2:05:49 uh... so i mean i don't know what they're doing here every bill could have its own i p address and you could never be kind of funny they did definitely possible because of the trillions and trillions of i p address you'll be able to get from the new so i i think it's the way to go the way to go So we both had the diet soda report. It's interesting because you have a clip about a minute and it says diet soda bad, diet soda really bad. And I have an analysis which I thought was kind of more interesting from a doctor, from a TV doctor by the way. This is the report that came out which basically said that the world uh... the elephant in the room as they're talking about aspartame but they're not saying aspartame which is very interesting it's all about the sweeteners and so this is a p r job and i and i have proof of that in the in a moment let's have a senior clip first is new setup or just uh... roll the river this is a diane sawyer who just is that don't think is a good anchor she's she'd kind of
2:06:48 is mud mouthed. I'm not impressed. Mud mouthed? But she... here she is. In health news tonight, first diet soda and a new report that seems to show a link to heart attack and stroke and also eggs. Turns out they may be healthier than they were before. What does this mean for the amount we can eat? Our chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser is here to explain. Let's start with the diet soda. Right. Oh this is gonna be great because I have another chief medical editor from a different news report. So this is going to be great. We'll compare the two. This will be fun. As you know, I want to start with the diet soda here. Hold on a second. Stop. If we're going to do that, let's look for the exact same wording. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Because my doctor actually stumbles and almost messes it up. And I think that's a clue. A link to stroke? Heart disease? That's right. It's a study that was presented today. Okay. Now, again, listen to what he's saying because again, it's a study.
2:07:49 Right? It's a study which, this is how you get news, do a study and you got news. Now listen very closely. At the American Stroke Association meeting and it seems to show that people who have daily diet soda are at increased risk of stroke. But I have to tell you, I don't buy the findings, it wasn't well done. They didn't look at what other things people were taking in. So I wouldn't change behavior based on that. But Diane, I gotta tell you, I'm not a big fan of drinking a lot of diet soda. So if you hear about that study, don't go by that study, but why don't you like diet soda? Well, we know that regular soda is linked to obesity, but if you're drinking a lot of diet soda, you're gonna start to crave that intense sweetness that you get there, and that's not good. If you can switch over to having unsweetened beverages, having sparkling water, unsweetened tea, and occasional diet soda, that's fine.
2:08:36 Wow, okay, so without saying it, he's saying it's addictive. You'll keep wanting it, you'll want more, you'll want more. Very interesting. So he says, oh, the study's no good. Now this is ABC. Oh, this is fantastic. My report is from NBC. Oh wow, this is great. And listen to what my... So your doctor is... Oh, this... Oh, I don't like this study. This is no good. Screw this. My doctor has a little different take and also about the study. Dr. Nancy Snyderman is NBC's chief medical editor. Good morning to you, Nancy. Notice chief medical editor. Same credentials, John. Same credentials. This is a little confusing. The official study has not been released. This is a press release from the National... Oh, well that's interesting.
2:09:23 It's a press release, it's not the actual study. So did your doctor actually read the study? I don't know, he seems to have, but maybe not. She says that it's not out yet. Listen. Abstract. So it's not just a press release. It is an abstract and it was presented at the stroke meeting. So they presented an abstract at the stroke meeting. So your guy's lying. I think he read the abstract. He doesn't like it. I'll stand by, let's hear more. And there's some science behind this. Okay, but without being able to pinpoint the link, how much diet soda... Do you hear that? Without being able to pinpoint the link to what? To aspartame. Is too much diet soda. Well, what they found and what they reported was that for people who drank soda every day, there was a 61% increased risk of a vascular event, something like a stroke. I think there
2:10:06 I think the real question of why the beverage industry has taken a stand and the scientists are saying no, we stand by our data, is that we don't know where the it is. What is it that might be the link? I can't, John, what could it possibly be? What's in this stuff? It's only like the flavoring that's in alcohol. I don't understand. No one knows. It's a mystery. What are they talking about? It's a mystery. What could it be? I don't understand. It could maybe is the water. No, no, it couldn't be like that aspartame stuff could it? No, it's a mystery. I think we have to sort of dial back.
2:10:43 our social patterns a little bit to the days of Julia Child where she would say, hey, what's wrong with a teaspoon of sugar? It's 16 calories. It's not going to make you fat and it's not going to kill you. But we have fallen in love with dietary sweeteners. And what we've all found is they've made us like things sweeter. There's now some science that it may rejigger the brain such that it makes you crave other things. Yes, exactly. This is what aspartame does. It's amazing these people buy into global warming immediately and oh Science says so but when it comes to like proven science about aspartame We can't even say the word aspartame because we know we're gonna get sued if we do that So there's a link here somewhere. We just don't John
2:11:33 only we could find the link. Yours is funnier than mine. I don't know where the link is. NBC's got funnier material than ABC. And it continues, but she actually stumbles and I think it's a clue as to what's going on here and you watch because I know what's happening here. Stand by. I don't quite know what it is, but there's no doubt that we like things sweeter and when we want things sweeter we want more of them. But when it comes to the link, the American Beverage Association is taking a hard stand against this study. They say that one of the problems is things like family history and weight gain were not controlled in this study. Well, the scientists controlled things pretty much beyond that. There may always be a genetic component.
2:12:14 So, so she's saying that the scientists did a good job and they did have all that control stuff. While your editor is saying they didn't. Wow, this is very interesting. Well, ABC is more part of the White House. Well, I know what it is. It's coming. You just watched. I know what they drink in the White House. Listen to her stumble. And weight gain per se, I'm not so sure, is important. The beverage industry does have a point that we don't Really, there's no reason to think that this is there's a villain in diet. Did you hear it? Did you hear it? She's diet what what did she say?
2:12:54 Diet cola. That's what she was gonna say diet coke listen very carefully is important the beverage industry does have a point that we don't really There's no reason to think that this is there's a villain in diet beverages I drink I think you have to remember so here's what I think is going on I think what's going on is this is cola Pepsi war And I think because there's a member we talked a couple weeks ago about a new sweetener neoprene Yeah, no, we there was some time ago. We've been talking about these not that long ago. No, it's it's it's been couple weeks No, it's only a couple weeks. It's only a couple weeks and let me just Google it for a second neo I think it's neoprene is what it is something neoprene No, yes some stevia related. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
2:13:46 It was another horrible one. I can't remember what it was. Maybe the chat room will figure it out. So we know in the White House they drink Diet Pepsi. We know this. I think this is Pepsi Coke coming out and fighting because Diet Coke has aspartame and Diet Pepsi is going to announce they're using the new stuff. You watch, this is a diet Pepsi, diet Coke war and of course what's getting snowed under is the fact that people are dying from aspartame and all of these sweeteners that do mess with your brain, shred your DNA, make you fat. There's a lot of folk evidence, in other words, just passed around that
2:14:35 excessive amounts of diet colas or diet sodas of any sort actually seems to be creating early onset Parkinson's. yeah well that and i think i i would be reinterpreted as a distance if the you're probably right pepsi try to cover some because of the came out as a press releases holding this is being staged hold but i also think it might be a staging for the removal of at the slow removable of aspartame before the real studies come out to show how deadly this stuff is right and that what they're gonna do is they're gonna come out with a gun a slow this like walking backwards real slowly while you're watching the barrier you know i think that that is that that that is that that that that that and then they're gonna put in these new sweeteners and then they're going to just be mom about aspartame in the future of these is one show up anywhere so it's either a rickety their pepsi cola wars which i think is very possible
2:15:34 Or it's a rebranding exercise. Something is going on and no one is... I mean, it's unbelievable that they're sitting there going, what is... we just don't know the link. We just don't know what it is. It's the only variable there is in these diet colas. It's the aspartame. Everything else is in regular cola. You got your cola flavor, you got your phosphoric acid, you've got your this and that. They're all in both drinks. The only thing that's not in regular cola is aspartame. There you go. How is this so confusing to them? Because they're not allowed to say it. This is a PR move. They're apparently not allowed to say it. Yeah, it's a PR move and something is afoot, and it's happening. I mean just watch it and we're gonna laugh. And this is why it's good to listen to the show because you can laugh when you see it unfold. You're like, huh, okay, we knew that.
