Gameau doesn't just pick the easy targets such as icecream, fries, hamburgers and the like - he eats "normal" and shows us just how "normal" it really is.
But he also delves beneath the skin using clever film-making techniques to takes us through how the body physically deals with this overload of sugar.
Throughout his entertaining and informative journey, Gameau is closely monitored by health professionals who are astounded at how quickly his body begins to feels the damaging effects of his altered food intake.
