Dr. Crandall: Excessive sugar in popular beverages is making us sick | Bianca Across the Nation

And we're going to ask Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks show us the safety data that show that it's okay to for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 g of sugar in it. I don't think they're going to be able to do it. Ooh, all right. Robert F. Kennedy putting a spotlight on sugar. This was a recent Eat Real Food rally and he said his department is taking a closer look as you just heard at ingredients used by major chains like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. I'm pleased to bring in now the expert in it comes to heart health, Dr. Chauncey Crandall, director of the Palm Beach Clinic of Preventive Medicine, author of The Simple Heart Cure, the 90-day program to stop and reverse heart disease. Dr. Crandall, welcome in. I'll go a little bit further on this. So, our viewers, it's not just sugar. Secretary Kennedy says they're targeting a policy that's known as generally recognized as safe or GRAS, allowing companies to introduce ingredients without full federal review. Are you on board with this? Well, I'm not on board for the the simple review process. Bianca, what is happening is the government has become a little lax and companies have taken advantage of it and they're taking advantage of you, the consumer, the people that are actually watching this show and they're trying to get you addicted to their drinks and their products and the problem is there's too much sugar, too much additives, too much dye, too many ingredients in these products and it's making us sick. We get metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, all these things, Bianca, I'm seeing in my practice right now. And Kennedy is right, we need to put an end to it. We need to be strict about it. We need to get real food in these ingredients. What? And to to put up, I just want to show everything you're saying to back up the facts here. You've got a a blue raspberry colada. Some people may be enjoying one of these today, Dr. Crandall, but 100 g of sugar, preservatives, artificial dyes. So, we have, you know, the statements there, but the National Association of Manufacturers pushing back saying that the food and beverage supply chain produces safe, abundant, accessible, and nutritious options for Americans. And even the governor of Massachusetts, where they really love Dunkin's, says, "Come and take it." So, there is a pushback despite everything you just said from the medical expertise. How can they claim that it's safe, abundant, and and nutritious if we see everything else there that you just talked about? Well, you know, Bianca, money talks and money is very powerful in this society and and when it speaks, people listen, but I will tell you as a doctor, we're seeing more cases of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and it's due to the bad foods that we are eating. So, if we can educate people and we can get young people hooked on a proper product when they are young, we can prevent many of the diseases and the consequences that Secretary Kennedy is talking about. So, we need to change things. Yeah. We need to fight for our children today. I'm all for it. And there's also studies that coffee in and of itself is actually good for you in certain types of, you know, ways. Just depends on how you drink it, how you make it. So, there's been some benefits of coffee. It's not about leaving coffee because I do need my morning cup of java. Dr. Crandall, always good to see you. Thank you.
