00:00So Labour are proposing to ban energy drinks for under-16s if they get into power. What do you think about that? Do you think it's a good idea?
00:10I think generally yes. I've got my own child who's 11 and it's made me, through having him, more aware of drinks and the kind of sugars and unhealthy additives that are in there.
00:24I think if you can try to prevent them in these early years, I think it's really good. I would support that.
00:33I think they're wrong because they can harm them. You take too many, it can make your heart, it affects your heart.
00:40So do you think it would be a good thing to ban them?
00:43Yeah, over 18. Make them over 18 because they seem to just knock them back.
00:50Every time you see them, they've got them in there. I wouldn't touch one. My heart couldn't take it.
