Reports: Junk food for babies? An investigation into foods marketed for babies and young children

The UK baby food market is worth an estimated £315 million annually, and many food products marketed for babies and young children carry claims about their nutritional value, such as 'added vitamins', 'contains calcium' or 'no added salt'. Prompted by the discovery that a leading brand of biscuits for babies and young children contained trans fats, the Children's Food Campaign undertook a survey of foods marketed for babies and young children, analysing the nutritional information provided for 107 foods marketed for babies and young children available from UK supermarkets. The findings were concerning.

Reports: Changing Diets, Changing Minds - how food affects mental health and behaviour

The report pulls together the published evidence linking what we eat to how we feel - from foetal brain development to adolescent behaviour through to Alzheimer's disease. This evidence suggests that changes to our food system (namely the rise of processed foods, food additives, industrialised farming, pesticides, animal fat, and also declining fish stocks) may be partly responsible for the rise in mental health and behavioural problems. Specific conditions discussed include: ADHD, depression, schizophrenia and dementia (particularly Alzheimer's disease). The roles of specific nutrients are also examined, including essential fatty acids (omega-3, or fish oils, and omega-6), hydrogenated (or trans) fats and various micronutrients e.g., selenium, magnesium, iron and vitamin C.
