Janny van der Heijden discovers this in this series. Together with top researchers, Janny tests their insights in practice.
Episode 6 : Context

Every day we make dozens of choices when it comes to food, but how consciously do we actually make those choices? In addition to taste and smell, there are many more factors in our environment that determine our choices. Janny investigates how exactly that works.

And at the Lowlands festival, Janny discovers whether you can steer people towards healthier and more sustainable choices by changing the environment.

Janny discovers how much sugar we unknowingly consume and what that does to our brain. Brace yourself, because the results are shocking. Especially the amount of sugar that young people consume these days.
