From your experience working as a health teacher at Whitney High since 2018, how many teens do you see carrying sugary drinks onto campus? And What do you think they don't realize about the sweeteners in those drinks?
2:18
Yeah, I see tons of kids, even today, especially Fridays, because it's a Friday drink.
2:23
There are hundreds of kids with sugary drinks in their hands that I feel like they don't even realize what they're drinking.
2:28
They just, it's the cool thing to do.
2:30
One of those Rebel drinks, most people don't even realize, has about over 100 grams of sugar in one Rebel drink.
2:37
And that's a medium size.
2:38
If you're talking a large, it has about 165 grams of sugar, which is unheard of because the daily recommended amount of sugar for teens is about 25 grams.

But how do you think teenagers can make healthy decisions and enjoy sugar responsibly? And what resources or tools would you want them to look to for advice?
