@ChildLabour_ I never thought of what they are making at the factories that could be harmful to the children. I always thought about what work they are doing that could be harmful to them.
Don’t be fooled by supermarkets ‘good for you’ foods & fluids - some may be lower in calories, but many contain a colossal amount of #salt#sugar fat &/or saturated fat making them no different to distinctively unhealthier sources

A sweet infographic, with a sour after taste!!
Comparing the recommended daily limit on free #sugar from @WHO, to common foods!
A can of sugary drink has more than the entire limit for an adult! Would dwarf it for kids!
👉 Need policy action.
A survey of blueberry muffins carried out by @actiononsugar and @OHA_updates finds distinct lack of nutrition info available at the point of sale, making it impossible for consumers to know how much sugar they are eating. #lesssugar
How much #sugar do you think a blueberry muffin contains? You may want to rethink your 'healthy' choice after reading this article. https://t.co/KE93a2BGS6
Did you know more than 1/3 of calories in the American diet comes from #sugar & white flour? These dietary components contribute to weight gain, #insulinresistance, & #inflammation.
Added sugar causes your insulin levels to spike which causes inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation produces enzymes which can cause sagging skin and wrinkles.
"People look at me quite incredulously when I tell them that there are now many parts of the world where the average person ... is eating more than 100 lbs of #sugar a year - 2 lb or more a week"- Dr John Yudkin "Pure White & Deadly (1986) #Obesity#Diabetes#HeartDisease#health
@LearnRadiation It depends on your diet. If you are consuming a lot of sugar every day, you should try to cut down on your sugar intake. If you eat pretty healthy on an average day, it wouldn't be very bad to have some treats on Easter.
#Fructose, in HFCS & #sugar, is linked w/ leptin resistance. This, in turn, increases appetite & reduces resting metabolism. Not hard to see how sugar causes weight gain!
