New app shows how many cubes of sugar are in your favourite foods

New app shows how many cubes of sugar are in your favourite foods #SugarSmart

We've long been told that dangerous amounts of sugar lurk in some of our favourite food and drinks, and now a new app will let you know exactly how much you might be inadvertently consuming.

The free app, from Public Health England (PHE), works by scanning barcodes and revealing the item's sugar content in terms of grams or equivalent cubes. It can be used on more than 75,000 products.

The app, which has been released as part of PHE's Change4Life advertising campaign, is available on the Apple App Store or Google Play.

PHE are hoping parents will use the app to steer their kids away from high sugar products, opting for healthier alternatives instead and helping to reduce tooth decay, obesity and type two diabetes.

Young children are consuming three times more than the recommended amount of sugar, PHE say, with 30% of the sugar in kids diets coming from sugary drinks including pop, juices, squashes and energy drinks. Five year olds consume their own weight in sugar each year, campaigners say.
