Hey guys, how you doing?
Hey, Jack.
Hey James, good morning.
How are you?
Hey Jack, how's it going?
Good.
I'm about to eat this healthy breakfast of mine.
I'm trying to cut down on sugar.
Really?
Take a look at your tray.
You have this muffin, yogurt, you have your granola,
juice drink.
But hold on a second.
This is a healthy blueberry muffin, yogurt.
Granola is better than cereal.
It's true, but the serving size that I
have compared to the serving size
that you have is substantially different.
A serving of granola is only about half a cup,
and you have four times that amount.
Unfortunately, all of these have added sugar.
So let me show you something, Jack.
This is a model of sugar.
You happened to just have that in your pocket?
I am a nanoscientist, right?
It's comprised of two different components.
This is glucose, and this is fructose.
These two molecules, when they're inside your body,
end up being converted into fat.
So that means you could become obese?
Exactly.
There are other issues, like cardiovascular issues, and even
diabetes.
So we have to be concerned about the amount of added
sugar we have in our diets.
But James, I like sugar.
I love sugar too.
Everyone does.
It tastes fantastic.
Sugar is something that we need to live.
But the point is, is having balance in the amount of sugar
that you end up consuming throughout your day.
Now, it would be a good idea if we
try to keep track of how much added sugar that you have.
OK, how are we going to do that?
Ah, here you go.
Beaker of sugar?
So for your granola, add in four scoops.
Four scoops?
Four scoops.
All right, here we go.
One, two, three--
This is starting to build up.
--four.
It is, isn't it?
Uh oh.
We're just getting started.
Look at your muffin here.
It's a blueberry muffin.
But it has all this added sugar on top,
and there's a lot of added sugar inside.
You probably would do better if you had a nice piece of toast
and some nut butter.
So your blueberry muffin has 30 grams--
30 grams of sugar?
--of added sugar.
So start scooping-- seven and a half.
Oh, all right.
One.
Two.
See, look?
It's getting up there, isn't it?
Three.
Just three now.
Four, five, six.
Seven.
Seven and a half.
Now, let's look at your yogurt.
Oh, no.
Well, the yogurt has to be OK.
Take a look at the label.
It has 14 grams of added sugar.
If you want something sweet like yogurt,
get a nice Greek yogurt.
Throw in some berries.
That will go a long way to satisfying your sweet tooth.
We're going to have to add in three scoops.
Three scoops of sugar, just for the yogurt-- one, two.
Three.
Now, let's get to your juice drink.
Juice and fruits are good for you.
Yes, fruit is good for you.
We would recommend a small serving of 100% juice
with a little bit of water.
All right, drink up.
Start scooping.
OK.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Four?
James, this is all the way to the top.
That's right, Jack.
This is added sugar that exists on your breakfast tray.
That's just from one breakfast.
Now, if we add up the entire year, it ends up being--
thank you very much, Luce--
61 pounds of added sugar.
61 pounds just in breakfast alone a year?
Just on breakfast alone.
This is way more sugar than I'd ever imagined.
This early morning breakfast turned out
to be a real wake up call.
Hi, mind if I join you?
Hey, Cindy, how are you?
Hey.
Hey, Cindy.
Hey, hi.
By the way, I noticed you are drinking black tea.
Yeah, I'm trying to cut back on my sugar.
Well, have I got a story to tell you.
Sweet.
