The shock sugar in YOUR child's food: It looks unbelievable - but in 136 bags, this is the 22 stones of sugar children now eat by the age of ten. Yet is it any wonder, when (as our grid reveals) so many daily staples are LOADED with it

•   From the age of two children are eating more than three times their sugar limit
•  Avoiding puddings, cakes and sweets is not the only answer to cut intake
•  People are being urged to watch out for added sugar in products

But Tam Fry, chair of the National Obesity Forum warns: 'While this suggests some foods are healthier, it doesn't take into account how much of that food you may eat.

'If you have a product with just under 5g of sugar per 100g but eat 400g, you may still be consuming almost 20g.'

And the problem with our labelling system is that you often don't know how much of the sugar is added sugar. 'Look for added sugar in the ingredients list as well as the overall amount,' says nutritionist Rick Hay.

Tam Fry adds that our food labelling system is designed for the quantities needed by an adult woman. 'You need to be a mathematical genius to work out how much your children should have,' he says.............
