Just 15 and one of the youngest surfers to tackle 20-foot

:00:00.:00:11.

And a new Beatrix Potter book - the first for 40 years.

:00:12.:00:26.

First, you probably know too much sugar is bad for your health.

:00:27.:00:29.

But sometimes it's tricky to know exactly how much of it is actually

:00:30.:00:33.

Ricky met some kids who are using new technology to watch

:00:34.:00:37.

The fightback against eating and drinking too much sugar

:00:38.:00:48.

continues, only this year technology has been drafted in to try

:00:49.:00:51.

An app supported by the government in England has just been launched

:00:52.:00:57.

to help you work out what's in your food.

:00:58.:01:00.

You scan the item's barcode and it should tell you the amount of sugar

:01:01.:01:03.

Working out what's in your food isn't always easy, so we set this

:01:04.:01:10.

I've come to this school to meet a group of kids who have been

:01:11.:01:16.

Let's find out how they are getting on.

:01:17.:01:22.

Well, basically, I eat more sugar than I should.

:01:23.:01:26.

Amanda is a nutritionist and she can't wait to get her hands

:01:27.:01:29.

Depending on the packet of sweets, it could be six teaspoons' worth

:01:30.:01:40.

of sugar, so you've blown all your sugar in one go

:01:41.:01:42.

I had toast with boiled eggs and a glass of juice.

:01:43.:01:51.

This has probably got about two and a bit teaspoons in a sugary

:01:52.:02:02.

cereal, so this has got much, much less, toast and boiled egg,

:02:03.:02:05.

You don't want to cut out all sugar, we're not saying have none at all,

:02:06.:02:12.

but given that you've got cake and a cookie,

:02:13.:02:14.

shall we just get rid of one of them?

:02:15.:02:16.

It may seem fine on the outside but too much of it can cause tooth

:02:17.:02:25.

decay and lead up to the build up of harmful fats on the inside,

:02:26.:02:28.

which can cause weight gain and even type II diabetes.

:02:29.:02:33.

Doctors recommend no more than 24 grams, that's about six sugarcubes

:02:34.:02:36.

a day if you are aged between seven and ten,

:02:37.:02:41.

so knowing exactly how much sugar is in your food and drinks and how

:02:42.:02:45.

to cut it down can go a long way in keeping you healthy.

:02:46.:02:49.

An amazing discovery has meant there's going to be a brand

:02:50.:02:54.
