Sugars
Sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beet, or is made
by bees as honey.
Glucose is the simplest sugar, white table sugar is
sucrose, and fruits contain fructose. Honey contains
mainly glucose and fructose.

Fish
There are two main groups of fish, sea fish and
fresh water fish.
Most of the fish we eat comes from the sea. Examples
are cod, plaice, haddock, snapper and tuna, but there are
over thirty varieties that are regularly eaten in the UK.
Some fish, such as cod, are becoming rarer, as too many
are caught for food. We need to conserve our fish stocks
to allow the fish time to breed.
Fresh water fish come from rivers or lakes. Salmon and
trout are the most common.
Salmon and trout are often reared in fish farms. This has
made more fish available and reduced the price.
Some people believe farmed fish do not taste as good as
wild ones.

Oily fish
Some fish store oil in their liver. These are called white
fish, and cod is one example.
In other fish, the oil is spread through their body, and
these are called oily fish. Salmon, sardines and tuna are
examples.
Scientists believe that eating oily fish can help to reduce
the risk of heart disease, and they recommend at least
one portion per week.

Shellfish
Shellfish have lots of vitamins and minerals and are low in
fat. Examples are:
prawns and shrimps
cockles, mussels, scallops,
oysters, whelks and other things
that live in shells.
Crab and lobster are often
thought of as shellfish, although
strictly speaking they are
crustaceans.

Organic or non-organic
Organic foods are produced by using natural methods
only, which many people prefer.
Organic vegetables are produced
without chemical fertilisers or
pesticides.
Organic livestock is reared free range,
allowing animals to move around, sleep
comfortably and only eat organic foods.
The use of antibiotics in organically
farmed animals is kept to a minimum.
Intensive farming uses chemicals and
other techniques to produce high yields.
