The frightening headline read: "They are becoming more and more, and they are getting fatter: a good 3.5 million boys and girls in Germany suffer from obesity". Eight years later, every fifth child in the country was already overweight. The statistics in Austria and Switzerland show comparable results.

Baby fat or obesity?

But when exactly is a child obese (obese)? Numerous Internet tables on body mass index (BMI) provide information. The BMI is calculated by dividing the body weight in kilograms by the height in meters times the height in meters. The BMI standard grows with the size of the child. At the age of four years, a BMI of 16.8 kg / m2 leads to obesity, from 18.2 kg / m2 obesity.

Fat boy is eating sweets

What's so tempting about Coke, cake and other calorie bombs?
"Sugar makes you happy" and "Fat is a flavor carrier" can be summed up by the numerous scientific explanations. If excessive sugar consumption becomes a habit, an addictive factor arises.

The consumption of carbohydrates, and especially sugar, causes the body to release insulin. "This in turn ensures that the blood is deprived of too much blood sugar, so the blood sugar level drops sharply. This then causes the known food cravings, "explains Dagmar l'Allemand, a specialist in obesity at the Children's Hospital St. Gallen.

Tips and tricks about sweets


Sugar-containing drinks as a thirst quencher should be avoided (makes you thirsty only bigger).
After a well-balanced meal, the body needs only a small amount of sugar to feel satisfaction in addition to the feeling of satiety.
Sweets within reach of the child are of course eaten. It is recommended to store the treats where the child can not reach them.


Gummibärchen instead of chocolate: Although these also contain sugar, but at least no fat. There is also a large selection of vegan gummy bears without gelatine.
Chocolate is healthy: it only takes a few decorative strips of melted chocolate on freshly cut fruit to make it a sensation for little connoisseurs.

The Super Villain Sugar and his powers

It used to mean simply that he was bad for the teeth. Today it is attributed to destructive powers like a super villain. Why sugar is overly harmful.



If you love sweets, you have to be strong now. And that's many. Almost all of us grow up with food that contains sugar, lots of sugar. Sugar gives us energy, measured in calories, and that's what kids and teens need a lot. Too much is too much, so sugar is now seen as a "danger", a "drug" or even a "poison". Sugar has become a political issue. In two years, Britain will introduce a penalty tax on sweetened sodas, just as Mexico did two years ago. But why is the sugar evil, if it is not chemistry, none of these artificial additives, but a natural product?

Take a half-liter bottle of sweetened lemonade or cola. It provides plenty of energy, a bottle contains at least 13 teaspoons of sugar. Sugars are long chains of molecules, carbohydrates, in which the energy is virtually stored. If they are split into individual parts, the energy is released and can be used by the body.

If we eat properly, if we follow the World Health Authority, then daily energy needs should be met in the long run with a maximum of six teaspoons of sugar. On average, we swallow three times. Why this becomes dangerous in the long run, is easy, and there are natural substances are not different from chemicals: the dose makes the poison. Whether the substance tastes good or not.


Sugar tastes excellent to humans, with this preference we come into the world. Sugar also gives many foods the color and a delicious look. With highly concentrated sugar we can even preserve fruits, for example in jams. Above all, faster than with sugar, we can hardly provide us with energy. Although we can cover our energy needs completely without sugar, but he is the perfect fuel.


Our digestion and metabolism convert sugar into pure energy in minutes, and our brains and the muscles that consume most of that energy are grateful: sugar is considered a reward in the brain without our being able to prevent it. Sugar, so seen, can also be a cure. The "Reward Center" pours out happy hormones when we feed it with sugar. Similar to a football game won or when we are in love - or when we take drugs.


Sugar even provides the scaffolding to make it the happiness hormone serotonin. But that's why the sugar is treacherous. Once fixed, we want to be rewarded more and more. A bittersweet pull that the industry uses for their marketing. At some point, virtually all foods were sweetened. Taking the statistics, a five-year-old in wealthy countries today consumes as much sugar in a year as he weighs.

In such quantities, in an overdose, sugar ruins the health and the figure over time. In any case, if we do not reduce excess energy by moving a lot and breaking calories, doing sports. The growing obesity that has led Mexico and the United Kingdom to levy taxes on sugar sodas so that less is bought and swallowed is not the worst of it. Too much sugar can - always in excess.

- destroy the organs like too much alcohol: we build up fat pads and can fatten the liver with sugar until it gets fat and sick. In the brain, the nerve cells are damaged because the power plants, which convert the sugar components into energy, can shrink.
