BBC Panorama – The hunt for healthy food for children
BBC News – Panorama – The hunt for healthy food for children
Tremendous expose of children’s food and tricks currently being used to dupe parents.
Cow & Gates excuse for the high sugar in their follow on milk was a study that showed high protein children’s diets lead to obesity.
However what the study actually reveals is that too much meat and dairy can lead to obesity and certainly NOT that sugar is better than fat and protein!
The study from the Research Institute of Child Nutrition revealed
The ages of 12 months and 5-6 y were identified as critical ages at which higher total and animal, but not vegetable, protein intakes were positively related to later body fatness.
Welcome to our 799th post here at The Curling News Blog… and our last one on the Blogger platform.
Each and every posting dating back more than four years, starting with our very first one in September 2005, has moved over to our new bloghome, which is located here.
This is, of course, also the location of our brand-new website, which launched somewhat quietly during the Canadian (Olympic) Curling Trials earlier in December.
As you can see from the screen capture above, we have kicked things off with a new blogpost at our new home. So do check back, and often, at our new location… just as so many of you curling fans did at this former location, and quite religiously, over the years.
We’ve moved, but we’re not leaving. We are The Curling News, founded in 1957, and we love curling.
Merry Ho Ho, everyone!
