The cost of health Women are more likely than men to Sugar hit Merely putting sugar into your mouth boosts muscle strength for three minutes, New Zealand research has shown.

So it's appropriate that students at Garden to Table Schools will soon be using a premium New Zealand olive oil to create nutritious vegetable dishes in their kitchen classrooms. The Garden to Table programme is a curriculum-integrated initiative that helps children understand what 'good' food is and where it comes from. The Village Press olive oil company has come on board as a sponsor for the Garden to Table Trust and will be supplying each school with 20 litres of olive oil every year. They will also plant olive trees in the school's gardens. Eventually it is hoped the schools might even press their own olives to make oil.
