Turns out, the biggest single source of sugar that kids consume-a lot, are sodas. A single serving of these drinks contain the equivalent of at least nine sugar cubes, already more than the maximum amount of sugar recommended for a child per day.

When the app was put to the test, it also revealed that common kid food and treats contain high sugar levels as well such as breakfast cereals, fruit juices and even yoghurts, with contains almost five cubes each product per serving.

The recommended daily maximum sugar intake for 4-10-year-olds is between just five and six cubes, while seven cubes are considered normal for those who are experiencing puberty from age 11 and up.

Unlike the old times, Sugar is no longer just bad for children because of tooth decay and cavities. The Public Health England has been focusing on the sugar intake of children after numerous studies have found its direct relation to various deadly diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer, which numbers continue to rise up in the country.
