Currently there has been a large consumption of foods with excess sugar by teenagers, mainly dueto its availability in the market and the economic and cultural interests of the environment inwhich they live in. It becomes necessary, therefore, to intervene in food education, throughfamily, school or training groups, because this demographic group is an easy target for the mediaand strong economic interests, to whom the health of consumers is of the least importance. Themain objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of extra-class activities (lecturedialogue),with health professionals in teaching teenagers about nutrition. We obtainedinformation on the knowledge and eating habits of students from eighth grade (9th grade) and thefirst grade of high school (secondary schools), from both the public and private school system inSanta Maria, RS. The subject was approached through investigative questionnaires before andafter the awareness actions, called pre-test and post-test respectively. After the lecturesdialogues,awareness levels increased among the studied group and there was a clear indication ofthe intention of reducing the consumption of sugar and sugary products. The school as a learningvehicle appears to be an appropriate place to discuss nutrition and health education issuesbyproviding a sustainable education of strong base and multipliercharacter.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
