Sugary Drinks Agitate Teens - Dr. Howard Smith Reports

What this episode covers

Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVMgWsMmDEm/Sugary drinks are linked to higher anxiety levels in teens and twenty somethings. That’s the finding from food science researchers at Britain’s Bournemouth University published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics.Their meta-analysis of 9 on-point studies collectively studying thousands of adolescents demonstrates that higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is consistently associated with a 34% greater risk of experiencing anxiety symptoms. The beverages studied included carbonated drinks, energy drinks, sweetened teas and coffees, sugary juices, and flavored milks.One in every 5 Americans experiences an anxiety disorder. If that person is you or your teen and you or they love drinking any of the drinks I just mentioned, know that the tendencies to worry, panic, or experience distress could originate in that liquid you or they love to swallow. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jhn.70217https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-sugary-linked-anxiety-young-people.html#sugar #anxiety #teens #twentysomethings

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
