Sugar games

While we do need some carbohydrate in our diet, it is easy to eat too much sugar. Do you know how much sugar is in what you eat?

To engage families in a fun activity to learn about how much sugar is in common foods we eat, Rowan Poots, John Ng and Karen Cosgrove designed a game which was on show at Manchester Art and Science Festival.

Children and adults were able to guess the amount of sugar in different foods, and when the answers were revealed, could compare this to the recommended daily maximum sugar intake. There were a few surprises in store!
