SUGAR, SUGAR

CHILDREN in Spain scoff more than two times the amount of added sugars recommended by the World Health Organisation.

They consume 55.7 grams of added sugars per day, while the WHO suggests they shouldn’t exceed 25 daily grams.

These figures have been published as part of a study undertaken by Granada University, in which 1,775 adults who have children aged between seven and 12 took part.

Around two thirds of this sugar came from white sugar, sweets, cocoa powder, soft drinks, ice cream, biscuits, industrial cakes, chocolate bars, biscuits and sports drinks.

According to the doctors who oversaw the procedure, it was first carried out in Sweden. So far around 100 uterus transplants have been carried out worldwide,with more than 50 births recorded.
