A Herald story revealed New Zealand households spend $20 million
a year on energy drinks, and some people are drinking two litres
a day just to get through a shift. In this episode Prof. Grant
Schofield and guest co-host, Sam Schofield unpack the predatory
marketing with energy drinks aimed squarely at young boys, why a
single 500ml can hides 13 teaspoons of sugar and 160mg of
caffeine, and the B6 toxicity risk almost nobody talks about,
with recorded cases here in NZ and Australia.

From there:

- Are "sugar-free" lollies just a clever scam? Should governments
regulate the food environment the way they regulate everything
else?

- A surprising new zinc trial where people lost nearly 3× more
weight on the same calories.

- The real story on seed oils and your cell membranes, which is
more nuanced than the internet tells you.

- And why the coming robot age might make some of us healthier,
not sicker.

This is general discussion, not medical advice. Talk to your own
clinician before changing anything.
