Editor's note

Fruit is good for us, and so many assume fruit juice is good for us too. And because it’s sweet and comes in convenient, child-friendly packaging, it’s usually something we can get our kids to drink. But does the sugar content mean kids shouldn’t be drinking the stuff? We asked five experts in nutrition, dietetics, medicine and dental health, and collated their responses in this quick-to-read graphic. Find out why four out of five said no (and why one was a bit more pragmatic).

A new documentary has raised fears over the treatment of Australia’s iconic kangaroos. But as Karl Vernes writes, it’s not the big, famous species we should be worried about - it’s the dozens of small marsupials such as bettongs and potoroos that are really under threat.
