1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Do you love a sweet, bubbly drink on a warm

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: summer's day. Perhaps you're one of those ones that's addicted

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: to diet coke, but you're looking for a better alternative. Well,

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: on today's episode, we have you covered as we look

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: at a growing range of healthier carbonated drinks to the supermarket. Hi,

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm Leon Warden and I'm Czy Burrow, and as two

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: of the strays leading dietitians, we bring you the Nutrition

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Count Product Review, a weekly chat on new products and

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: old favorites that you can find right here in our supermarkets. So, Susie,

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm very curious there's a bubbly, sweet drink something that

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: is found in your household.

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: Well, we am. We have to be honest, don't we

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: as dietitians, we don't love soft drink. Now, I will

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: be completely honest with the listeners here to say that

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: I do like a cheeky diet coke, but I do

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: try and limit consumption because I'm aware of the research

17
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: that diet soft drinks in general and it's artificially sweetened.

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 2: But we want to be honest here with our listeners,

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: So I do, but I do try and limit it.

20
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: You know, a couple of times a week at most.

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: I certainly don't encourage them at home for the children,

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: but we do at my house drinks soda, water, barkling water.

23
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: My husband does prefer the ones that have got like

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: a flavor through them, but that's more something he'll buy

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: it like the server. I don't buy them through the

26
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: week at all, but I do have clients who do

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: need or prefer some flavor with their fluid. So I

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: think this is a great discussion because I love the

29
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: products that you've chosen, because they really showcase a few

30
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: key points that we would want our listeners to take

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: home when it comes to sugar sweetened drinks or sorry,

32
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 2: drinks that are low calorie and sweetened with alternatives to sugar,

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: But are they really healthy? Because I see these at

34
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: the kids' parties all the timely end, and I have

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: to be honest, I'm pretty distressed at times to see that.

36
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: You know, in our friendship circle, even with kids, they're

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: often still consuming soft drinks at parties. So hopefully our

38
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: listeners will find this really helpful for their own families and.

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: Definitely in our household. He's not a big water drinker.

40
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: I've tried every strategy under the sun, Susie, but the

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: bulk of his dart is very healthy, thanks for his

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: lovely dietitian wife. So he does like a little bit

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: of sort of a diet soft drink or something a

44
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: bit sweeter as well. We're not big alcohol drinkers, and

45
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, we have pretty clean and lean made meals,

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: So he does regularly have like a lower sugar alternative,

47
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: and one or two that I put in here today

48
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: are the ones that I sort of encourage him to

49
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: get as well. So we do have a little bit

50
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: of sort of what i'd call that sweetened bubbly drinks,

51
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, mineral water, soda water there,

52
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: or a completely different thing. What I really look for

53
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: today is some of the better alternatives to regular soft drink.

54
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: I haven't done the mineral waters or the sparkling waters today.

55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: So the first one that I thought was just important

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: to put in is just the standard, you know, zero

57
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: sugar soft drink, because I think most of us know

58
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: there's barely any catalories in there from a diabetic perspective,

59
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, low sugar perspective, where of course most of

60
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: us are better to go for a low sugar variety,

61
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: particularly if you're diabetic. So the one that I added

62
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: today was the Swepts Raspberry zero sugar. So it's one

63
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: point one liters and it's two dollars fifty at wol worst,

64
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: So it's nothing, you know, outrageous in terms of price

65
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. When you look at like

66
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: one of those body bottles of cokes, if you're buying

67
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: that at the movies or something like that, year easily up,

68
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: it's of four or five dollars. So this is over

69
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: a litter and it's a raspberry flovor, which I chose

70
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: on purpose. And if you look at the ingredient SUSI,

71
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: it's mostly AUSSI made like ninety nine percent of serrain ingredients.

72
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: We've got carbonated water as our first ingredient flavors, followed

73
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: by food acids, sweetners nine fifteen nine five two nine

74
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: five five which are artificial sweetners. We've got preservatives in there,

75
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: and color one two three. Looking at the nutrition label,

76
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: I think today we'll do per hundred mills, even though

77
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: there's really not much of anything in these ones. So

78
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: basically energy, you've got five kilo jewels. You were like

79
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: one calorie there's no protein, there's no fat, there's no carves,

80
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: there's no sugar, there's obviously no fiber because there's nothing

81
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: in it, and there's just a small amount of sodium

82
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in there. So basically we're seeing nothing much on the

83
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: nutrition label, but we are getting a fair whack of

84
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: these artificial colors in there. So color one two three

85
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: in some other countries, such as America, has really been

86
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: banned or sort of taken out of a lot of products.

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: The UK's made a big shift. It hasn't necessarily banned it,

88
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: but it's made a big shift to just recommend that

89
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: parents don't don't really give this to kids too much

90
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: because there has been I would say a small amount

91
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: of research to say that some children and adults or

92
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: more sensitive these types of artificial colors can cause you know,

93
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: behavioral disturbances ADHD type symptoms. So it's interesting that we're

94
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: still in twenty twenty two adding artificial colors into different products,

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: particularly like soft tricks. So this for me, I don't

96
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: care that it has zero calories and zero sugar. I

97
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: would not be recommending it to my clients because of

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: the added colors.

99
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: I agree one hundred percent. So when you look at

100
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: the research around zero type soft drinks with artificial sweetener,

101
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: it's not great, you know, in terms of certainly if

102
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: we can find natural sweetness, and this hasn't got just

103
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: one artificial sweetener, it's got three different ones to give

104
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: that incredibly sweet flavor. Which is the last thing, because

105
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: let's be honesty, and this is a product really marketed

106
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: for kids and teenagers, like it's bright red, So certainly

107
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: that level of sweetness is not what I would want

108
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: to encourage in any young person across the board. And

109
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: I'm with you one hundred percent. And it's actually the

110
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: artificial sweetness combined with that preservative, which is to a

111
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: in which some of the neurological research has been done

112
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: and it's early stages, but they believe there's an interaction

113
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: between the artificial sweetener and the preservatives in diets OFFT drinks.

114
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: But that color is what we would call an artificial color.

115
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: I think they should be banned in the food supply

116
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: as soon as I see to have a heart attack.

117
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: So it's also you see it in the bright orange,

118
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: the blue. There's a blue fanter out at the moment.

119
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: Slurpies and notorious for that, and at a party I

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: was at recently, the kids are walking around with slurpies

121
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: and we had a heart attack. So anything that is

122
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: not the natural color of food, you know, this bright pink,

123
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: this bright blue, it's not good for us.

124
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: You know.

125
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: I don't think you need a degree in nutrition to

126
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: think that's probably not the best thing for growing small children,

127
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: let alone any of us. And I think they should

128
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: be banned these colors in general. So absolutely, it would

129
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: be an absolute no growth from me. And I am

130
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: quite strict with that with my kids. I've said before,

131
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: I'm not overly strict in my kids in terms of

132
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: dessert or treats, but I will not have any kind

133
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: of soft drink or color drink ever that I'm in

134
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: control of. And as you can imagine, if it slips

135
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: in through, grandparents have a heart attack. So certainly it's

136
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: a big It's a big from me on anything that's

137
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: bright pink and red. And for those reasons, the artificial color,

138
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: and also the mix of artificial sweeteners.

139
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: And then the next line of Chosen Susie is an

140
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: interesting one because David really likes this one and I

141
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: said to him, right, if you're gonna have this in

142
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: the house, and you know, me is going to grow

143
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: up knowing that had daddy likes this sort of stuff,

144
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: I want to have something that's a little bit better.

145
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: So we sort of settled on this one because it

146
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: does have a little bit of artificial sweetness in it,

147
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: but it's much more natural from a color perspective, and

148
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: it doesn't have that overly sweetener that artificial taste of

149
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: the sweetness as well. So it's the Waterford's mineral water

150
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: apple berry. But to me, even though it's a mineral water,

151
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: it tastes like a soft drink, and I'm not a

152
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: big soft drink drinker. So a very small glass of

153
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: this at dinner, watered down with just a little bit

154
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: of cold water and some ice, to me is like

155
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: a really really lovely treat Like it definitely doesn't have

156
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 1: that terrible artificial sort of sweetness taste afterwards, which is nice.

157
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: So it's a dollar nine if I have at wolworst

158
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: for a litter and if you look at the ingredients,

159
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: so I've gone the waterfalls the apple berry one. They

160
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: also do a lemon lime one, and I think there's

161
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: from a memory like a lone flavor as well or

162
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: maybe a mango or something. There's a couple of different

163
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: flavors in the range, so this one's an apple berry one.

164
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: Carbonated water is the first ingredient, followed by reconstituted juice,

165
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: so it's got apple four point nine percent and raspberry

166
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: point one percent, so it's actually flavored with a little

167
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: bit of reconstituted juice, which, yes, from a sugar perspective,

168
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: there's a little bit in there, but I don't think

169
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: it's the worst thing. When I run through the nutrition

170
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: label as well, there's also a little bit of food acid,

171
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: some natural flavor, some preservatives, some sweetness, same as the

172
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: one before, nine two five, nine five five and nine

173
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: point fifty, with a little bit of black carrot concentrate,

174
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: some natural color source from black carrot, so they're adding

175
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: the color in there in a more natural way. So

176
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: this is far better than the added color one two

177
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: three in the previous sweeps raspberry one that we've seen.

178
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: So going through the nutrition panel again, i'll do per

179
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: hundred miles, we have twelve killer Jules in terms of energy,

180
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: so what's that four calories, zero proteins, are a fat,

181
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: zero point five grams of carbs, zero point four grams

182
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: of that being sugar, So yes, there is a little

183
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: bit of no natural sugar from the reconstituted juice, but

184
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: it's zero point four grams per hundred mils. So if

185
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: you're just having a small cup of this or a

186
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: small amount of this, or you're watering it down with

187
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of water like I like to do,

188
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: it's only a very small amount of sugar compared to

189
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: something like a fool sugar soft drink, and obviously no

190
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: fiber with fourteen milligrams of sodium, which is barely anything.

191
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: So I like this one as a little bit of

192
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: an in between between then you know, really artificial type

193
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: soft drinks and then also the ones with the added colors.

194
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: So yes, it has some artificial sweetness in there. There's

195
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of natural sugars as well, and of

196
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: course it's free from the added colors as well, So

197
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't mind this as sort of like an in

198
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: between option. And definitely this is David's favorite one from

199
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: like a taste perspective. He often has this one. And

200
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: if we do have you know, friends over all that

201
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: sort of thing, I will pull out this. If I

202
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: have friends that are pregnant or not drinking all that

203
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: sort of thing. So I think it's a nice sort

204
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: of in between one, and I do sometimes recommend this

205
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: one for my clients as well. Despite there being a

206
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: little bit of added sugar in there, it's nothing like

207
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: the teaspoons and tea spoons that you would find in

208
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: normal soft drink.

209
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. This has been around for a

210
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: really long time as brand. I remember when I first

211
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: worked in the hospitals and this came out, this product,

212
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: and you're right, it does have quite a nice flavor,

213
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: and it's like anything in moderation. I wouldn't be against it.

214
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: It's not my go to pick, but I'm not the

215
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: consumer of this brand. I think a lot of that's

216
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: to do with taste, because I think if things taste good,

217
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: and obviously said David quite likes it, so it's got

218
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: a nice flavor. But if I was being nutrition purist,

219
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: I would say, where possible, seek out and naturally sweetened products.

220
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: So as soon as you see those nine fifties, I

221
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't be keen and I certainly wouldn't be keen for

222
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: children to be consuming those based on the evidence that

223
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: it primes us to want more sweet food long term

224
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: and as such, we also to wrap up our products.

225
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: Have found probably what we would call the standout. So

226
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: if we were rating then we would say, well, the

227
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: artificial color and sweetness sort of the ideal of the worst,

228
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: followed by then the artificial sweetener. But then you've been

229
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: great and found what we would probably call the gold

230
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: standard if it comes to a sweetened drink, which is

231
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: the next range, and they've got a growing range in supermarkets.

232
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: I've seen with a much well, I think it's a

233
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 2: much better nutritional panel. And you would have seen these

234
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: bottles because they're right through supermarket. It's the next bar

235
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: drinks range. They've got a really extensive range. I want

236
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: to say. They've got butcher they've got water, they do.

237
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got cans, they've got the soft drink bottles.

238
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: A lot of different products in supermarkets. So you've picked

239
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: the sugar free pineapple sparkling infusion. Has David had this one?

240
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: He has and he really likes. Really we often had

241
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: this and the pineapple flavor. I'm just going to put

242
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: it out there, guys, is delicious, it's nice, and.

243
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: It's actually and well, is it more expensive.

244
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: No, it's about the same, we're two dollars fifty. It's

245
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: on salent pause at the moment.

246
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: For one, we can't get them on sale, so that's

247
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: a bonus, so two fifty if it's not on sale.

248
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: Always like to buy things on sale. Perserve twenty killers

249
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: or so next to nothing. They're no protein, fat as

250
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: you'd expect, minimal carbohydrate in significant at allo point one,

251
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: and no sodium actually, which is interesting because I think

252
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: in the other examples they've had a little tiny bit,

253
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 2: which is interesting. This has got absolutely none. But if

254
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: we look at the ingredient, it's a much cleaner list.

255
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: So we've got purified sparkling water the next but natural

256
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: sweetener of blend which is erythrotol, and Stevia citric acid,

257
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: which is just to get the bubbliness right of the water.

258
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 2: Natural flavors, natural pineapple flavor, natural color, very important, and

259
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: it's said that the erythrotol is naturally produced by the

260
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: fermentation of starches in fruits and vegetables. So it's got

261
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: no preservatives, which is a major standout for me because

262
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: preservatives in small amount amounts aren't bad for us, but

263
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: sometimes as chemicals they do interact and as I said,

264
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: there is some research to show that sodium benzoate, which

265
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: is a common preservative in soft drink, can interact with

266
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: sweeteners and they believe has some neurological impact long term.

267
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: So as I said, it's in its early stages of research,

268
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: but that has been flagged in studies before. So to

269
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: have a product like this with no preservatives, let alone

270
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: sodium benzoate is really fantastic and made in Australia from

271
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of Australian ingredients. So if I was

272
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: recommending a product, I generally say I don't go for

273
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: WATERFS because it's got artificial sweetener. Certainly I'm I'm a

274
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: much bigger fan of this range of drinks, and you

275
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: can find them freely in supermarket, which is important because

276
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: you need to be able to pick them up as

277
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: part of the weekly shop and not have to go

278
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: to specialty stores to find these products. So that is

279
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: absolutely I think you would agree with me our standout.

280
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: If you like a sweet drink, really seek out, particularly

281
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: for children, the natural sweetness and no preservatives and natural colors.

282
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: Now we would always say water should be the drink

283
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: of choice. If you were giving this to children, I

284
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: would say, no more than one very small cup a day.

285
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: But it's like anything, it's personal choice how you run

286
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: your family and their intake, and this would be our pick,

287
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: particularly if you're having parties and you wanted to give

288
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: the kids something that was a bit sweet up. This

289
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: would absolutely be my pick, even over for juice. Yeah,

290
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: and personally, I mean, I can't talk to me.

291
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: He's not at the age where she would have this,

292
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: but I like to think that I wouldn't even be

293
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: giving this to me, even in a small copper day.

294
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: This would be more like a treat based thing, even

295
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: though it is a lot a lot healthier. There's no

296
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: sugars in it because just as you mentioned, it is

297
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: so overly sweet. If I did give her a little

298
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: bit at absolutely water, and I would still treat this

299
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: like a you know, sometimes treat based food or drink

300
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: versus something that's like regularly sort of available as well.

301
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: So as she grows up, I will be very careful

302
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: that David is limiting the amount of these sorts of

303
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: things that we do have in their household, because, as

304
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: you've said, it's very easy once they become teens and

305
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: they make their own money for them to then go

306
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: to you know, places like seven to eleven and get

307
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: a slurp. You'll go to McDonald's and get one of

308
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: the iced you know, rispberry drinks or something like that,

309
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: And I think as kids and teens, they have a

310
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: hard time knowing that this really sweet yellow drink is

311
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: any different to the sweet red drink that they'll get

312
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: at a birthday party as well. So I think limiting

313
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: this overall for our children is really important. But definitely

314
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: choosing the healthy arrange if it is a bit of

315
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: a celebration or a birthday party or a bit of

316
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: a treat for the week as well. So I definitely

317
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: this is one that I recommend for the majority of

318
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: my clients as well. It's a really great brand and

319
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: it's bussy. It's made from Australian ingredients as well, which
