Jamie Oliver Announces Two Channel 4 Projects

Professional chef Jamie Oliver is back on the campaign trail with two Channel 4 TV projects focused on healthier eating.

In a one-off documentary Jamie's Sugar Rush, he will investigate the huge contribution sugar is making to rising global health problems. Jamie will be travelling the world, visiting countries such as Mexico, to investigate how everyone from young children to parents are being affected by advertising for sugary products, how many 'healthy' foods are actually sugar-laden and can be damaging to our health, as well as meeting people suffering the devastating effects of Type 2 diabetes, brought on partly by excess sugar in their diets. Jamie will be asking challenging questions about the urgent action needed to address this global issue.

Meanwhile in Jamie's Super Food, a six-part series, Jamie will be also be on the road, this time travelling to some of the healthiest places on the planet to uncover the secrets of just why these areas have the most centenarians in the world. He'll then bring all that knowledge back to the UK, providing us with easy, exciting, delicious recipes that we can cook up at home, every day.

Both projects are being made by Fresh One Productions. Jamie's Sugar Rush is commissioned by Commissioning Editor, Specialist Factual, Sara Ramsden, while Jamie's Super Food is commissioned by Head of Features, Gill Wilson and Commissioning Editor, Features, Lizi Wootton.
