  • Every Christmas our helpline bells ring to the sound of some frequently asked questions.

  • We live in a world where making healthy decisions for our children is really challenging. Changing our family’s diet and lifestyle is a process, not a one-off event. These tips will help you make that start and put you and your children on the road to a healthier future.  

  • Our research shows that one 500ml energy drink can contain up to 14 level teaspoons of sugar or the equivalent of 3 cups of espresso. Use our checker to find out the sugar and caffeine content in popular energy drinks. 

  • While plain water and milk are the most suitable drinks for children, if choosing other drinks, ideally choose no added or low-sugar options.

  • If your children eat cereal for breakfast, try to give them one that is low in sugar. Use our cereal comparison below to check the sugar content of popular cereals.

  • We've all been there – that sudden, intense craving for a specific food, whether it's sweet or savoury. Food cravings are a common experience, and there can be many reasons behind them.

  • Section 22 of the Protected Disclosure Act 2014 requires the publication of a report each year relating to the number of protected disclosures made in the preceding year and for the publication of information with regard to any actions taken in response to protected disclosures made.

    Ceanglaítear le halt 22 den Acht um Nochtadh Cosanta, 2014, go bhfoilseofaí tuarascáil gach bliain maidir leis an líon nochtaí cosanta a rinneadh sa bhliain roimhe agus go bhfoilseofaí freisin faisnéis maidir le haon ghníomhartha a rinneadh i leith na nochtaí cosanta a rinneadh.

  • You may have seen or heard news items about Aspartame, an artificial sweetener, and wondered if it's something you need to be worried about. Our toxicology and nutrition experts answer the most commonly asked questions about Aspartame. 

  • Real people, real lives – we put people at the heart of our communications.
