Sweets also have their place - "sugar traps" and the best alternatives

VHS@home on Tuesday, 20 April, 5 to 6.30 pm

On Tuesday, 20 April 2021, from 5 to 6.30 pm, the adult education centre invites you to an online course on the topic of "Sweets also have their place". It will explain which products contain lurking "sugar traps" and what the best alternatives to sugar consumption are.

Participation is free of charge. Anyone interested can register by 2 p.m. on 20 April atwww.vhs-chemnitz.de or 0371 488 4343 and will receive an access link by email.

Most children love sweets and snacks. And they don't have to give them up completely. A healthy diet and sweets are not mutually exclusive. But it is important for parents and children to know where sugar is hidden - and not just in sweets, but also in supposedly sugar-free foods.

The course provides interesting facts about sugar and dental hygiene, gives recommendations on the appropriate amount of sugar for children and on natural alternatives. It also explains how to recognise sugar in the list of ingredients and where the classic "sugar traps" lurk.
