Why Sugar Is Hiding in 74% of Everything You Eat |

Researchers analyzed food products in American supermarkets and found that roughly 74% contain added sugar hiding in bread, pasta sauce, salad dressing, and "healthy" snacks under dozens of different names. In this video, we trace the complete global sugar supply chain: from Brazilian sugarcane plantations and European sugar beet farms, through mills and refineries that turn brown raw sugar into white crystals, to the corn fields that quietly replaced sugar in American soft drinks. You'll also learn how high-fructose corn syrup took over in the 1980s, why US sugar prices are roughly double the world market price, how 4,400 sugar producers captured billions in protection through lobbying, and how sugar taxes and stevia are now reshaping the entire industry. Goods by Global | The Hidden Supply Chains Behind Everything You Use Deep-dive documentaries on the supply chains that secretly run the world — coffee, computer chips, fresh water, beef, concrete, electric vehicles, and more. Every product you touch has an incredible journey behind it: mines and farms on the other side of the world, factories with impossible engineering, global trade routes, geopolitical battles, and hidden crises most people never hear about. We trace those journeys from raw material to your hands — and explain why things cost what they do, who controls what, and where the whole system is fragile. Each episode explores a different industry: how it works, where it breaks, and what it reveals about the global economy. From the one company that makes 90% of the world's advanced chips, to the black market for sand, to the four companies that control America's beef — these are the systems hiding in plain sight.
