It doesn't even need eating implements: burgers, hotdogs, pizzas, pies and pastries are all finger-foods, and fizzy drinks can be consumed straight from the can. What's more, these finger-foods are 'tasty', because the high quantities of fat, salt and food additives disguise poor-quality ingredients. fizzy drinks satisfy our human craving for sweetness (there's the equivalent of three tablespoons of sugar in each can), as do sugary snacks like biscuits and chocolate bars.

Carmoisine (E122 or Red 3), a red dye, is used in jellies, sweets, blancmanges, marzipan and cheesecake mixes. You'll also find it in novelty cakes. • Ponceau 4R (El24 or Red 7), also red, is used in European tinned fruit, jellies and salamis. Smarties and Simpson's cakes also contain it. In addition to the devastating effects of additives in children (and adults), the excessive consumption of sugar by children has highly destructive effects on their development. It sows the seeds for many illnesses, including diabetes and obesity.

What's more, these finger-foods are 'tasty', because the high quantities of fat, salt and food additives disguise poor-quality ingredients. fizzy drinks satisfy our human craving for sweetness (there's the equivalent of three tablespoons of sugar in each can), as do sugary snacks like biscuits and chocolate bars. The addiction has been building up for some time, since fast-food outlets proliferated in the second half of the twentieth century and restaurants like McDonald's became associated with days out, treats and parties.

But if they still offer the choice of fatty snacks, biscuits and fizzy drinks, children are more than likely to choose the junk. In some countries, school lunches have actually fed the junk-food habit. In 2005, Jamie Oliver caused a national outcry in Britain with a TV series drawing attention to the type of food being fed to large numbers of the nation's children.

They start the day with a sugary cereal, and continue at regular intervals with cans of fizzy drinks, cakes and biscuits, chocolate bars and sweets. As a body fuel, sugar is worse than useless. It provides an immediate 'sugar high', which in many children can lead to hyperactivity and impulsiveness, so they're unable to settle down and learn in school. But this high soon wears off, leaving the body craving more sugar. The child then has the option of feeling cranky and miserable or refuelling with sugar for another high. Hence the regular sugary snacks.

Human beings had already learned to extend their waking hours by the regular absorption of caffeine (in coffee, tea and, most recently, fizzy drinks), to which most of the developed world is now addicted. Gradually, through the twentieth century, people have slept less and less, and rushed about more and more. Indeed, we now seem positively to resent time spent sleeping, or even resting. As science writer Paul Martin points out in his book Counting Sheep, 'Having nothing to do is seen as a sign of worthlessness, while ceaseless activity signifies status and success.

One particular additive, found in most fizzy drinks, is proven to keep people awake: caffeine. Indeed, three cans of Diet Coke deliver as big a caffeine hit as a regular espresso. As the French essayist Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said in 1825, 'It is the duty of all mamas and papas to forbid their children to drink coffee, unless they wish to have little dried-up machines, stunted and old, at the age of twenty', but many parents, diligent about banning coffee, are unaware of the caffeine cocktail available in fast food and soft drinks.

The New Optimum Nutrition Bible Patrick Holford See book keywords and concepts

Glucose is the main fuel for the brain and body, and when blood glucose levels fluctuate wildly all day on a roller-coaster ride of refined carbohydrates, stimulants, sweets, chocolate, fizzy drinks, juices, and little or no fiber to slow the glucose absorption, it is not surprising that levels of activity, concentration, focus, and behavior will also fluctuate wildly, as is seen in children with ADHD.

However, fizzy drinks containing phosphorus can inhibit calcium absorption, as can drinks containing caffeine. A cola drink that contains both is therefore bad news. If you drink only pure water or distilled water, ensure that you are getting all the minerals you need from your diet and supplements. The majority of water filters cannot help but remove some of the good minerals along with the bad, so the same applies. Most important of all, whatever kind of water you drink, make sure you drink enough.

Living the Low Carb Life: Controlled Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S. See book keywords and concepts

The MacKarness diet suggests that carbs be kept as low as possible— no more than 60 grams a day for most people (and in some cases 50 grams or fewer a day). This figure is in the ballpark of the recommendations of many low-carb diet books of today (Life Without Bread recommends a maximum of 72 grams a day, and the ongoing weight loss and maintenance programs of the Atkins diet and Protein Power are in the MacKarness range, as is the beginning program for overweight sedentary people adhering to the Schwarzbein Principle.

Teas sweetened with fruit juice can be transformed into fizzy drinks or frozen into enticing popsicles. (Note: Don't use honey as a sweetener for children under two years of age— there is a microorganism in honey, which is otherwise quite innocent, that sometimes makes them ill. Alternatives include barley and fruit-based sweeteners.) Sometimes a little parental creativity is more effective than the tastiest sweeteners. One of my students, Jennifer, found that her two young children did not want anything to do with herbs.

Encourage all sick children to drink plenty of fluids, preferably water, herb teas, or diluted fruit juice (not sweet or fizzy drinks, as sugar is a stimulant), either warm or cold as desired. Don't give acidic drinks (orange or lemon juice) to a child with mumps, as they will irritate sore salivary glands. Children who are reluctant to drink will often suck on a wet sponge or washcloth, especially if the water is warm, or try an ice cube or frozen fruit juice. If you are breastfeeding a sick baby, continue to nurse as often as your baby asks. The breast is comforting at a time like this.
