So, do any of us know what those regulated terms mean, or can we stl be fooled? Wee putting it to the test with same fish We've got two types of salmon here. Some say. they'e high in’ omega 3. And some say they're ‘source of omega 3, "High in anesource of are both regulated terms that sound siilar but mean very different things ‘The'source of omega 3 or‘high in’omega 3? They'e all the same. Erm ... hadnt realy thought about it to be honest. It’sall the same, allthe same. Yeah, Salman's salmon. Clearly lots of us ust don't know the difference. But actualy one of these choices is far healthier. ‘High in omega 3 has at least ewice as much omega 3 a5 a'saurce of omega 3 salmon.

No, Have you ever thought about it before? No, Would it make a diference to you? No ‘cause | dont like salmon! Ifyou want to be sure of what youte getting, here's some other regulated terms that you can trust. Low fat foods must have less than three percent fat, Low sugar must be less than five percent sugar.

Ina moment were going to do an experiment within this blue circle that we've got marked out on the floor. Doctor Ed Codling is from the University of Essex. He's a mathematical biologist who studies human behaviour To discover how we react as part of a crowd, Ed's experiment will simulate a dangerous situation ~ a fire alarm, Hes watching for people who might not make thelr own decision but panic and follow someone else, assuming they know the way to the right exit, What if the person youre following ge doesn't know the way either? | mean, Ive done it before, you ust end up following someone who looks most confident in the room.
