A new episode of Le Monde de Jamy will air on Monday, March 23rd at 9:05 PM, featuring the premiere “Sugar: How to Reduce the Dose?” followed by “How to Dress Without Wringing Out the Planet?”
Our sugar consumption has tripled in the last century, a trend linked to a significant rise in diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding our relationship with sugar is increasingly important for public health, as these conditions continue to strain healthcare systems globally.
The program explores why sugar provides both energy and a feeling of immediate satisfaction. Experts will discuss whether it’s possible to reduce sugar intake without sacrificing enjoyment, and how our prehistoric ancestors obtained glucose without access to refined sugar.
Le Monde de Jamy delves into the science of sugar, tracing its effects from the brain to the stomach, revealing its often-underestimated powers. The show also investigates why sugar is so inexpensive and prevalent – found not only in pastries and sodas, but also in processed and even savory foods.
The program will feature a ranking of foods with the highest sugar content, from soft drinks to prepared meals. It will also address the potential for sugar addiction, featuring the story of Anna Roy, a midwife and chronicler, who gained 58 kg in two years. The show will examine whether artificial sweeteners are a viable solution, and their potential health impacts.
The episode will also offer practical solutions, featuring a pastry chef, Elhadj Diop of “Le Destin du Gourmand” in Le Mans, who himself has experienced diabetes, demonstrating how to cook delicious desserts with minimal sugar.

Dr. Réginald Allouche, physician and biomedical engineer
