The shock sugar in YOUR child's food: It looks unbelievable - but in 136 捕らえる、獲得するs, this is the 22 石／投石するs of sugar children now eat by the age of ten. Yet is it any wonder, when (as our grid 明らかにする／漏らすs) so many daily 中心的要素s are LOADED with it

• e-mail

The news that our children are 消費するing nearly 22st of sugar before the age of ten is shocking. But getting their diet 権利 is by no means as straightforward as just 避けるing sugary puddings, cakes and 甘いs.

Sugar is 追加するd to an astonishing array of foods, 含むing many savoury 製品s, too.

Sugars 含む what are called '解放する／自由な sugars' ― for example, sugar or honey 追加するd to sweeten foods, 同様に as unsweetened fruit juices and smoothies.

追加するd sugar should be no more than 5 per cent of our total energy. Other sugars are 設立する 自然に in 酪農場 製品s and whole fruit and vegetables.

によれば our labelling system, more than 22.5g of total sugars per 100g in food counts as 'high', and will be 陳列する，発揮するd in red on nutritional （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状）.

Anything between 5g and 22.5g is 'medium', and will appear amber, while 5g or いっそう少なく per 100g is considered 'low' sugar, and the 人物／姿／数字 will be 陳列する，発揮するd in green.

It looks unbelievable but this is the 22 石／投石するs of su gar children now eat by the age of 10

But Tam Fry, 議長，司会を務める of the 国家の Obesity 会議 警告するs: 'While this 示唆するs some foods are healthier, it doesn't take into account how much of that food you may eat.

'If you have a 製品 with just under 5g of sugar per 100g but eat 400g, you may still be 消費するing almost 20g.'

And the problem with our labelling system is that you often don't know how much of the sugar is 追加するd sugar. 'Look for 追加するd sugar in the 成分s 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） 同様に as the 全体にわたる 量,' says nutritionist Rick Hay.

Tam Fry 追加するs that our food labelling system is designed for the 量s 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 範囲 of food 含むing savoury 製品s on sale

For food 製造業者s, sugar is an incredibly useful 成分 within savoury 製品s ― it 作品 as a preservative and to 貯蔵所d 成分s together.

And it can transform the flavour of bland foods.

But as Mr Fry says: 'We're 追加するing 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 推論する／理由 to do this.

'We're all 麻薬中毒の on it. Sugar in itself isn't a bad thing ― it's the 過度の 量s we're 消費するing. We don't need it to live, but we're all （麻薬）常用者d from a young age. And our children are the ones 苦しむing.

'They are eating two or three times the 量 they need. We should 課す 限界s on how much sugar can be used in every 製品.'
