[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 937552, member: 12578"] Yes, and that isn't new. My son had to go to the dental hospital at King's College S.E London back in about 1982 ( one of his teeth was twice as big as it should be). Our cubicle was directly opposite a 3 year old who was about to have her all her baby teeth extracted; cause not coke but Ribena in a 'comforter' Are we eating more added sugar? No doubt that we are eating more than we would have in before the early 19th century.I'mnot so sure that we are eating more than was eaten in the 1950s. It's hard to say since I don't think that statistics always show the truth (ie some suggest calorie intake has fallen and I don't believe that at all!) What I have seen does show a huge increase in intake after sugar came off ration (all those puddings and fairy cakes and iced gems and jam with rice pudding, in sandwiches and even sugar sandwiches, not forgetting the 6d worth of sweets from the corner shop. I can remember sitting there with a stick of rhubarb dipping it into sugar ) My teeth, like I suspect many children of that era are heavily filled. (none in recent years; all from childhood) In contrast, as an 'informed' mother, my children who grew up in the 70s and 80s had rationed sweets They had them after meals, once a week only and squash was artificially sweetened .(teeth wise it worked, no fillings, even today) I doubt I was the only one but this is the first generation that developing type 2 at an earlier age than previously [/QUOTE]
