Kids' Snacks - Nutritious or Not?

If you breathed a sigh of relief when all those 'healthy'
snacks for kids began appearing on the supermarket
shelves some years ago, then you had better read this
book.
Jan Greig is a mother of two who began to wonder just
what was in the so-called healthy snacks that she bought
to pad out her children's lunches or to appease hunger
pangs after school.  She began to research the many
additives that these foods contain, gathering information
about the nature of the additives from a number of
sciemtific sources - and what she discovered alarmed her.

Many popular brands of muesli bar, for example, contain
150 - Chemically Treated Burnt sugar (Caramel), a sub-
stance which, in some forms, may damage genes, reduce
white blood cells and destroy vitamin B6 and 420 - Sorbitol,
which is not permitted in foods intended specifically for
young children.
Kids' Snacks: Nutritious or Not? tells you what is in many
popular brands of Muesli Bars, Processed Cheeses, Sweet
Snacks, Desserts in Cups, Chips and Savoury Snacks etc
and lets you know the possible side effects of these
additives, which have often been banned in many other
countries
