Are you FED UP? There is a new movie out sponsored by the Institute for Functional Medicine called FED UP (fedupmovie). It opens June 6 at the Landmark Cinema in Peoria and June 16 at the Art Theater in Champaign. It looks very interesting based on the trailer. The focus of the movie is on the abundance of sugar (in a variety of forms) in the American diet. According to the IFM Fed Up Challenge, Sugar is known to increase inflammation, decrease immune function, feed bad bacteria in your gut, and has been linked to such chronic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and migraines. Sugar is also a big contributor to the childhood obesity epidemic. But it is just not sugar but artificial sweeteners as well so diet sodas and sugar free candy are just as bad. I may have to do the Fed Up Challenge (functionalmedicine.org/home/FedUP/). Combine this movie with Food, Inc and Fresh for an eye opening look at the foods we eat.
