The decision on whether to renew EU approval for the herbicide glyphosate is to go to an appeals panel on 23 June after a last ditch attempt to get a temporary re-authorisation failed on 6 June (for some background information, see this).

Kids Are Eating Far More Sugar at Breakfast Than Nutrition Labels Suggest

The serving size for cereal is 30 grams, but according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, children eat between 42 and 62 grams of cereal, on average, in a serving—putting their sugar intake at nearly twice the amount listed on the nutrition label. According to the EWG report, that amounts to five to nine additional pounds of sugar consumed annually.
