WEBVTT - TNC Review: Low/No Sugar Soft Drinks

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.679
<v Speaker 1>Do you love a sweet, bubbly drink on a warm

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>summer's day. Perhaps you're one of those ones that's addicted

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>to diet coke, but you're looking for a better alternative. Well,

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>on today's episode, we have you covered as we look

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>at a growing range of healthier carbonated drinks to the supermarket. Hi,

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Leon Ward and I'm Cuzy Burrow, and as two

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of the strays leading dietitians, we bring you the Nutrition

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Count Product Review, a weekly chat on new products and

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.159
<v Speaker 1>old favorites that you can find. I'm right here in

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>our supermarkets. So, Susie, I'm very curious there's a bubbly,

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>sweet drink something that is found in your household.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, Liam, we have to be honest, don't we as dietitians,

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 2>we don't love soft drink. Now, I will be completely

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>honest with the listenings here to say that I do

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 2>like a cheeky diet coke, but I do try and

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>limit consumption because I'm aware of the research that diet

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 2>soft drinks in general and it's artificially sweetened. But we

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>want to be honest here with our listeners, so I do,

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>but I do try and limit it. You know, a

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of times a week at most. I certainly don't

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.319
<v Speaker 2>encourage them at home for the children, but we do

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>at my house drinks soda, water, barkling water. My husband

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>does prefer the ones that have got like a flavor

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>through them, but that's more something he'll buy it like

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the server. I don't buy them through the week at all,

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>but I do have clients who do need or prefer

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>some flavor with their fluid. So I think this is

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 2>a great discussion because I love the products that you've

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>chosen because they really showcase a few key points that

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>we would want our listeners to take home when it

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>comes to sugar sweetened drinks. Sorry, drinks that are low

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 2>calorie and sweetened with alternatives to sugar, but are they

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>really healthy? Because I see these at the kids' parties

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>all the timely end, and I have to be honest,

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty distressed at times to see that. You know,

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>in our friendship circle, even with kids, they're often still

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>consuming soft drinks at parties. So hopefully our listeners will

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>find this really helpful for their own families and.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Definitely in our household. My happy love he's not a

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>big water drinker. I've tried every strategy under the sun, Susie,

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>but the bulk of his dart is very healthy, thanks

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>for his lovely dietitian wife. So he does like a

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit of sort of a diet soft drink or

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>something a bit sweeter as well. We're not big alcohol drinkers,

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we have pretty clean and lean made meals,

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>so he does regularly have like a lower sugar alternative,

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and one or two that I put in here today

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>are the ones that I sort of encourage him to

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>get as well. So we do have a little bit

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of sort of what i'd call that sweetened bubbly you drinks,

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, you know, mineral water, soda water there,

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>or a completely different thing. What I really look for

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>today is some of the better alternatives to regular soft drink.

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I haven't done the mineral waters or the sparkling waters today.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So the first one that I thought was just important

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to put in is just the standard you know, zero

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>sugar soft drink, because I think most of us know

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>there's barely any catalies in there from a diabetic perspective,

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, low sugar perspective, where of course most of

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>us are better to go for a low sugar variety,

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>particularly if you're diabetic. So the one that I added

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>today was the Swepts Raspberry zero sugar. So it's one

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>point one liters and it's two dollars fifty at wolworst,

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>so it's nothing, you know, outrageous in terms of price

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>all that sort of thing. When you look at like

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>one of those body bottles of cokes, if you're buying

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that at the movies or something like that, year easily up,

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>it's of four or five dollars. So this is over

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.239
<v Speaker 1>a litter and it's a raspberry flovor, which I chose

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>on purpose. And if you look at the ingredient SUSI,

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>it's mostly AUSI made like ninety nine percent of serrain ingredients.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>We've got carbonated water as our first ingredient flavors, followed

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>by food acids sweetness nine fifteen, nine five two and

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>nine five five which are artificial sweetness. We've got preservatives

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>in there, and color one two three. Looking at the

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>nutrition label, I think today we'll do per hundred mills,

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>even though there's really not much of anything in these ones.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>So basically energy, you've got five killer jewels. You were

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>like one calorie. There's no protein, there's no fat, there's

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>no carbs, there's no sugar, there's obviously no fiber because

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing in it, and there's just a small amount

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of sodium in there. So basically we're seeing nothing much

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>on the nutrition label, but we are getting a fair

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>whack of these artificial colors in there. So color one,

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>two three in some other countries, such as America, has

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>really been banned or sort of taken out of a

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of products. The UK has made a big shift.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It hasn't necessarily banned it, but it's made a big

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>shift to just recommend that parents don't really give this

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to kids too much because there has been i would

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>say a small amount of research to say than some

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>children and adults or more sensitive these types of artificial

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>colors can cause, you know, behavioral disturbances ADHD type symptoms.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's interesting that we're still in twenty twenty two

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>adding artificial colors into different products, particularly like soft Trick.

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So this for me, I don't care that it has

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>zero calories and zero sugar. I would not be recommending

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>it to my clients because of the added colors.

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I agree one hundred percent so when you look at

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the research around zero type soft drinks with artificial sweetener,

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not great, you know, in terms of certainly if

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>we can find natural sweetness, and this hasn't got just

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>one artificial sweetener, it's got three different ones to give

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 2>that incredibly sweet flavor. Which is the last thing, because

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>let's be honesty, and this is a product really marketed

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 2>for kids and teenagers, like it's bright red, So certainly

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 2>that level of sweetness is not what I would want

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 2>to encourage in any young person across the board. And

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you one hundred percent. And it's actually the

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 2>artificial sweetness combined with that preservative, which is too a

0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 2>lo in which some of the neurological research has been

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 2>done and it's early stages, but they believe there's an

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 2>interaction between the artificial sweetener and the preservatives in diets

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 2>of drinks. But that color is what we would call

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.159
<v Speaker 2>an artificial color. I think they should be banned in

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the food supply as soon as I see to have

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>a heart attack. So it's also you see it in

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the bright orange, the bright blue. There's a blue fanter

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.159
<v Speaker 2>out at the moment, slurpies and notorious for that, and

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>at a party I was a recently, the kids are

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 2>walking around with slurpies and with had a heart attack.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>So anything that is not the natural color of food,

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, this bright pink, this bright blue, it's not

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 2>good for us. You know, I don't think you need

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 2>a degree in nutrition to think that's probably not the

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 2>best thing for growing small children, let alone any of us.

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.119
<v Speaker 2>And I think they should be banned these colors in general.

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 2>So absolutely it would be an absolute no grow from me.

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 2>And I am quite strict with that with my kids.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I've said before, I'm not overly strict in my kids

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>in terms of dessert or treats, but I will not

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 2>have any kind of soft drink or color drink ever

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>that I'm in control of. And as you can imagine,

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>if it slips in through grandparents have a heart attack.

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>So certainly it's a big it's a big no from

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>me on anything that's bright pink and red. And for

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>those reasons, the artificial color and also the mix of

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>artificial sweeteners.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>And then the next time of Tros and Susie is

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>an interesting one because David really likes this one, and

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.359
<v Speaker 1>I said to him, right if you're gonna have this

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in the house, and you know, me is going to

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>grow up knowing that had daddy.

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Likes this sort of stuff, I want to.

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Have something that's a little bit better. So we sort

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of settled on this one because it does have a

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit of artificial sweetness in it, but it's much

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>more natural from a color perspective, and it doesn't have

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that overly sweetener that artificial taste of the sweetness as well.

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>So it's the Waterford's mineral water apple berry. But to me,

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>even though it's a mineral water, it tastes like a

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>soft drink, and I'm not a big soft drink drinker.

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>So a very small glass of this at dinner, watered

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>down with just a little bit of cold water and

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>some ice, to me is like a really really lovely

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>treat Like it definitely doesn't have that terrible artificial sort

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>of sweetness taste afterwards, which is nice. So it's a

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>dollar nine if I have at woolworst for a litter

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and if you look at the ingredients. So I've gone

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the waterfalls the apple berry one. They also do a

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>lemon lime one, and I think there's from a memory

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>like a lime flavor as well, or maybe a mango

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>or something. There's a couple of different flavors in the range,

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>so this one's an apple berry one. Carbonated water is

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the first ingredient, followed by reconstituted juice, so it's got

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>apple four point nine percent and raspberry point one percent,

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>so it's actually flavored with a little bit of reconstituted juice, which, yes,

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>from a sugar perspective, there's a little bit in there,

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think it's the worst thing. When I

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>run through the nutrition label as well, there's also a

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit of food acid, some natural flavor, some preservatives,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 1>some sweetness, same as the one before, nine two five,

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>nine five five and nine point fifty, with a little

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>bit of black carrot concentrate, some natural color source from

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>black carrot, so they're adding the color in there in

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>a more natural way. So this is far better than

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the added color one two three in the previous SWEPS

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>raspberry one that we've seen. So going to the nutrition

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>panel again, I'll do per hundred miles, we have twelve

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>killer jules in terms of energy, so what's that four

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>calories zero proteins are a fat zero point five grams

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>of carbs zero point four grams of that being sugar,

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>So yes, there is a little bit of natural sugar

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>from the reconstituted juice, but it's zero point four grams

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>per hundred mils. So if you're just having a small

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>cup of this or a small amount of this, or

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you're watering it down with a little bit of water

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>like I like to do, it's only a very small

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>amount of sugar compared to something like a fool sugar

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>soft drink, and obviously no fiber with fourteen milligrams of sodium,

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>which is barely anything. So I like this one as

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of an in between between then you know,

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>really artificial type soft drinks and then also the ones

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>with the added colors. So yes, it has some artificial

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>sweetness in there. There's a little bit of natural sugars

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>as well, and of course it's free from the added

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>colors as well, So I don't mind this as sort

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.439
<v Speaker 1>of like an in between option. And definitely this is

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>David's favorite one from like a taste perspective. He often

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>has this one. And if we do have you know,

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 1>friends over all that sort of thing, I will pull

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>out this if I have friends that are pregnant or

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>not drinking all that sort of thing. So I think

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a nice sort of in between one, and I

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>do sometimes recommend this one for my clients as well.

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Despite there being a little bit of added sugar in there,

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>it's nothing like the teaspoons and tea spoons that you

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>would find in a normal soft drink.

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm with you. This has been around for a

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.079
<v Speaker 2>really long time, this brand. I remember when I first

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>worked in the hospitals and this came out, this product,

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're right, it does have quite a nice flavor

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 2>and looks like anything in moderation. I wouldn't be against it.

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not my go to pick, but I'm not the

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 2>consumer of this brand. I think a lot of it's

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 2>to do with taste, because I think if things taste good,

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>and obviously said David quite likes it, so it's got

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 2>a nice flavor. But if I was being nutrition purist,

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I would say, where possible, seek out and naturally sweetened products.

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 2>So as soon as you see those nine fifties, I

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be keen and I certainly wouldn't be keen for

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 2>children to be consuming those based on the evidence that

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 2>it primes us to want more sweet food long term,

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and as such we also to wrap up our products.

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Have found probably what we would call the standout. So

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>if we were rating then we would say, well, the

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>artificial color and sweetness sort of the ideal of the worst,

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>followed by then the artificial sweetener. But then you've been

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>great and found what we would probably call the gold

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>standard if it comes for a sweetened drink, which is

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.959
<v Speaker 2>the next range, and they've got a growing range in supermarkets.

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I've seen with a much well, I think it's a

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 2>much better nutritional panel. And you would have seen these

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 2>bottles because they're right through supermarket. It's the next bar

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>drinks range. They've got a really extensive range. I want

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 2>to say, they've got butcher, they've got water.

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 1>They do, yeah, they've got cans, they've got the soft

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 1>drink bottles.

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 2>A lot of different products in supermarkets. So you've picked

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>the sugar free pineapple sparkling infusion. Has David had this one?

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>He has? He really likes. We often had this and

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 1>the pineapple flavor. I'm just going to put it out there, guys.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Is delicious, it's nice.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>And it's actually and well, is it more expensive? No,

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 2>it's about the same.

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>We're two dollars fifty. It's on sale at the moment.

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 2>We can't get them on sale, so that's a bonus.

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 2>So two is fifty if it's not on sale. Always

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.079
<v Speaker 2>liked to buy things on sale. Perserved twenty killer or

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 2>so next to nothing. They're no protein, fat as you'd expect,

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 2>minimal carbohydrate in significant at zero point one, and no

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>sodium actually, which is interesting because I think in the

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>other examples they've had a little tiny bit, which is interesting.

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 2>This has got absolutely none. But if we look at

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 2>the ingredied, it's a much cleaner list. So we've got

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 2>purified sparkling water the next, but natural sweetener blend which

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>is a erythrotol, and Stevia citric acid, which is just

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>to get the bubbliness right of the water. Natural flavors,

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 2>natural pineapple flavor, natural color, very important, and it's said

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 2>that the erythrotol is naturally produced by the fermentation of

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>starches and fruits and vegetables. So it's got no preservatives,

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 2>which is a major standout for me because preservatives in

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>small amount amounts aren't bad for us, but sometimes as

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 2>chemicals they do interact and as I said, there is

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 2>some research to show that sodium benzoate, which is a

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>common preservative in soft drink, can interact with sweeteners and

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 2>they believe has some neurological impact long term. So as

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I said, it's in its early stages of research, but

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 2>that has been flagged in studies before. So to have

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 2>a product like this with no preservatives, let alone sodium

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 2>benzoate is really fantastic and made in Australia from ninety

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 2>five percent of Australia ingredients. So if I was recommending

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>a product, I generally say I don't go for WATERFS

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 2>because it's got artificial sweetener. Certainly, I'm a much bigger

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 2>fan of this range of drinks, and you can find

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 2>them freely in supermarket, which is important because you need

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 2>to be able to pick them up as part of

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the weekly shop and not have to go to specialty

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 2>stores to find these products. So that is absolutely I

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 2>think you would agree with me our standout. If you

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>like a sweet drink, really seek out, particularly for children,

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the natural sweetness and no preservatives and natural colors. Now

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 2>we would always say water should be the drink of choice.

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 2>If you were giving this to children, I would say,

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>no more than one very small cup a day. But

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 2>it's like anything, it's personal choice how you run your

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>family and their intake, and this would be our pick,

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 2>particularly if you're having parties and you wanted to give

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the kids something that was a bit sweet up. This

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 2>would absolutely be my pick, even over for juice. Yeah,

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>and personally, I mean, I can't talk to me.

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>He's not at the age where she would have this,

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>but I like to think that I wouldn't even be

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>giving this to me, even in a small copper day.

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>This would be more like a treat based thing, even

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>though it is a lot a lot healthier. There's no

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>sugars in it because just as you mentioned, it is

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>so overly sweet. If I did give her a little

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>bit at absolutely water, and I would still treat this

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like a you know, sometimes treat based food or drink

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>versus something that's like regularly sort of available as well.

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>So as she grows up, I will be very careful

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.599
<v Speaker 1>that David is limiting the amount of these sorts of

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>things that we do have in their household, because, as

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>you've said, it's very easy once they become teens and

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 1>they make their own money for them to then go

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.439
<v Speaker 1>to you know, places like seven to eleven and get

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>a slurp. You'll go to McDonald's and get one of

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the iced you know, rispberry drinks or something like that,

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think as kids and teens, they have a

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>hard time knowing that this really sweet yellow drink is

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>any different to the sweet red drink that they'll get

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>at a birthday party as well. So I think limiting

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>this overall for our children is really important. But definitely

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.079
<v Speaker 1>choosing the healthy arrange if it is a bit of

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 1>a celebration or a birthday party or a bit of

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a treat for the week as well. So I definitely

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>this is one that I recommend for the majority of

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>my clients as well. It's a really great brand and

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>it's bussy. It's made from Austrainan ingredients as well, which

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I think is great, great find, wonderful all right, guys, Well,

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that brings us to the end of the Nutrition Catch

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.760
