sugar they have. >> ten grams. 12 grams. 15 grams. >> 15 grams of sugar. the world health organization says 15 grams in a whole day for kids. that's the sugar content in this one packet of target market pantry chews. there's lonely eight or nine gummies so when i give tem to my kids they say i want two packs. >> exactly. then all of a sudden they've had 30 grams of sugar. very similar to giving them an entire packet of starburst which is an actual candy around 33 grams of sugar. >> reporter: sure enough the first four ingredients are similar. >> corn syrup, sure, fruit juice concentrate and hydrogenated oil. it's so confusing when it says organic. we've been told it's better but not when you're starting with sugar and not when it's the same as candy. >> target is currently phasing out the market pantry fruit flavored snack packages with
8:33 am
annie's says they are certified organic and don't contain artificial flavors, sin they haddic colors or high truck tuesday corn syrup. horizon says the same telling us they add natural flavors in the fruit snacks. the other brands we mentioned declined to comment. all right, becky is joining us now with more, so we know about the high sugar content but what about the like the vitamin, vitamin c that these snacks tout. >> they say you should get it but it's not that hard. three or four strawberries, boom, your kids got their rda of vitamin c. a quarter of an orange. if your kids eat any fruit they're probably getting their vitamin c. >> you don't need the chews for that. what about that whole shelf life thing where it's like you can keep it in the cupboard and throw it in your purse. you don't have to worry about it. >> as a parent you've got to have stuff on hand at all times to prevent looming meltdowns with energy crisi
8:34 am
sugar dropping so we all know this. but the good stuff, dried fruit. get your kids to eat it. get the unsweetened kind. this is a godsend. these are freeze dried fruits and sell them at costco. the only ingredient is fruit, sometimes citric acid but no added sugar and they will live forever in your car no matter the temperature. >> good. >> and tangerines. sailors went around the globe with these things. throw them in your purse. they'll last a month. >> in your purse? really. >> i've road tested this, amy, i'm telling you and they come in handy. >> so we've been talking about sugars. what about clamping down on fats and oils in our kids' snacks as well. >> that's important for us as adults but for kids, they need those fats. so trail mix is really great if you can get your kids going on it. of course, they're going to want the ones -- >> with the m&ms in it. the ones i want too. >> sav
8:35 am
>> thank you very much, becky. we appreciate it. over to you, george. we look ahead to tonight's finale of "american crime story: the people v. o.j. simpson," you know, that sarah paulson stars at marcia clark and sass lara said she embodies marsha claushg and sits down with deborah roberts to talk about it. >> the truth came out. toughen up, cochran. this is a smoker's lounge. day care is on the first floor. >> wow. sizzle. she's tough. >> she is a toughie. she is. >> did you change your feeling or your thinking about marcia clark in any way. >> i did. i really had a very particular image and picture of her, one i think most americans had which is she was stride dent, aggressive [ bleep ] for lack of an articulate way of putting it and the scripts themselves. i came to realize that was so, so far from the truth.
8:36 am
>> had a chance to meet her. you met her later on in the filmmaking. >> we were practically done when i met her. it was an incredibly painful time in her life to have it all brought back and in some form of entertainment. i think it was probably scary for her and i felt protective. >> did she apologize for the hair. >> she did, when she sat down she said, i just want to say sorry for the hair. i thought i'll take it. >> because had you to wear that wig. >> i wore four different wigs and were all varying versions of not very attractive. >> you say that you have not actually watched the series along with everybody else. >> no. >> but people are riveted. why do you think this is touching such a button. >> gosh, i think everyone was so obsessed during the trial. i don't know why it would be different now. >> what do you hope people will come away from the o.j. simpson series with? because you don't really make a judgment about guilt or
8:37 am
innocence. >> it's not really about that. what i hope they come away with is twofold. one that at the center of the story is the death of two innocent people and the circus this trial became really made that hard to see clearly but more than that or equal to that, you know, every player involved in the trial was a real person. a flesh and blood thinking, feeling person and so many of them were sort of treated almost like they were holograms like they weren't real people. didn't think about what johnnie cochran's personal struggles were or marcia clark's struggles were and left out of the story and i hope what you're able to see we're talking about real people whose lives were forever changed and most not for the better post this trial so i hope that's something people take away. >> gripping so many more than 0 years later. "american crime story: the people v. o.j. simpson" airs tonight on fx. now back to rob in boston. >> hey, george, so weird to have this much snow and the sun be this strong.

we are back now with award-winning actress and "the new york times" best-selling author and friend of "gma." cameron diaz. she's just written "the longevity book" encouraging women to embrace their age and look forward to life's many phases. i love calling them phases. >> phases. >> nice to see sfwlu good to see you. thank you. >> when last we saw you you were right here with a wonderful group of women. >> yes. >> talking about your body. your body book and it was such a great, smart conversation so now you get into aging. what inspired you to write the book. >> i think that, you know, as we get older, there are phases of life that we enter into and i was -- i was entering the phase of 40 and i started getting a lot of questions about, was i scared to turn 40, are you
8:44 am
afraid to turn 40. >> heck no. >> why is everybody -- why should i be afraid. >> beats the alternative. >> only one thing happening if you're not aging and it ain't so fun. if you're alive for me what i learned is that aging is really about living. you know, and so i feel very grateful that i actually get to turn another year older because not everybody does. not everybody gets to grow old and i realize that people were worried or they were afraid of aging because they just didn't understand it and i was like, what is aging? i don't even understand what it is. so i called up my writing partner sondra bark and said i have our next book. we're going to write about what happens to us on a cellular level as we age. she said, okay, perfect. we got this one. >> reading the research i was so impressed and traveled and did a lot of interviews and put on the journalism ha
8:45 am
well. there is a basic way of doing it and it's called -- it is, again, it's living and how well you live. you know, how well you take care of yourself. there's five pillars of well-being. it's good nutrition, good movement of the body, good night sleep which rest -- stress release, i know, stress release and meaningful connected loving relationships, those are the five pillars of well-being. that's just living every day. we all get up, eat, move our bodies, sleep at night. we try to release stress in some way during the day. and we try to be around the people that we love. >> yeah. >> and if we can learn what that -- the first book, "body book" was about taking care of your body. how do you do that if you don't know what's good and bad. how do you good for your body if you don't know what good is. >> now we do. >> this is the same thing with aging. how do you age well if you don't understand what that is so you have to inform yourself and what this book is for help women take responsibility for their
8:46 am
how they -- to look forward. aging is a decline. naturally that is what it is. it is a decline. and if you don't get ahead of that. if you don't know how -- what to expect and how to make sure that you get ahead of it then what happens is that you become sickly and old and broken instead of being full of life until the end of it. >> we are surrounded by beautiful and we're all aging women here. we have a couple who wanted to say something. bettyanne menza who is 54 says she is not feeling her best. tell us what you're feeling. >> yes, i definitely feel my age. i do go out with my kids that are in their 20s and i have fun with them and i have great pears at my house but i definitely see myself gaining weight and getting wrinkles but i try to exercise more and eating well. >> you know, the thing -- one of the research parts of the research that was really, really i thought was very interesting is that people who accept aging actually age better. you
8:47 am
more on to your life once you accept that you are aging. >> we can all do that, right? >> it's a way of once you embrace something it's a mind-set so the body follows the behind in anything so if you are accepting of it and people who were -- learn you could actually age well. a lot of people are afraid of aging so they're scared of it and don't do it well. if you know that you can do it well and learn how to do it and all those things are important then you can keep moving forward with a better mind-set and healthier body. >> monica is there. you're about to turn 60. >> i am. isn't this crazy. >> oh, yeah. >> somebody is owning it. >> i am owning it. i'm totally opening it and i feel better than i ever did and cameron, you're right. it's all about those five pillars and i'm doing exactly that. i'm embracing age going through menopause right now and i don't have any of the symptoms that most women go through because i
8:48 am
tissues and if you know how to release your emotion, good, bad or indifferent we can really feel the feelings and then just let them go. >> monica, you should write a book. >> i did. i did. it's called "how may i serve" actually. >> thank you for serving us with great positive attitude. >> thank you for inviting me here to share my experience. >> great to meet you. >> again, research shows that women going through menopause once they accept it and they're not afraid of the symptoms and that's another thing, knowing what the symptoms are, that they're coming at you helps you to deal with them better when they come and the women who accepted it and didn't stress about it as much went through less and shorter menopause symptoms. >> great tips. this book is fantastic. thank you for coming back. >> thank you. >> so good to see you. thank you. >> i'll keep you not afraid. you keep me not afraid. >> all right. >> talking about it ladies. >> absolutely.
