Objectives: The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have recently updated nutritional guidelines for a reduced sugar intake. With the increased popularity of online health-food bloggers and 'refined-sugar free' recipes, this review looked to analyse recipes from popular online bloggers to validate the veracity of their 'sugar-free' and 'healthy' claims and assess their adherence to recently implemented nutritional guidelines. Method: Four bloggers were randomly selected from the Amazon top 10 booklist and their online blogs were consulted for a selection of recipes which were then nutritionally analysed with relation to their sugar and fat content. Results: 80% of the recipes analysed contained more fat than a Mars Ò bar and 70% contained more fat than a popular online cake recipe, whilst 25% of the recipes contained over half of the recommended daily sugar intake as advised by the SACN and the WHO. None of the bloggers analysed used evidence-based approaches for the advice on their blogs. Conclusion: Bloggers offer an invaluable platform to disseminate dietary advice to the public, however the recipes in this analysis were not healthy alternatives. The challenge is for government and health organisations to utilise this platform to promote alternative healthy eating options that align to current national and international guidance.

Aim Bilateral dentigerous cysts of the mandible are extremely rare in non‐syndromic patients with <30 cases reported in the literature with only one involving successful orthodontic alignment of the affected teeth. This case aims to highlight a rare bilateral presentation of dentigerous cysts in a non‐syndromic child in addition to encouraging clinicians to consider multi‐disciplinary care for the management of cysts not only for successful resolution of the cystic spaces but also for subsequent successful orthodontic alignment of severely displaced teeth. Material and Methods A 12‐year old boy was referred to the paediatric dental department at the Edinburgh Dental Institute regarding partially erupted mandibular first permanent molars with suppuration and periodontal pocketing of 12mm. Radiographic examination revealed bilateral unilocular radiolucencies of the mandible associated with the partially erupted first and unerupted second permanent molars. The treatment to date includes oral hygiene advice, bilateral incisional biopsies and marsupialisation of the lesions under general anaesthetic, expose and bond procedures of the impacted mandibular second permanent molars and maxillary and mandibular fixed appliances. Results Both the first and second lower permanent molars have been successfully aligned within the arch. Histological analysis has confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral dentigerous cysts of the mandible although provisional diagnosis included bilateral keratocysts. This patient has had both clinical and radiographic follow‐up in the paediatric dental, oral surgery and orthodontic departments over a 4‐year period. Conclusion This is a highly unusual presentation of bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts in a non‐syndromic child. Successful multi‐disciplinary care between the paediatric, oral surgery and orthodontic departments yielded an extremely favourable outcome for this challenging case. Paediatric dentists should be aware of this unusual presentation, the subsequent appropriate referral pathway and the promising feasibility of successful orthodontic alignment of the affected teeth.
