Non sarebbero uno snack sano

Scoperto che le barrette ai cereali contengono molti grassi e zuccheri

L’immagine delle barrette di cereali come snack sano è solo una ‘leggenda’. In realtà questi alimenti, secondo uno studio finanziato dal gruppo inglese di consumatori ‘Which?’ e di cui parla la Bbc, conterrebbero parecchi grassi e zuccheri. In particolare, dei 30 diversi tipi di barrette esaminate, solo una non aveva alti contenuti di zuccheri, mentre 16 ne avevano più del 30%.

In una c’era l’equivalente di 4 cucchiaini di zucchero – più di quanto ne contenga una piccola lattina di cola e pari al 20% della soglia giornaliera di zuccheri raccomandata. Negli altri snack analizzati sono state riscontrate anche alte quantità di grassi e grassi saturi. Ad esempio, delle sette barrette vendute per i bambini, sei contengono alti livelli di grassi saturi.

L’associazione inglese dei consumatori ha messo a confronto il contenuto nutritivo delle barrette usando le informazioni delle aziende produttrici e usato una sorta di semaforo, apponendo luci rosse, gialle o verdi, quando i livelli di grassi, grassi saturi, zuccheri e sali erano alti, medi o bassi.

”Le aziende devono ridurre il contenuto di zuccheri e grassi nei prodotti destinati ai bambini – commenta Richard Lloyd, direttore esecutivo di ‘Which?’ – e fare controlli più rigidi nel modo in cui sono pubblicizzati. La gente spesso sceglie le barrette di cereali, pensando che siano più sane di cioccolato o biscotti, ma la nostra ricerca dimostra che questo è solo un mito”.

I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

The old you are, a lot more at risk you’re for permitting something terrible happen to you while in another country. If you are certainly not covered by quite a few comprehensive insurance coverage, you could have a number of serious difficulties. Thanks for revealing your hints on this blog.

I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
