Why can someone usually drink the juice from several oranges more easily than eating the same number of whole oranges?
Because most of the fibre stays behind when the fruit is juiced, so the juice is less filling.
The video says fruit is healthy but still warns about drinking lots of fruit juice. What two ideas are being compared?
Fruit provides vitamins, but juice can contain a lot of sugar and much less fibre than whole fruit.
According to the video, one glass of fresh orange juice contains about ? sugar cubes?
About 6 sugar cubes.
Which would probably keep you feeling full for longer: a whole orange or orange juice? Explain using the video.
A whole orange, because it keeps the fibre that helps you feel full.
According to the video, which two artificial sweeteners are used to make Coke Zero taste sweet?
Aspartame and acesulfame K.
What does the video CLAIM may happen after your brain expects sugar from a diet drink but does not receive calories?
You may feel hungrier or crave more sweet food.
Why does the video suggest sparkling water as an alternative to soft drink?
It can be more interesting than plain water while avoiding added sugar, if you choose an unsweetened one.
Why can an energy drink make a person feel more tired later even if it gives a quick boost at first?
The effects of caffeine and sugar can wear off, leading to a 'crash'.
What is the contradiction in the name 'energy drink' that the video points out?
It can give short-term energy but may be followed by greater tiredness later.
The video says supermarket almond milk may not be as simple as 'almonds + water'. What three label details does it suggest checking?
Added sugar, additives, and how much almond is actually in the product.
Why is the argument 'almonds are healthy, so almond milk must be healthy' too simple?
Because the final product may contain added sugar/additives and may contain only a small percentage of almonds.
What two alternatives does the video give if you are concerned about supermarket almond milk?
Make almond milk at home, or read labels carefully and choose a better option.
Put these drinks in order from LESS sugar to MORE sugar according to the video: Coca-Cola, 7 Up, Mountain Dew, Sprite, Pepsi.
7 Up → Sprite → Coca-Cola → Pepsi → Mountain Dew.
The video gives 7 Up as 9.25 sugar cubes and Mountain Dew as more than 11. What is the MINIMUM difference between them?
More than 1.75 sugar cubes.
Sprite is listed as 9.5 sugar cubes and Coca-Cola as 9.75. How many sugar cubes would the two cans contain altogether?
19.25 sugar cubes.
The video says 'some studies' suggest carrageenan could cause cancer. Why should that statement be treated carefully rather than as a proven fact?
Because 'some studies' and 'could' do not prove cause and effect; the quality of evidence and wider scientific agreement would need checking.
