dr. deb kennedy. >> so, dr. deb, a lot of teens start their day with a bowl of cereal. is that a healthy way to start the day? >> it can absolutely be a healthy way to star the day, but it depends what cereal you choose. so, you want to choose a cereal. four is your magic number. four grams of sugar equals one teaspoon of sugar, and there is no need for a cereal to be more than a teaspoon of sugar per cup. that is sweet enough. so, you want to look at the label, and on the label it's going to say sugars. and as long as the product doesn't have any milk or fruit in it, those sugars equal the added sugars in there most likely. but if it has milk or fruit in it, it also counts those types of sugars. so, labels can be really, really confusing. so, what i tell people also, as you look at the ingredient list -- if the first three ingredients has the word "sugar" in it or any of its impostors, like corn syrup, dextrose, barley malt -- there is about 25 different names for sugar. if any of the first three ingredients is sugar, put the box away, and no one will get hurt, okay? >

dr. deb kennedy about liquid sugar, starting with the number-one culprit -- soda. >> so, how much soda does the typical teen drink? >> well, the typical teen boy drinks two cans of soda a day and a girl about 1.4 cans a day. >> wow. >> and that's a lot of extra calories and sugar, because the typical soda has 10 teaspoons of sugar a day. >> wow. >> right? >> is that over the limit? >> that is totally over the limit. so, a boy can have 8 1/4 teaspoons a day, and a girl, 5 teaspoons a day. so, a teen girl -- her allotment of added sugar would be half a can of soda. so, it's really not that much. >> right, especially 'cause she's not gonna drink half a can and then throw it out. >> no. no. absolutely not. no. and when you look at where teens are getting most of their sugar, you're looking at it. it's all of these liquid -- we call them "liquid candy" in the business, right? it is your soda and your iced tea and your flavored milk and also your juice, as well. >> isn't juice better for you than soda? >> juice -- um, yes. juice is better for you than soda, and when you buy juice, you should look

kennedy. and we heard earlier during the evening that dr. king had been shot. but we didn't know his condition. we continued to organize and there was some debate whether robert kennedy should come in and speak. and some of us said he got to come and speak to the crowd. robert kennedy came in and he spoke. spoke from his heart, his guts, made this unbelievable statement. and announced that martin luther king jr. had been assassinated. it was a sad and dark hour for me and for us, for america. i just cried and cried. >> you can see more of my interview with john lewis next week as part of our special coverage of the 50th anniversary of the civil rights act. achieve it. ♪ driving rock/metal music stops ♪music resumes music stops ♪music resumes [announcer] purina pro plan's bioavailable formulas deliver optimal nutrient absorption.

dr. martin luther king just days after kennedy was assassinated. >> you know you have our support and backing >> it's just an impossible period. we've got a budget coming up. we've got nothing to do with, it's practically already made and we've got a civil rights bill that hasn't even passed the house and it's november and hubert humphrey told me yesterday everybody wanted to go home. we've got a tax bill that they haven't touched and we've just got to not let up on any of them and keep going. i guess they'll say i'm repudiated but i'm going to ask the congress wednesday to stay there to pass them all. they won't do it but we'll keep them there next year until they do and won't give up an inch. >> but his ability to hammer out deals in congress was key to getting a civil rights bill passed. for 57 days the civil rights act faced the longest filibuster in senate history. to get the 67 votes that were required then to break it, johnson needed help from the senate's 33 republicans. and to get their help, he needed to win over one man, their leader, edward dirksen. johnson told senator hubert hum

kennedy in 1960. no one knows which party dr. king belonged in.e robinson was a republican, because at that time, you know, black people were looking to see who represented the issues that best represented them. black people then started voting for the democratic party, because the democratic party listened, and adjudicated the issues that were important to them. >> watch the republicans vote, on voting rights, on opportunity, to make sure everybody has opportunity, education. just look at the votes. and you'll see that there is a difference between the democratic party and the republican party. >> the approaches to those issues, ray, are always different. >> not always. not always. i mean, sometimes they are, yes. but the reality is the problem exists, you're talking about a difference in how we approach it. but i think if you grow up in a community of color, no matter what your party is, there has to be something in you that makes you understand who we are and where we come from. >> great interviews there by toure. there's more on the website if
