Sugar coated- how much sugar is hiding in some of our favourite snacks?
Briefly

Children aged 4 to 10 should limit sugar to 5-6 cubes daily, yet average consumption is 13 cubes, over double the recommended amount.
Sugary snacks are prevalent, often hidden under misleading labels like "cereal bar" and "fruit roll up," making healthier choices challenging.
To make better food choices, check nutrition labels: High sugar is over 22.5g per 100g, while low is 5g or less. Always check ingredient lists.
For every unhealthy snack, there are nutritious alternatives—e.g., replace sugar-laden cereal bars and sodas with granola bars or freshly squeezed juice.
