6MINED ENGLISH From bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6MINED ENGLISH.
I'm Alice.
And I'm Neil.
Can you pass me my drink, Alice?
Cola, Neil.
That's very unhealthy.
You told me to stop drinking coffee because it's unhealthy.
Now you're telling me cola's bad, too.
Mm, cola is full of sugar.
There are about 60 spoons in each can.
At least.
That's pretty sugary, I admit.
Well, we're talking about diabetes today.
Diabetes is a condition where the body can't control the amount of glucose or sugar in the blood.
If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications,
including heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure and blindness.
I'm not diabetic, though, Alice.
So what's the problem?
