Primary school children will be taught how to count sugar cubes as part of the government's anti-obesity push.


English and maths lessons will include anti-sugar messages in an attempt by health bosses to improve children's diets.


Children will use their times tables to work out how much sugar is in a bowl or cereal or a can of fizzy pop and will then see if it is more than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) in new worksheets provided by Public Health England.


They will also be asked to find 'swaps' for healthier food and drink items.


New exercises for English lessons include writing a persuasive letter arguing against consuming too much sugar.


Traditionally the message of cutting sugar intake has been confined to personal, social and health edu-cation lessons – this is the first time PHE has used English and maths to educate children about their diets.


The voluntary worksheets have been welcomed by teachers but critics expressed concern about 'fear-mongering'


Around one in three children leave primary school overweight or obese with severe obesity hitting record levels among year 6 students, aged ten and 11.




Traditionally the message of cutting sugar would only be taught in PHE- now it is being expanded to other subjects
