HEALTH & FITNESS NEWS Latest snippets from the world of science ... MANUFACTURERS have doubled the amount of sugar in some foods in the past 30 years, according to the British Medical Journal. The increases were seen across dozens of food types. This includes fruit, but the biggest changes are in breakfast cereals and wholemeal bread. “Sugar should be classified as a hard drug, for it is addictive and harmful,” said the BMJ. A typical loaf of wholemeal bread had a third more sugar in 2002 than it had 1978. Between 1978 and 2002, the average banana’s sugar level rose from 16.2g per 100g to 20.9g. Sugar in pears increased from 7.6g per 100g to 10g. Sugar in carrots rose from 5.4g per 100g to 7.4g. |
