Announcing the release of "The Story of Sugar", a short animation

8 October, 2024

Dear colleagues,

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve just released our newest animation, “The Story of Sugar”: https://globalhealthmedia.org/videos/the-story-of-sugar-english/

This short film highlights the harmful effects of sugar and processed food, helps people understand the risks of diabetes, and shows those at risk the lifestyle changes that can lead to better health.

The film was developed in collaboration with Yoni Goodman. Yoni, a world renowned animator, worked with us to create our three other “Story of” videos which have been watched hundreds of millions of times worldwide.

As many of you are aware, the global burden of diabetes is enormous: more than half a billion adults worldwide are living with diabetes, and nearly 75% of them live in low- and middle-income countries.

We released our Diabetes Series ( https://globalhealthmedia.org/topic/diabetes/ ) a few years ago, which includes 34 short, live-action teaching videos on diabetes. The videos are for people who are at risk of diabetes, people who have diabetes, and health workers. All videos are available in English, French, Spanish, and Swahili, and six videos are available in Vietnamese. They are available on our website for streaming and download, and on YouTube.

Kind regards,

Deb
