«Breaking News» The hidden sugar in YOUR child's food sees British children consume 22 stones by ten

The news that our children are consuming nearly 22st of sugar before the age of ten is shocking. But getting their diet right is by no means as straightforward as just avoiding sugary puddings, cakes and sweets.

Sugar is added to an astonishing array of foods, including many savoury products, too.

Sugars include what are called 'free sugars' — for example, sugar or honey added to sweeten foods, as well as unsweetened fruit juices and smoothies.

Added sugar should be no more than 5 per cent of our total energy. Other sugars are found naturally in dairy products and whole fruit and vegetables.

According to our labelling system, more than 22.5g of total sugars per 100g in food counts as 'high', and will be displayed in red on nutritional information.

Anything between 5g and 22.5g is 'medium', and will appear amber, while 5g or less per 100g is considered 'low' sugar, and the figure will be displayed in green.

It looks unbelievable but this is the 22 stones of sugar children now eat by the age of 10

But Tam Fry, chair of the National Obesity Forum warns: 'While this suggests some foods are healthier, it doesn't take into account how much of that food you may eat.

'If you have a product with just under 5g of sugar per 100g but eat 400g, you may still be consuming almost 20g.'

And the problem with our labelling system is that you often don't know how much of the sugar is added sugar. 'Look for added sugar in the ingredients list as well as the overall amount,' says nutritionist Rick Hay.

Tam Fry adds that our food labelling system is designed for the quantities needed by an adult woman. 'You need to be a mathematical genius to work out how much your children should have,' he says.

Children are left counting the cost of hidden sugar in a range of food including savoury products on sale

For food manufacturers, sugar is an incredibly useful ingredient within savoury products — it works as a preservative and to bind ingredients together.

And it can transform the flavour of bland foods.

But as Mr Fry says: 'We're adding sugar to everything. It's ridiculous — you buy a loaf of bread and it has two spoons of sugar in it. But there's no nutritional reason to do this.

'We're all hooked on it. Sugar in itself isn't a bad thing — it's the excessive quantities we're consuming. We don't need it to live, but we're all addicted from a young age. And our children are the ones suffering.

'They are eating two or three times the amount they need. We should impose limits on how much sugar can be used in every product.'

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
