Speaker 1 (00:00):
We've got the man himself, Adam Sullivan.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
You're controversial, aren't you. Yeah, start the day hearing us
talking about.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
What part of it was controversial.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I don't know cox better than water.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Look, if you watch the whole thing, that wasn't the point.
It can be. It depends on the.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Context, which is which is what you actually do with
a lot of your posts. You actually get everyone's attention
and then you explain it and break it down.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, if you don't do that, no one's going to watch.
So yeah, have you got to get him a little
bit excited.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
You're very good at it, you said to the guys
off air. I'm like, he's clickbaiting us.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
He's a clever man.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
But it wasn't click bait because it was a fact
that a coke zero on its own is more hydrating
than a water.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Okay, so unpack more.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Well, when you sweat, you lose sodium and water. So
if you only drank water, you wouldn't be replenishing the
electrolytes with it. So you need something to go with
the fluid so your body retains that water.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Right, So is there much sodium in coke zero?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
There's some is there. I hope. So if I'm saying that,
I hope through my hand. Right now, let's have a
look adam in.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
I went to chat GBT and it actually said because
coke zero is so low in everything, it's practically water
and so it does it chat with water? Yeah, chatchyt like.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
So the sweetener they use, it's something like five hundred
times sweeter than sugar, so you only need the tiniest
amount to make it that sweet. That's why there's no calories.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
A right, gotcha? So and but but the messaging around it,
mate is basically, don't panic if you're going to have
a drink for your trying to replenish some hydrolytes. Don't
panic if you're going to have one of these drinks.
If it's there, if you're not having it every day,
it shouldn't matter.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, that's another story.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
The message around that real was hydration comes down to
fluid plus electrolytes, and you can get that by eating
a meal and drinking water.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Right, So there's all these hydration drinks on the market.
People are starting their day. They think they've got to
be hydrated. When you eat food and drink water, you're
going to be fine. That was the point the coke zeros.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
There's actually some studies showing that those who drink coke zero.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Can lose more fat than those who.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Drink water alone because when they want something sweet, you know,
they have a coke zero instead of eating or something,
and it's got no calories and it so it helps them.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's a calorie episode better, which is your whole message.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, A lot of it's psychological too, isn't it. It
tricks the body into thinking I'm satisfied.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Aside from that, Adams, when we last spoke to you, you
were having a baby. Now you've had your baby. So
