That Sugar Film and a Non Sugar Diet

That Sugar Film warns us that even supposedly healthy products contain a lot of sugar and people in the West are exposed to sugar without realizing it. The non-sugar Ikigai Diet can change the dietary culture of the entire planet. In Japan, we don’t eat so much sweet. We don’t have anything sweet for breakfast, such as cereal with sugar, muffins, or pancakes. We don’t have the custom of having dessert after dinner. Even for our tea breaks, we have green tea with pickles, not with cakes or donuts. And yet, we enjoy our life.
