transcript

"VO: It’s just one soda with dinner, what’s the harm? It starts with 11 teaspoons of added sugar in his breakfast drink...8 teaspoons at lunch...Another 9 on the field...And 10 teaspoons for dinner...
All these sugary drinks add up to weight gain, diabetes and tooth decay. For the best health, serve your family water or low-fat milk.
