Kelly: EVERY OTHER
THURSDAY, WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT
A HEALTH ISSUE OR CONCERN AFFECT
MANY PEOPLE.
BREAK DOWN IT'S INFORMATION AND
TELLING YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY.
DR. KALANI BRADY FROM THE JOHN
A. BURNS SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
JOINS US NOW.
GOOD MORNING.
Kelly: I WOULD THINK MOST
PEOPLE DO THINK SWEETENED
DRINKS.
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT THESE
BEVERAGES?
WHAT ARE THE DANGERS?
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEM
FIRST.
Kelly: OKAY.
ON THE AVERAGE, THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN YOUTH CONSUMES
133-CALORIES, AND THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN ADULT, 138-CALORIES OF
SUGAR SWEETENED BEVERAGES EVERY
SINGLE DAY.
Kelly: WOW.
YES.
HIGHER USE OF SUGAR SWEETENED
BEVERAGES IS ASSOCIATED WITH
TYPE TWO DIABETESES AND
METABOLIC SYNDROMESES.
PEOPLE WHO DRINK ONE TWO TO TWO CANS
A DAY HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF
TYPE TWO DIABETES.
AND SUGARY DRINK CONSUMPTION
INCREASES THE RISK OF HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE BY 8% AND HEART DISEASE
BY 17%.
ONE DRINK A DAY OF SUGARY
BEVERAGES INCREASES A MAN'S RISK
OF A HEART ATTACK BY 20%.
SO THIS IS A A BIG PROBLEM.
Kelly: WHY IS THAT?
IS IT THE EXTRA CALORIE OR
SUGAR?
ALL OF THE ABOVE.
CALORIES ARE PROBABLY THE
BIGGEST CAUSE.
EMPTY CALORIES ARE WHAT SUGAR
IS.
THAT BASICALLY BURN, BUT THEY
PROVIDE NO OTHER NUTRITIONAL
BENEFIT.
Kelly: SO YOU'RE TALKING
THE STATISTICS THAT YOU'RE
GIVING ARE IF YOU DRINK A CAN A
DAY OR THIS OR THAT.
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE ARE IT'S
OCCASIONAL I HAVE A SODA A WEEK
OR OVER EARTH -- EVERY OTHER WEEK?
IT'S KIND OF LIKE GRAT USE.
-- CIGARETTE USE.
A LITTLE CIGARETTE OVER A PERIOD
OF TIME.
THERE IS HISTORIC, AND YOU CAN'T
GET RID OF THE RISK WITHOUT
GETTING RID OF THE SUGAR
SWEETENED BEVERAGE.
Kelly: WE SAY EVERYTHING IN
MODERATION BUT THIS EVEN LESS
SO.
WHAT ABOUT DIFFERENT OPTIONS?
PEOPLE LOVE THEIR FRUITY OR
SUGARY DRINKS.
WHAT OTHER THINGS CAN THEY HAVE
INSTEAD?
BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, YOU
TALK ABOUT FRUITY DRINKS.
FRUIT DRYING DRINKS ARE ALMOST AS BAD
AS SODA.
Kelly: EVEN APPLE JUICE?
EVEN APPLE JUICE.
Kelly: I LOVE ME SOME APPLE
JUICE, DR. BRADY.
SO DRINKS THAT ARE SPORTS
DRINKS.
NUTRITIONAL DRINKS.
IF THEY HAVE ADDED SUGAR,
ICED COFFEE AND BOTTLED TEA ARE
FREQUENTLY INCLUDE SUGAR AS
WELL.
ALL THESE THINGS ARE WAYS TO
INCREASE THE SUGAR AND INCREASE
THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE AND
DIABETES.
WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE, YOU
ASK?
WATER.
PURE, CLEAN WATER.
SKIM MILK IS AN ALTERATIVE.
AND THEY'RE -- I DRINK DIE YET
SODA WHEN I HAVE THAT OCCASIONAL
ONCE A WEEK CRAVING.
DIET SODA HAS NO SUGAR IN IT.
THAT'S WHAT I DRINK.
BUT THE BEST IS REALLY JUST
PURE, CLEAN WATER.
Kelly: OKAY.
AND AYE -- I'VE HEARD WITH DIE YET
SUGAR, THERE'S ASPERTAIN.
THERE'S NOT BEEN ANY STUDIES
BY THE FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION OR ANY OF THE
MAMMOTH STUDYS THAT HAVE BEEN
THAT SHOW THAT ASPERTAIN IS
DANGEROUS TO HUMANS.
Kelly: OKAY.
IT DOESN'T CAUSE CANCER.
IT DOESN'T CAUSE OTHER DISEASES.
IT'S PERFECTLY SAFE.
Kelly: THERE'S A LOT OF
MISINFORMATION ABOUT ASPERTAIN
TOO.
I'VE HEARD SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
I TRUST AN DUAL DOCTOR.
GOOD TO KNOW.
THANKS SO MUCH.
WE ALL LOVE OUR SUGARY DRINKS
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE HEALTH
BENEFITS OF CUTTING THOSE EMPTY
CALORIE OUT IF YOU CAN CUT OUT
HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES, WHY
WOULDN'T YOU TAKE THAT CHANCE?
WHY.
Kelly: THANKS SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US AND BREAKING DOWN THE
DANGERS OF SWEET PED DRINKS.
THIS IS A TOPIC WE ALL SHOULD BE
TALKING ABOUT.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE DRINKS
THESE.
THANKS SO MUCH.
MY PLEASURE.
