as we have donald trump with seven victories. vermont, massachusetts, virginia, tennessee, alabama, georgia and arkansas. ted cruz had the big five of texas, his home state. he goes along with oklahoma and alaska. marco rubio took minnesota, his first win of the race. here's how the delegate count stacks up. trump with 292 and 188 for cruise and 88 for rubio. >> a big night for hillary. virginia, tennessee, alabama, texas and massachusetts. bernie sanders won vermont as well as oklahoma, minnesota and colorado. take a look at the delegates. hillary clinton has 979 to 382 for bernie sanders. >> we have complete coverage from our team. let's go to correspondent peter

alexander. >> reporter: it was a super tuesday for donald trump with wide appeal from the deep south to the northeast. donald trump won ten states and collected more delegates than both marco rubio and ted cruz combined. tallying up an impressive night. >> we could win six or seven or eight or nine. >> the billionaire boefing victories from alabama to massachusetts. >> dividing not just a country but your party. >> i am a unifier. once we get it finished, i will go after hillary clinton. >> combining naysayers who said he was toxic. he toned down the bashing and tried to bring back a republican party. >> the republican party is more

dynamic and diverse and we have a lot more people. >> god bless the lone star state. >> by locking up wins in his home state of texas and oklahoma along with an early morning call for alaska, ted cruz had to be the best equipped to challenge trump. >> we have not racked up significant dell gets. i ask you to consider while coming together. that is the only way to beat donald trump. >> i love you, miami! >> marco rubio with sights set on florida captured a desperately needed win in minnesota and targeted trump. >> the party is lincoln and reagan and the presidency of the united states will never be held by a conartist. i will campaign wherever it takes to ensure i am the next

president of the united states. >> one of the biggest takeaways would be the turn out. 15 states have now vote and 15 republican states have had record turn out except for vermont when barack obama swept the victory in the united states to 2016. the parties effectively trading places. the democrats with 8.2 million voters in the state that voted on super tuesday. the republicans with five million. this time the exact opposite. the republicans with 8.3 million voters turning out. the democrats with 5.5 million. >> thank you very much. donald trump said he deserves a lot of credit for that. >> it's a telling number with the show. hillary clinton had taken command of the democratic race with victory in her sights. the campaign is increasingly

focusing on donald trump. kristen welker focuses on that. >> hillary clinton has major momentum after victories in the south due to huge african-american support. bernie sanders insists he can suffer, but that will be tougher now. clinton securing the front-runner status sweeping the sou south, winning seven states in all. even pulling off a victory in massachusetts defeating the vermont senator in his back yard. >> this country belongs to all of us, not just some of us. >> as clinton marches forward, sanders has it growing increasingly narrow. >> i am so proud to bring vermont values all across this country. >> tuesday he claimed victory in

his state ofermont and wins in oklahoma, colorado and minnesota, vowing to fight on. >> by the end of tonight, we are going to win many hundreds of delegates. >> clinton is setting her sights on the battle with a face off with donald trump. >> america never stopped being great. we have to make america whole. >> painting herself as the anti-trump. >> i believe what we need in america today is more love and kindness. >> the republican front-runner returning fire signalling if nominated, he will use the controversy over her e-mails as one of the biggest weapon. >> what she did is a criminal act. if she is allowed to run i will be very, very surprised.

>> the rhetoric we are hearing on the other side has never been lower. >> clinton is leading by hundreds of delegates. she won't put it out of reach. sanders will lay out the path forward, a sign he has no intention of getting out any time soon. >> we will look at how the numbers are breaking down. chuck todd is the moderator of "meet the press" and also up all night. if someone won all the early states, people say the race is over. >> the party leaders would be falling all over each other. this leader who is bringing new voters and doing all this voting. >> we are remaining to look at a difficult path for the nomination. what can they do some. >> you have over a 100 delegate

lead. that's likely to grow. even though that's 100 and that can't be that much. that is significant. they have 13 days. there is a lot of primaries and caucuses by march 15th. we are spending a lot of time talking about florida. marco rubio. the game now, they can't get the nomination on their. >> they can't get the magic number. donald trump, they have to start beating him. i don't know if they are going to do it. i don't know if john kasich can win. cruz might get a few. trump, mark my word is going to win most of these states starting with perhaps a big one in michigan six days from now. >> we will continue with that. let's look at the democrats. they need to look at the

delegateses and see why they are saying this is getting to be a tougher and tougher road for bernie sanders. >> there is that gap there. even if you take ow the super delegates, party leaders that endorsed her, she would have a 200 delegate lead which is nearly insurmountable. this is a lot of african-american voters that dominate. bernie sanders did pathetic with these voters. if you can't win these voters, there you go. >> he is sensitive about the map. why don't we come over here and let nicole and matt in on this. >> like the republican party. >> ted cruz has a better than expected night and not a great

night for marco rubio even though he won minnesota. make your case for staying in the case for him. >> he is articulated by trump. he has trump from reaching the magic number and that is all that rubio can hope for in terms of results and delegates. he no longer can get the 1200 himself. >> if donald trump took to the stage, who was that guy? that was not the donald trump that we have seen over the last six months. he complimented ted cruz and didn't call him a liar. a couple shots at marco rubio. how long can he stay in this character? >> i don't know. if he can just act like a statesman for a minute, he did

it for a few minutes yesterday. the problem with trump, if that trump can sustain that temperament for 13 more days, that's all he has to do. for 13 more days until march 15th. he will be the nominee and won't be able to stop. the trump we have seen has never been able to sustain temperamentally that persona. >> you said i am trying to be more statesman like. he was watching that word. you pick your insults. there is always the question of could a third party candidate emerge. last night we coined a term establishment fantasy. is that what it is? >> it is a possibility because of the cycle everything is possible. everything is on the table. you would call the convention an impossibility three months ago. that is on the table. >> trying to do this quick low,

the plan here is to stop donald trump at the convention. wouldn't they want the guys to stay in the race than keep dividing the delegates? >> hope getting romney to file late and find other ways. >> i agree. i will be curious to see. will there be a pack between cruz, rubio and kasich. we want our voters to vote for you. kasich said i want all my supporters to vote for marco rubio. i don't think these three can work together like that. >> it's also really, really hard. it's really difficult to deprive someone of the nomination. not because of the numbers, but the ferocity of his supporters. they are very committed. >> marco rubio almost won due to

strategic voting. it didn't work. >> that's a quick answer. >> that was like 2.5 minutes. >> that was short. >> thank you very much. >> nbc's halle jackson covered ted cruz's campaign and caught up with him after he addressed supporters in houston. good morning. >> good morning. ted cruz is looking to kansas where he will be today after the oklahoma primary at the victory party. here he did what he had to do is win and made the case to republicans which aring rivals that unite around him as the best shot at stopping donald trump. >> where do you go from here? >> at this point there have been 15 faces and only one candidate

beat donald trump. that's us. >> did someone dropout? >> all of these people are putting this country first. if it's clear that candidate does not have a path to the nomination and has not won a state in 15 contests, there comes a point where you have to ask, do you want donald trump to be the nominee. i think republicans will get clobbered. people will look at the numbers and the results and consider what to do and it is my hope that as a party we say stop this madness. do not nominate a candidate who will drive the party off a cliff. >> how do you bead donald trump? >> we have to get one on one, head to head. everyone else is being fractured and divided and hope the party

will say it is reckless at a time when the stakes have never been higher. it's reckless to roll the dies and he may be the one candidate that hillary clinton can beat. the democrats are celebrating and weigh can't let that happen. i don't think they want the general election will have two rich new york liberals. nominate a real conservative. >> in our conversation, cruz didn't specifically call for anyone to dropout, but the message was clear. cruz is not particularly well liked by colleagues in the senate, but in a twist he seemed to get reluctant back up from lindsey graham. they need to rally around ted cruz to stop donald trump. cruz said he would welcome the

support. >> more on the impact of super tuesday on the way in a little while. >> we have breaking news in the search for malaysia flight 370. investigators believe another piece of debris may have been found off the coast of africa. on the story this morning. >> it was discovered on a sand bank in the mozambique channel near madagascar. it could have been come from mh 370. the words no step are seen on the piece and it could have been in the water for one to two years. it was found boy an american m e search for mh-370 but the locations is significant. you may recall the first piece of confirmed debris from mh-370 washed ashore on the other side

of madagascar, on reunion island last july. the ocean currents would have carried this new piece to the african coast. it's thought it may be from the plane's tail section, the horizontal stabilizer. investigators in malaysia, australia and u.s. have looked at the photographs of the debris and sources close to the investigation tell nbc news it looks like a piece from a boeing 7777. boeing looking at the photographs but declining to comment. the mh-370 was a boeing 777, disappeared two years ago next week, and the search has been focused on a remote section in the indian ocean but they still have not found the remains of the planes. australian command center tells nbc news it's aware a piece was found off debris. arranging for a thorough

investigations. sources say engineers who looked at this debris say there's a good chance it came from mh-370. >> thank you. i know you'll keep an eye on it for us. thank you. >> it was raining here a little while. it moved through. >> our temperatures will start to drop. take a look at what it did down in alabama. strong storms moved through. this is jackson county. a little east of huntsville, labama. we're looking as they start to pick up the pieces. the good news is the worst is now done. well, we've got warm air and it has been a warm winter. warmest on record for over 20 spots from december 1st to february 29th, the northeast and new england, but look, it even goes as far west as minot, north dakota, and virginia. we've got temperatures dropping. 51 in new york city right now. by the time we get into this afternoon, it will be down into the 30s. those temperatures in the 20s making their way to the east.

>> yes. we've seen fog. elsewhere mostly clear visibility. now, in san jose, 51 degrees, 46 degrees in livermore and in oakland, 54 degrees. we are getting ready for rain tonight. the last dry day before the showers start to move in later on this evening, becoming more widespread for the morning commute and could linger in the afternoon, still with scattered show showers. we'll be keeping tabs on that and wet weather heading to friday and the weekend. let's get an idea what's happening on the roadways. cleared up nicely here at the express ray, in the last half hour haven't seen a problem here. 280 approaching 880, typical slowing and this might add some sl slowing. and 680 moving nicely down fremont, not a major problem. dumbarton bridge, moving westbound, your typical commute.

♪ 7:30 on this wednesday morning, march 2016. nice crowd in our little corner of rockefeller plaza. good morning to them. >> a lot of people this morning, of course, talking about politics. all those super tuesday results. donald trump dominated the republican side, winning seven states. marco rubio picked up his first victory, taking the minnesota caucus. bolstered by three victories of his own, ted cruz is calling on his rivals to drop out and let him go one-on-one against trump. >> so long as the field remains divided, donald trump's path to the nomination remains more likely.

and that would be a disaster for republicans. for conservatives and for the nation. >> over on the democratic side, hillary clinton added to her massive delegate lead. she won seven states, led by a strong showing in the south. during a rally last night, she started to look like a candidate looking ahead to the general election. >> the stakes in this election have never been higher. and the rhetoric we're hearing on the other side has never been lower. trying to divide america between us and them is wrong. and we're not going to let it work. >> meantime, bernie sanders won four states last night. he vowed to take his fight against clinton to the end, all the way to the convention. let's get more from peter alexander. good morning. >> reporter: hey, matt and

savannah, good morning to you. we want to break down some numbers from last night. these are some things that stuck out to us during nbc's exit polls. look at this when you consider how well he did among republicans without college degrees. he has a narrow advantage among those who have college degrees but among those who don't have a college degree, donald trump trounced his opponents last night, winning 54% of the vote. he still faces some challenges. this is from ted cruz's home state. the biggest prize last night in texas. 25% of voters in texas said that they were dissatisfied with donald trump. 25% said they were satisfied. 70% said they were dissatisfied with donald trump. let's flip over quickly to the democrats, if we can. hillary clinton with another strong showing last night. but to win this fall, she's going to sister have to bring t young democratic voters.

under the age of 30, hillary clinton won barely a third of them, among those between 30 and 59, she won 62%. those 60 years of age and older, 72% of them sided with hillary clinton. just a couple things to watch as we go forward. matt and savannah, back to you. >> thanks sflu in other news, royal caribbean's "anthem of the sea" arrived back in port in new jersey after its second ill-fated voyage in a month. those 4,000 passengers had their vacation cut short. >> reporter: passengers are coming off the vessel and are very angry. telling of honeymoons, vacations, anniversaries cut short. 160 are sick with the norovirus and that's leading to conflicting reports about why this vessel returned early.

it's happened again, another ill-fated voyage for one of the world's largest cruise ships. "anthem of the sea" cut short its trip because, royal caribbean said, storm forecast. >> i wanted to cry because you wait so long and pay so much money. >> reporter: is that the reason? reports say dozens of crew and passengers are sick with nor row virus. from onboard frustration, one passenger tweeting, no one to clean. staff in quarantine and told not to talk to the press. another tweeting, wish royal caribbean and rcl corp were honest about why we turned back. my honeymoon was cut short. but the cruise line tweeted, the norovirus didn't affect the decision to return. just a few weeks ago "anthem" sailed into a well forecast storm. hurricane-force winds, pounding

seas and angry passengers. >> i think 5,000 people lives at risk. >> reporter: this morning another trip to paradise cut short. royal caribbean is facing a negligence lawsuit from that last crews that came back early. royal caribbean says the suit is without merit and that it turned back this time because it was following its new storm avoidance policy that it put into place after that last incident in february. matt and savannah, back to you. >> janet in new jersey this morning. thank you. another case we've been following, erin andrews' $75 million civil trial is one step closer to going to the jury now after she took the stand for a second straight day. she faced some tough questions from defense attorneys. nbc morgan is at the courthouse in nashville. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. in fact, four new witnesses are scheduled to testify here in this courtroom today. that's as the defense scrambled

to make its defense as to why the marriott shouldn't get stuck with a $75 million tab. the jury in the erin andrews case will hear from more witnesses today, but the two days of emotional testimony from andrews herself likely made the biggest impact. she broke down in tears when talking about her boyfriend, hockey star jarrett stole. she described her new elaborate routine whenever she stays at a hotel. at check-in she asks for a different room from the one that was prebooked. she doesn't let anyone in her room deliver bags or food and sets her own booby trap to know if there were any intruders. >> i put a piece of paper down by the door so when i leave, if someone comes into the room, i can tell. >> reporter: andrews, however, was less forthcoming when questioned by the lawyer for the nashville marriott. >> i didn't understand that's how you asked it. >> i don't know.

>> can you repeat your question please? >> reporter: the defense trying to show she hasn't been seriously damaged by the secretly recorded viral video. >> you also got an endorsement for rebook. >> yes. >> florida orange juice? >> yes. >> reporter: the jury heard from an espn analyst. >> did you see anything from the events involved. >> no. >> reporter: andrews said monday the network gave her an interview. >> my boss at espn said before you go back on air for college football, you need to give a sit-down interview. developments in the case have been interpreted by some to mean that espn was unsupportive of erin andrews. nothing could be further from the truth. andrews says that video still haunts her. >> it will always be there. always a reminder. >> reporter: andrews says she'll number therapy for the rest of her life. soon a jury will learn how much

that pain is worth in dollars, if any. >> thank you. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> well, we're looking at a big change coming as far as the west coast. we've been talking about el nino. it's about to really fuel some wet weather in southern california. a couple of big storms off the pacific coast. we've had a big ridge much high pressure dominating, pushing the jet stream up to the north. that's kept much of california dry for the last month or so. but look out, that ridge breaks down. we're seeing all of the moisture stream down into central and southern california, especially saturday into sunday. we're looking for urban roadway flooding on the weekend, in the recent burn areas and rainfall that could equal 1 to 3 inches in southern california. as you get into northern california, upwards of of 7 inches of rain over the next ive it's the last dry day before that rain moves in. now, our temperatures are in the

mid-50s as you head out and seeing patchy fog in san francisco and the north bay. after that moves out we will have a beautiful day. 67 degrees in the peninsula. 73 in the east bay and south bay and we will start to see the rain moving in late tonight in the north bay as well as san francisco later on for the east bay and rest of the bay area. >> sav. >>. en? the shocking moment a toddler falls out of a moving van. that boy's emotional reunion with his family. first, the end of a record-setting advantage. american astronaut scott kelly's return to earth overnight, as he gets set to head home today.

that's when i started doing like 700 calories a day. >> reporter: that's right. while many first-year college students go on a diet of pizza and chicken wings, bo started eating between 600 and 700 calories a day, six days a week. >> what does 700 calories look like? >> breakfast would be an apple, banana, blueberries. lunch was 3 ounces of chicken and a cup of green beans. dinner would be the same amount of chicken, 3 ounces, aaparagus and maybe broccoli. >> reporter: bo got down to 160 pounds on his 6'4" frame. his family witnessed the changes each time he came home on break. >> it literally scared me. i could see his spine, vertebrae, his ribs. i've been in the mission field and i've been to africa, and i have not seen that kind of skinny except on a malnourished child. >> reporter: bo's father bruce

worried his son was seriously ill. >> i went back in my bedroom and i wept because i thought my son is dying right in front of me. he won't listen to me. >> i was miserable but i thought i looked good. the scary thing is, i thought i had weight still to lose. >> reporter: bo wouldn't listen to his dad but he began having doubts when his grandfather, a doctor, told him he needed help. that's where trainer justin came? >> how did he look? >> if you can imagine somebody that doesn't eat and all they do is exercise, that's what he looked like. >> looked sick. >> sick. >> reporter: justin gave bo workouts and a game plan to get healthy. >> you have to eat properly. if you're not planning out your nutrition, like you would plan out your finances, then you're going to fail. >> reporter: bo is 1 of 10 million american men who have eating disorders. >> because these illnesses are still very misunderstood as girls and women's issues, it's

that much harder for boys and men to reach out for help. because there is this stigma. >> reporter: bo's message to other guys struggling in silence, don't carry the weight all on your own. >> when you look in the mirror now, what do you see? >> now, i see someone that's happy. and healthy. really is having a great time. this is probably the happiest i've been in my life. >> reporter: for "today", craig melvin, nbc news. >> takes a lot of courage to tell that story, as well. >> it does. >> if you want to get a closer look at eating disorders and if you're looking for help, head to today.com. shifting gears, we have steals and deals. jill martin has big bargains. there is a handbag selling for like nothing. first, this is "today" on nbc.

two thursdays ago. this is "wait for it," and this is my current "hamilton" song. i go through one every couple of days. >> i love you went back a second time. we've all been fortunate enough to see it, but it's interesting how many friends i have who call, i'm in new york, can you get me tickets? i'm like, who -- >> no. >> the list of celebrities who are waiting. who haven't seen it. >> i got to go months and months ago with my dad. i took my parents. i didn't -- couldn't get one for christina, my wife. she hasn't seen it and heard me talk about it for six months. she's like, you need to take me. we finally got in. now the problem is my kids love the sound track so much, they're like, dad, can we go? i went on stubhub for fun yesterday, oh, my. >> they can see it or they go to college. i'm telling you. >> they're little kids. >> they'll appreciate it. >> i'm saying they have time to wait on the wait list for the tickets. the wait list is like four years.

sweet 16, lucy, you get to go. >> there you go. >> george, to 30, you get to go. >> and she's in a wheelchair. hi, how are you? >> oh, man. >> willie, it won't be "hamilton" then it'll be trump. >> nice segway. very nicely done. somebody has been out on the trail for a couple of weeks. big wins for donald trump and hillary clinton on super tuesday. the rest of the field staying strong, they'll be in the race they say for at least another couple weeks. let's start with the republicans. donald trump wins massachusetts, virginia, tennessee, alabama, georgia, arkansas, vermont. sweeping across the south and winning a couple others. up in the northeast as well. ted cruz, three wins, home state of texas. a lot of people thought he could pull it off. also oklahoma, neighboring state, and the alaska caucuses broke for ted cruz. marco rubio did win one first, his first win of this primary campaign, taking minnesota. here's how the delegate count stacks up. this is what matters in the end. trump with 292.

cruz with 188. 98 for marco rubio. the magic number to get a majority and take the nomination, 1,237. let's take a look at the democrats. big night for hillary clinton. she too had seven wins. virginia, tennessee, alabama, georgia, arkansas, texas and massachusetts. bernie sanders got vermont, oklahoma, minnesota and colorado also broke for him. the magic number for the democrats, 2,383 delegates. hillary clinton seems to be looking ahead. in many of the speeches she's made over the last couple weeks, but especially last night to a potential face-off with donald trump. >> we know we've got work to do. but that work, that work is not to make america great again. america never stopped being great. [ applause ]

we have to make america whole. i believe what we need in america today is more love and kindness. [ applause ] instead of building walls, we're going to break down barriers and build -- >> there's the core of her contrast with donald trump. love and kindness. we're going to wrap you up. this is not a confrontation. donald trump, celebrating in florida at his home mar-a-lago, setting his sights as well on a matchup with secretary clinton. >> make america great again is going to be much better than making america whole again. i am a unifier. once we get all of this finished, i'm going to go after one person. that's hillary clinton. >> we haven't talked about the staging of that event. a lot of people are saying -- >> but chris christie, boy, that's all anybody was talking about. >> he may have, if you look at social media traffic, he may have upstaged donald trump, in

the theater that was supposed to look like the east room of the white house. the vines and the leaves, it was trending, chris christie hostage. it's incredible. now, you have, on a more serious note, i believe six newspapers in new jersey calling on chris christie to resign. >> get back to new jersey and do your job instead of being out on the trail. >> fascinating. >> ted cruz is still fighting. did pretty well last night, winning three states. believes he is the conservative who can challenge donald trump. >> america shouldn't have a president whose words would make you embarrassed if your children repeated them. our president should make us all proud, should inspire hope in all of us. we can nominate a washington deal maker, profane and vulgar, who has the life-long pattern of using government power for personal gain.

or we can nominate a proven conservative who has fought consistently for working men and women. and to defend the constitution. >> kind of interesting about that, donald trump went first because he won. he was very gracious about ted cruz, anyway. he said, excellent win tonight for ted. congrats for him. he did a great job. >> took a shot at marco rubio. >> he went after rubio as he's been doing. marco rubio said despite the one win last night and overall in the primary, he's staying in the race and looking ahead to florida on march 15th. his home state. he believes if he wins there, it'll change everything. >> the party of lincoln and reagan and the presidency of the united states will never be held by a con artist. i will campaign as long as it takes and wherever it takes to ensure that i am the next president of the united states. >> he's got about 13 days now until that vote in florida on march the 15th. he's still trailing big in the

polls to donald trump, but it could change in the next two weeks. >> listen, super tuesday, when you look at the voters who decided late in many cases they sided with marco rubio. >> almost won virginia. >> some say john kasich kept him from winning. john kasich might say no, but in reality, he did close some of the gaps, so you do wonder if that last week of heated rhetoric that wasn't necessarily about policy, more personal back and forth with donald trump. in reality, as willie pointed out, he just has one win. >> yeah. >> reading some of this stuff, it looks like the super pacs are going to go after trump now. >> they are predicting millions now in florida alone will be spent on attack ads, going after trump, for the trump university, that lawsuit is still pending and other issues, including you heard ted cruz last night refer to some alleged secret recording

with the new york times off the record conversation that he's calling on donald trump to release -- tell the "times" to release the tapes. so if people think it's cooling down, it is not. >> they're going to do that in ohio, too. florida and ohio. >> it's like a superhero battle almost. like superman versus batman. speaking of which, tourists on the warner brother's studio tour got a little bit of a surprise when batman versus superman star, ben affleck, surprised them in the new bat mobile. >> the car you see behind me is going to be featured very heavily in "batman versus superman." ben affleck drove this around. who do you think would win, batman or superman? >> superman. >> batman. >> who do you think would win in a fight, batman or superman? >> superman. >> who said superman? >> unbelievable. >> how ya doing? >> everyone that said superman, change it to batman. >> are you real? >> i am real.

>> are you real? >> he's one of those animatronic dummies. i love it. >> hilarious. >> ben did it to announce the campaign to donate to charities for a chance to actually win a spin in the bat mobile. "batman versus superman" theaters march 25th. fan boys across america are all excited about this. >> the premiere says batman and superman really get into it, right? >> it's based on the frank miller trilogy. >> one has an ego out of control or something? >> well, it's a little bit more complicated than that. batman is tired of this super-powered alien who helps destroy the city in a big fight. batman decides to come out of retirement and go after him. >> wow. >> today's would you wednesday. before we go to would you wednesday, we have some business we have to tend to. >> what would that be? >> want to discuss it publicly or do you want to discuss it in

private? >> we're family here. >> we'll take it to the streets? >> what's happening? >> i've been on the road for the last -- >> you've been busy. >> -- 14, 21 days. >> working really hard. >> not to cry a river here, but i have had a double infection. i'm on my second batch of antibiotics. >> that's horrible. >> in charleston, willie knows, i had to go to the hospital, where i had two shots in the keister. >> that was like three. >> in the keister. >> do they make that noise? yeah. >> that's what it sounded like. i was very, very sick. couldn't get out of bed. so i'm on my last round of my antibiotics. thank you, dr. dave. >> coming out of it feeling good. >> i'm getting better. >> better? >> better. sunday, i am supposed to -- it was my idea, and i own it -- take the polar plunge in the city of chicago. >> you can't do that. you're not feeling well. don't do that. >> no. >> you can't do that. you might get ill.

madelyn. good to see you. >> good morning. >> let's start with bread. does eating bread make you gain weight? we asked the viewers and 55% of them believe that that is, in fact, a myth. more than half believe it's a myth. what say you? >> it is a myth. bread does not automatically cause you to gain weight. but what is important is the calories. if you get extra calories and excess bread, it's easy to consume, it'll promote weight gain, like any other calories. the kind of bread you'll choose is really important. >> we're talking about whole wheat versus whole grain. what's the difference? >> key word is whole. whole means when you take grains, it's not something you find in nature. it has to be processed somehow. the good way is to leave the good stuff that has a lot of fiber on the outside. that's whole. or process it and it disappears. look for whole wheat, whole grain. whole grain is something in addition to wheat. wheat isn't the only whole

grain. there's also corn, oats, all these things. >> okay. >> if you have white bread occasionally that looks like, it's okay. don't be fooled by anything that looks whole wheat. read the label. >> do you like whole grain over whole wheat? does it matter? >> depends on the flavor. whole wheat is great. if you don't like gluten, because that'll be in there. whole is the key word, whatever you choose. >> let's move on to milk. so many kinds now. the question we're posing is, is organic milk, does it have more nutrients than non-organic? our viewers said, 82% say, it's a myth. are they right? >> it is a myth. nutrient for nutrient, organic and traditional milk are the same. there are several differences. because people get confused, organic milk never had added hormones or antibiotics. this is true. conventional milk, few have added hormones. all milk has a cow growth

hormone. the thing that is important is when an animal is sick if they're on antibiotics, the milk is thrown away. it's government approved and safe to drink. they're the safe. >> whole milk, 2%, 1% and skim milk. >> do you like one over the other? >> it's best to stick with reduced fat or skim milk. dairy products, down regulating the fat is better. if you want whole milk, it's good for a treat in coffee or used to substitute for light cream. on day to day drinking, reduced fat 2% or skim is a good choice. >> to the do the almond milk an cashews give you an advantage? >> they are fortified the calcium and vitamin d through there's no protein. >> last question of the morning. brown eggs are healthier for you than white eggs, we asked the viewers.
