Diabetes has become a painful, complex and costly health problem in Australia. While obvious factors such as accessibility of transport and availability of junk food impact our life style and mobility, researchers are trying to find the link between our genetic code and environmental impact.
Through personal stories and scientific insight SBS's three-part documentary series The Obesity Myth challenges our misconceptions about obesity as a lifestyle choice. The series follows the work of Melbourne's Austin Health which treats obesity as a disease largely driven by genetics.
Broadcast on the 12th of September, 2017.
