#Sugar Mist Makes Veggies More Palatable to Kids BOSTON A light mist of sugar could help the broccoli

In preliminary studies preschoolers who were served lightly sweetened vegetables (sprayed with a mist of sugar) at lunchtime ate more of the healthy foods compared to those who were served unsweetened vegetables.

Although the researchers tested other ways to mask the vegetables'bitterness including various salts plain sugar worked the best.

Adding such a small amount of sugar means the vegetables do not taste markedly sweet said study researcher Valerie Duffy a professor at the University of Connecticut's Department of Nutritional Sciences.

Rather serving the sugar-enhanced veggies a few times should be enough to get children accustomed to eating them.

The researchers added about a half a teaspoon of sugar which has a mere 8 calories to three-fourths of a cup of vegetables.

#The Amount of Hidden Sugar in Your Diet Might Shock You (Op-Ed) This article was published originally at The Conversation.

Added sugar in our diet is a very recent phenomenon and only occurred when sugar obtained from sugar cane beet

While it may not be surprising that a can of Coca cola has a staggering nine teaspoons of sugar (35g) similar amounts can be found in the most unlikely of foods including flavoured water (Volvic Touch of Fruit Lemon/Lime 27

but what if it also comes with five teaspoons of sugar? Or how about these:

It s clear this sugar plays a part in soaring levels of obesity and diabetes.

and to unmask hidden sugar so consumers can make informed decisions about what they eat and drink.

A similar programme of gradually reducing the amount of added sugar in food and drink products with no substitution in food could prove to be an equally effective and practical way of reducing added sugar in the UK diet.

As with salt a 20-30%reduction in sugar added to food and soft drinks could be achieved over the course of five years

and result in a reduced calorie intake of approximately 100kcal a day going some way to help reverse obesity rates.

There are several parallels between salt and sugar. Like salt most of the sugar we consume is hidden in processed food and soft drinks.

There are also specific taste receptors for sugar which if sugar intake is reduced gradually become more sensitive.

So over time we don t notice that sugar levels have gone down. If we can persuade the Department of health that this programme is very likely to help considerably with the obesity epidemic

and in particular to reduce childhood obesity while also reducing the incidence of dental disease and (very likely) the number of people developing Type 2 diabetes it should have a good chance of success. Graham Macgregor set up
