00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff mom never told you?

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: From how stuff Works dot Com. Hello, and welcome to

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Caroline and I'm Kristin Kristen. I've been

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: wondering would a tax on soda affect how you bought it,

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: imbibed it, enjoyed it, et cetera. I'm going to say

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: no because a little insider secret for our listeners. The

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: office here at How Stuff Works contains many amenities such

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: as well, really just the main one, which is free

10
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: soda we have. I feel like I've mentioned the soda

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: fridge before. Um, the famous famous soda fridge, the famous

12
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: How stuff Works soda fridge that does contain in tab

13
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: and diet root beer and not only Vault but also

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Diet Vault Vault Vault. I think I've heard of all

15
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: in a long time. Or no, wait, I'm thinking of

16
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the other one that's green Serge, I

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: mean Surge, which is what I drank at the child

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: all the time, and it probably stunted my growth. That's

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: why I'm five for two. I really wish that we

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: that we stocked serge. We had some secret stock of serge.

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: But this is really the only place that I drink soda.

22
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: I avoid drinking it if I can. I'm more of

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: a coffee gal um and, but every now and then

24
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: I will spring for a diet coke. Yeah, I'm also

25
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: a coffee person. I actually quit drinking soft drinks minus

26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: ginger ale when I'm sick when I was a freshman

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: in college because I read that soda contributed to breakouts,

28
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: not the greasy pizza or all the beer you're drinking

29
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: all the time now or anything like that. I just

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: quit soft drinks like this is going to help me

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: not gain the freshman fishing and didn't break out. Um And, Yeah,

32
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: it turns out soda. Soda does have some some interesting

33
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: and and terrible side effects on our health. We've learned

34
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: a lot about soda. And I'll just go ahead and

35
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: warn folks right up front it's mostly bad news. Yeah,

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean everything in moderation, right, Like you wouldn't want

37
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: to eat a whole chocolate cake. I mean I would,

38
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: but you wouldn't do it because it's bad for you, right,

39
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: not every day? So maybe if you it's I think

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: it's okay, basically, and I am getting little ahead of myself,

41
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: but I mean, I think it's okay to to build

42
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: in maybe one soft drink a day, especially if you're

43
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: a multiple soft drink a day person and you're trying

44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: to wean yourself down. You might give yourself some headaches.

45
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: But you know. But so anyway back to the text,

46
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: you say that it would not affect your consumption, and

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: that's because we have this magical fridge. Not everyone has

48
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: a magic fridge, Kristens. I know, I count my blessings.

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: But a new study out in January of this year

50
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: in Health Affair says that attacks on sugar sweetened beverages

51
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: and they include not only soft drinks, but you know,

52
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: things like sports drinks and juice. Uh. They think that

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: a tax would reduce consumption by fifteen percent among adults

54
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: ages sixty four, which I think is a pretty huge

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: chunk um. And this news about this tax on over

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: discovery news was what inspired this podcast because of statistics

57
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: like this in the article that jumped out at me.

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: This is using the Coronary Heart Disease Policy Model, which

59
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: is a computer simulated model developed to project future mortality

60
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: morbidity in the cost of coronary heart disease, and with

61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: this tax, using the model, they calculated that over a

62
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: period from the tax could prevent two point four million

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: diabetes cases, Yeah, diabetes person years, which I didn't know

64
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: what that meant, so I looked it up. Does it

65
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: mean fair listeners? It means the sum of the number

66
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: of years that each member of a steady population has

67
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: been under evaluation. And not only that, it includes nine

68
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: thousand coronary heart events, eight thousand strokes, and twenty six

69
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: thousand premature death for a sum total of seventeen billion.

70
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: That's with a B in medical costs savings, right, And

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: that's that's not small potatoes. And they're saying that all

72
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: of this stuff, all of these these heart conditions, strokes,

73
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: premature deaths, all of this could be avoided by just

74
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: taxing soda and getting fewer people to drink it or

75
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: people to drink less of it, which you know, I thought,

76
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: well that maybe that's kind of kind of stretching it.

77
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: The soda really have that big of an effect on

78
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 1: people's lives and health, And it turns out, yeah, depending

79
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: on how much you drink it really can. Yeah. And

80
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: also what I didn't realize is that. According to a

81
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: two thousand nine policy brief from the Yale University Rudd

82
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: Center for Food Policy and Obesity, thirty three states already

83
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: have special sales taxes on soft drinks, but chances are

84
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: there so small that people don't really notice them. Yeah,

85
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: and this policy brief said that a ten percent tax

86
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: could result in about an eight percent reduction in consumption,

87
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: with higher effects seen among quote unquote heavy users. Um,

88
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: and they kind of they argue that it's along the

89
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: lines of taxes on cigarettes and alcohol. But whoa, whoa,

90
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: whoa whoa soda pop, cigarettes and alcohol. I mean, are

91
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: we talking apples and oranges for government off of my pantry? Yeah?

92
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: I know, it's actually it's it's it's comparable. Um. The

93
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: government is already pretty involved in what we eat, as

94
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: the Red Centers policy brief points out from farm subsidies

95
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: to study nutritional standards for school meals. If I mean,

96
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: if you think about it, the government has a lot

97
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: to do with what we eat all the time. Just

98
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: flip over or whatever. I don't know the closest box

99
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: of food, do you and see what number one ingredients?

100
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: It's probably high fructose corn syrup, right, or just corn

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: thanks to so much corn food subsidies. Right. And as

102
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: far as um, the health issues and comparing soda to

103
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: cigarettes or alcohol, you know, there's no there's no secondhand

104
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: soda intake. You know, if you're drinking your diet coke

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: next to me, I'm not like, could you keep it

106
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: down over there with your diet soda even though it

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: sometimes gives me the burbs, hopefully you would do the

108
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: sideblow to get that away from me. Um. But Yale

109
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: researchers actually did a meta analysis of eighty eight studies

110
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: and found that soda intake is associated with a lower

111
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: intake of milk, calcium, and other nutrients, with an increased

112
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: risk of medical problems such as diabetes. They're not saying

113
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: necessarily that the more so do you drink, the less

114
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: calcium you will have in your body, necessarily, but it

115
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: is displacing other healthier beverages like milk and fortified orange juice,

116
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: and instead we're getting a lot of sugar. And I

117
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: know that this isn't breaking news to anyone out there,

118
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: but just to give it get an idea of how

119
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: much sugar we're get. Additional sugar we are ingesting thanks

120
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: to soda. And this is I think this includes diet

121
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: and regular. The average team boy gets about fifteen teaspoons

122
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: of refined sugar from soda every day. The average team

123
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: girl gets a little bit less. Girls send to drink

124
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: a little less sort of than guys do. And uh,

125
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: teen girls get about ten teaspoons of sugar from soda

126
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: every day. That makes it a huge chunk of not

127
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: only the sugar obviously that the kids are getting, but

128
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: the calories. Well, it's I think it's really kind of

129
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: gross actually that a majority of these sugary calories that

130
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 1: kids are ingesting come from soda and not the rest

131
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: of the food they eat as it should be. Yeah, Soda,

132
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: energy drinks, and sports drinks make up thirty six of

133
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: all of the added sugar in our diet. So this

134
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: is from the National Health and Nutrition Examinations surveys. Yeah,

135
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: and all other foods that's in quotes. All other foods

136
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: comes in second. It's all the sugary drinks at fift

137
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: and fruit drinks follows. And I'm thinking that they differentiate

138
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: between sugary drinks and fruit drinks because perhaps fruit drinks

139
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: are actual like fruit juice, not those fruit cocktails you see.

140
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, so speaking of young people, and you know,

141
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned how soda can kind of displace other healthier

142
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: options in kids diets U s D. A study found

143
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: that drinking more soda was correlated with children of all

144
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: ages consuming two little vitamin A, children younger than twelve

145
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: consuming two little calcium, and children six and older consuming

146
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: too little magnesium. So not only are they getting too

147
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: few of the vitamins and minerals they need, but they're

148
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: getting extra stuff like sugar and calories, and that can

149
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: lead to some pretty bad things. And we're starting them

150
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: so young, right, uh, and not surprisingly over the long

151
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: term that this soda intake does not have great impacts

152
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: on our health. Yeah, the empty calories are linked to

153
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: weight gain, which is a risk factor for type two diabetes,

154
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: which has been known typically as adult onset diabetes as

155
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: opposed to type one, but it's now just becoming known

156
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: as just plain old type two diabetes because they're finding

157
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: it more and more in teens. Because the more fat

158
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: and sugar that young people consume puts them at greater

159
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: risk for this disease. So the answer then is to

160
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: switch to diet, right, because that's you know, there're no

161
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: calories and that no, that's not the answer. No. June

162
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: study from the University of Texas helps Science Center, San

163
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Antonio showed that drinking diet soda is actually associated with

164
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: a wider wasteline. There are a couple of reasons, I

165
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: mean it is there are some reasons that actually involved

166
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: the soda itself. But some researchers have opined that perhaps

167
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: some people who have kind of poor diets maybe eat

168
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: a lot of fast food and wash it down with

169
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: a diet soda, feel like they're making up for the

170
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: bad stuff in their diet. Think it's called calorie bound balancing, right,

171
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: even though I mean depending on what if you go

172
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: and order, you know, a meal at McDonald's and then

173
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: you get a diet coke, you're not balancing out that

174
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: many calories now. And uh, I thought a really interesting

175
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: way to think about diet soda and how it's not

176
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: necessarily helping you is your brain really responds to sugary things,

177
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: real sugar as a reward, and the reward part of

178
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: your brain lights up when you get sugar, and it's like,

179
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: oh it's it's sugar time, it's dessert time. But when

180
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: you get artificial sweeteners like aspartame, for instance, your mouth

181
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: can't tell a difference because it still tastes very sweet,

182
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: but your brain can, and scientists have shown that the

183
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: reward center of your brain doesn't light up the same

184
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: as if you get real sugar, and so your brain

185
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: is sort of driving you to get more of that

186
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: to fulfill that sweet desire. So even though it might

187
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: be satisfactory on your tongue, is it's going down that

188
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: you're getting a little sweet sensation, your brain is saying, no,

189
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: I need, I need, I need more of you start

190
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: going cuckoo for coca puffs exactly, and possibly as a

191
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: result of diet SODA's tripping up your brain like that.

192
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Research your Helen Hazuda has pointed out the diet soda

193
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: might be free of calories, but not of consequences, and

194
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: she points to a study which found that diet soda

195
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: drinkers had waste circumference increases seventy greater than those of

196
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: non diet soda drinkers. Uh and I believe this is

197
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: among sample population of four d and seventy four elderly

198
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: people who are followed up over an average of nine

199
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: point four years, and those who drink at least two

200
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: diet sodas a day had a waste circumference increases five

201
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: hundred percent greater the people who didn't drink any diet soda.

202
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm never drinking anything but water again, well, water and

203
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: beer and coffee. Okay, yeah, I just anyway. A second

204
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: study in mice found that the artificial sweetener aspartame raises

205
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: blood sugar UH and mice prone to diabetes. So one

206
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: group of mice ate food with aspartame and corn oil,

207
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: while the other group's food just had the corn oil

208
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: in it, and after three months, the aspartame mice showed

209
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: elevated fasting glucose levels but equal or diminished insulin levels,

210
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: consistent with early declines in pancreatic beta cell function. And

211
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: beta cells make insulin, the hormone that lowers blood sugar

212
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: after a meal, and an imbalance leads to diabetes. So

213
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: people are getting fatter and sicker. Drinking diet soda is

214
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: what it sounds like over and this is over the

215
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: long term. I mean not to be completely scared tactical

216
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: about next week. You're not gonna blow over anything, hopefully,

217
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else you have going

218
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: on in your life. But the bottom line is people

219
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: who study food policy in the US are very concerned

220
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: about soda consumption. And it's understandable that we are because

221
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: in order to burn off and moving out of the

222
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: diet realm for a moment, in order to burn off

223
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: the two fifty calories in your standard and this is

224
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: now standard uh twenty ounce bottle of non diet soda.

225
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Usually the standard way back in the day was six

226
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: point uh five ounces, the tiny little Coca Cola bottle. Yeah,

227
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: we just can't control ourselves anymore. That's why we have

228
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: to have hundred calorie snack backs. And as a result,

229
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: for that twenty ounces pound person would have to walk

230
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: three miles and minutes. That's that's pretty much how fast

231
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: I run. They would need to play basketball for forty

232
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: minutes vigorously, or bike vigorously for twenty two minutes. And

233
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: this is from the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

234
00:13:54,520 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: So and again we know that soda, especially regular soda,

235
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: not so great for us. We have their additional calories,

236
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: but it does add up, and it seems to be

237
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: more dangerous not only for our waistlines, but also for

238
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: women in particular and our bones. Osteoporosis has been linked

239
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: to soda intake, but that might have to do more

240
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: with choices. If you are drinking a coke, you might

241
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: not be drinking that glass of milk exactly. Web In

242
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: D quotes osteoporosis expert Robert heeney Uh. He says, when

243
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: you look at the ingredients of soda and give those

244
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: to healthy people and measure what it does to their

245
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: calcium composition, nothing happens at all. So there is an

246
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: issue of picking the right drinks. If you're going to

247
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: be you know, second down liquid all day, make sure

248
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: it's it's the right stuff. But Tough University researchers found

249
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: that women who drank three or more cola based sodas,

250
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: not like clear stuff, but cola based sodas a day

251
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: had almost four percent lower bone mineral density in the hip,

252
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: even though researchers controlled for calcium and vitamin D intake.

253
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: And that might have to do with high levels of

254
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: phosphoric acid in those cola based sodas that start eating

255
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: away at your bones. That's that's an exaggeration. Cola so violent. Uh.

256
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: And then there's caffeine, which can interfere with calcium absorption,

257
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: not to mention it's addictive, and I'm just gonna ignore

258
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: that because I like coffee, So coffee is not bad. Right. Yeah,

259
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: we're not talking about just soda, but webin D recommends,

260
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: whether you're a man or a woman, cutting out a

261
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: can of two or cola from your diet and replacing

262
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: them with milk or fortified beverages. Try taking a calcium

263
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: and vitamin D supplement and get enough weight bearing resistance exercise.

264
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: But one good rule of thumb from the Harvard School

265
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: of Public Health is that at least half your daily

266
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: fluid should come from water. Yes, absolutely, stay hydrated. It

267
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: does wonderful things for you. Yeah, it doesn't all have

268
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: to be water, but to love water. Yeah, if I

269
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: had just been told that as a freshman in college,

270
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: it's the perfect beverage. Is so, even though we know

271
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: that soft drinks are not the best things for us,

272
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: consumption has escalated so much in recent decades. Yeah, it's

273
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: actually risen pretty dramatically since the nineteen forties, especially back

274
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: when they had those six and a half ounce, tiny, petite,

275
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: adorable Coca Cola bottles. And it's more than doubled since

276
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. Soft drinks now account for more than

277
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: one out of every four beverages consumed in the US.

278
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: And that's from Michael Jacobson, who's the director of the

279
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: Center for Science in the Public Interest, And he also

280
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: points out that carbonated soft drinks are the single biggest

281
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: source of calories in the American diet. It's crazy. That's crazy.

282
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: People eat a sandwich, have that beer calories put it

283
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: in a blender. Yeah, I don't understand, especially after reading

284
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of this stuff. It's crazy to watch people

285
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: just drink coke all day, or I'm sorry, drink a

286
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: carbonated Cola cola beverage all day. But teenagers get even

287
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: more of their calories than just that seven percent average.

288
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: They get of their calories from carbonated and non carbonated

289
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: soft drinks. Their video gatings. Although sales have declined slightly

290
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years, it reached a high

291
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: of fifty six point one gallons per person and has

292
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: gone down to a high of fifty two point four.

293
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: So what is that four gallons a few less per

294
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: person in two thousand four. Yeah, and they said that,

295
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you can shock some of that decline up

296
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: to people being more aware of what they put in

297
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: their bodies. But and I think people are still pretty

298
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: addicted to their to their carbonated beverages, especially guys. Men

299
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: out there, young and old, you are guzzling soda. Pap.

300
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: A quarter of thirteen to eighteen year old males soda

301
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: drinkers drink two and a half or more cans per day,

302
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: and one out of twenty drinks five cans or more.

303
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: And across the board, CNN reports that three of and

304
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: this is diet soda drinkers in particular, drink at least

305
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: four per day. M hm, sneak some water in there,

306
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: Come on. I just think of every time I drink

307
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: a coffee or a or a cola, that I need

308
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: to drink a glass of water to make up for

309
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: the dehydration, kind of like when you drink beer. Exactly

310
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: that is exactly what I do. Um And I why

311
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: I wonder why girls drink less soda soft drinks? Do

312
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: you think it's just that people know that it's unhealthy

313
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: and maybe girls are more focused on like, oh, I

314
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: don't want to. I definitely think it's because we are

315
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: more aware of the potential for the weight gain, which

316
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: is why diet sodas are so often marketed towards women.

317
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: And here's a fun fact about diet soda. The first

318
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: diet soda manufactured in the US, it was not tab No,

319
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: it was diet right in nineteen um And my dad

320
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: drinks really, Uh, what does it taste like? I stay

321
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: away from it. Yeah, I don't. I don't drink anything

322
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: with the word diet on it. Well, your father is

323
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: an exception to the rule in the beverage industry, because

324
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: supposedly this was according to an unnamed coke executive talking

325
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, saying that diet is a

326
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: four letter word when it comes to men that they

327
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: are marketing towards, which is why we have something called

328
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: coke zero. Exactly, it's just diet coke. I mean maybe

329
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: it's not. Even the formula is not exactly the same.

330
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: It tastes a little different. Yeah, but it's like, you know,

331
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: it's in a black can with silver lettering, and it's

332
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: Coke zero, not diet coke. Because the word diet, all

333
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: these people are saying in the industry sets off alarm

334
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: bells and men's heads that it's a lady drink and

335
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: not something machu enough for them. Now I could find no,

336
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: no studies or data to back the up. I might

337
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: not have searched deep enough, but anecdotally, guys, I haven't

338
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: met a guy who's been like a shishy drink. I

339
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: have not either, and my father would definitely say that

340
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: that's not true. Um. And I'm sure some of you

341
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: have seen the ad campaign for Dr Pepper ten, which

342
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: made me like, set my dinner down. It's like been

343
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: eating in front of the television of the first time,

344
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: I thought, because I just wanted to say, really, really,

345
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: and and for those of you who aren't familiar, it's

346
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: this guy riding through the jungle shooting at people in

347
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: his a TV or his jeep or whatever it is,

348
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: and and he's holding a Dr Pepper tin and he's like,

349
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: this is not for women. You can keep your romance

350
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: novels or whatever. He says. Yeah, the ad campaign has

351
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: ruffled some feathers, probably intentionally so, because they are so

352
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: overtly anti woman. Um. And it's you know, it's not diet.

353
00:20:53,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: It's got ten galleries, don't ten manly manly calories. And

354
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: according to USA Today, these ads, these this onslaught of

355
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: of soda ads come at a time when overall sales

356
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: in the seventy four billion soft drink industry are slowing.

357
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Like we said, maybe more Americans are becoming more aware

358
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: of of healthy things to put in their bodies. More

359
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: people are picking options like juice and bottled water. And

360
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: volume of soft drink has fallen from slightly more than

361
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: ten billion cases in two thousand five to nine point

362
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: four billion cases in according to Beverage Digest data. But

363
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: let's face it, that's still a lot of soda. That's

364
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot of soda. Well, perhaps women will be leading

365
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: the pack in this drop in soda consumption. Maybe we'll

366
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: continue to drive that statistics slowly down. It's not to

367
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: say that that soda is this horrible poison like cigarettes

368
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: and alcohol. Um, but we nevertheless drink less and so

369
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: maybe we will influd and to other people to do that. Yeah. Um,

370
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, we gave the stats for for thirteen to

371
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: eighteen year old boys, uh, and a quarter of thirteen

372
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: to eighteen year old female soda drinkers drink two or

373
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: more cans per day, and one out of twenty drinks

374
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: three cans or more. So that's not quite as high

375
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: as the one out of twenty. Boys who drinks five

376
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: cans are more, and women in their twenties, it's it's

377
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: slightly higher. We drink to twelve ounce sodas per day

378
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: on average. I try to I try to limit it.

379
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: I I really stick to coffee and only when it

380
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: gets later in the afternoon. I don't want a huge

381
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: dose of caffeine from coffee. Whill I drink a cola? Yeah,

382
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: because keeping in mind, the American Heart Association recommends a

383
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: consumption goal of fewer than three twelve ounce cans of

384
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: carbonated cola per week. So we're still even ad news

385
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, I know, Yeah, even at

386
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: that average of two cans per day. And believe me,

387
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: if I don't have my cup of coffee in the morning,

388
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: I get the caffeine headache. Yeah, I can't. I just

389
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: can't function. If you want me to have my eyes open, yeah,

390
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: then it's just I have to have it. But but

391
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: cutting the soda, it's not just because of the caffeine,

392
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: but it's also everything that's going with it. Phosphoric acid. Yeah,

393
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: the special formula I don't even want to know ask

394
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: pertain tricking my brain into telling me that I'm satisfied

395
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: when I'm really not, and then you just keep going.

396
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: You're insatiable. It's insatiable. Uh So, something to keep an

397
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: eye out for in the news will be that soda tax. Yeah,

398
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see if maybe it comes up

399
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: in presidential debates. Yeah. The uh this the study and

400
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: health affairs, they were really urging the the revenue from

401
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: the tax to go towards health education in schools, not

402
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: just letting the revenue kind of drift off wherever into

403
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: the state and local governments, but really let people know

404
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: we're taxing this. You might not like it, but at

405
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: least our kids are getting educated about how to be

406
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: healthy exactly. I mean the the to me, the statistics

407
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: of how how many soft drinks kids are consuming, kids

408
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: and teens is the most startling because that's when you

409
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: know that's going to carry into adulthood and we need

410
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: to stop it early. So yeah, I drink milk every

411
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: night with dinner. What what I did that too, was

412
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: again though not not that whole stuff. I'll mess with

413
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: the stuff that tastes like it just came from the cow,

414
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: straight from the cow. So if you have any thoughts

415
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: to send our way about soft drinks, and if you

416
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: have any insight into the soda pop tax, send us

417
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: an email. Yeah, and who's addicted out there? Because I

418
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: know plenty of people who cannot go through the day

419
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: without like three or more. And we won't judge you. Promise, promise.

420
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: We'll just try to gently encourage you to switch to

421
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: orange juice or something because I still drink. I mean,

422
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I'll have a couple of dcs a week.

423
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: You're You're right there, You're right there at that level.

424
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: That's that's approved. Uh So again, our email is mom

425
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: Stuff at how stuff works dot com. And we've got

426
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: an email here from Wedge and response to our episode

427
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: on pregnancy weight gain. She says, one thing that you

428
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: did not mention your podcast is that there is a

429
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: big difference between getting back to pre pregnancy weight and

430
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: getting back to your pre pregnancy body. Huge difference. It

431
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: took me probably less than a year before I was

432
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: back to my old weight, but at least eighteen months

433
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: or my body to feel like my old self. And

434
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: by that I mean my hips and waist and abs.

435
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: I'm being generous about my abs I have a pooch,

436
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: and I don't have the time and energy to do

437
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: the sit ups to get rid of it. Ah Well,

438
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: and frankly, three years later, I still don't have my

439
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: pre pregnancy body back, and I never will unless I

440
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: get a boob job. However, I know I'm one of

441
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: the lucky ones I fit into my old clothes, so

442
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: add some push up bras and that's kid enough for me.

443
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,359
