sophie Grigson and Antony Worrall Thompson, a former Milky Bar Kid, nutritionist Jane Clarke and Sir Saxon Tate, former managing director of the famous sugar company. There are also plenty of serious facts and figures, sandwiched between light-hearted, entertaining snippets such as film of an American ice-cream-eating competition and of the "fitness police", who make spot checks on the food that their overweight, sugar-addicted clients keep in their fridge.
The bottom line, of course, is that we all eat far too much sugar, although in our defence some manufacturers are adept at hiding the sugar content of their products. Alas, this documentary is illustrated with so many mouth-watering shots of chocolate, sweets and cakes, no matter how much bad press the sugar gets, it's almost impossible to resist reaching for that last piece of Easter egg while watching.
