Executive summary

There is no source in the provided set that documents a video of Bill Gates specifically mentioning "Sugarwise" in an interview; available reporting in the provided results covers Gates interviews on climate, philanthropy and other topics but does not mention Sugarwise or a video endorsement (available sources do not mention Sugarwise) [1] [2] [3].

1. What you asked and what the sources show

You asked whether there is video evidence of Bill Gates mentioning Sugarwise in an interview. The search results given include multiple Gates interviews and transcripts — CNBC’s October 28, 2025 interview (transcript and video links) [3] [1], CBS Mornings coverage from May 2025 [2], and other interviews (GeekWire, Interview magazine) [4] [5] — but none of these items reference Sugarwise or show a clip in which Gates says the word or endorses that brand; available sources do not mention Sugarwise [3] [1] [2] [4] [5].

2. What Sugarwise is — and why it matters that it’s not in these sources

The provided results do not include a description of Sugarwise, so the record here contains no primary reporting tying Gates to that product or certification; therefore we cannot confirm any claimed video or endorsement from these documents. Because the available items are substantive interviews (transcripts, video links and news write-ups) covering Gates’s views on climate, health and philanthropy, their silence about Sugarwise is notable: a genuine mention in mainstream interviews likely would have been captured by at least one of these outlets [3] [1] [2].

3. Examples of interviews in the set that do appear on video or transcript

CNBC published an exclusive transcript and video links of Gates on Squawk Box on October 28, 2025, with associated video pages listed by CNBC [3]. The same interview was summarized in reporting about his climate-strategy shift [1]. CBS News covered a May 9, 2025 CBS Mornings interview about Gates’s philanthropic plans and produced highlights [2]. These are concrete examples where video/transcript evidence exists for other claims — and none of these results include a Sugarwise mention [3] [1] [2].

4. Misinformation risk and common patterns to watch for

The absence of a Sugarwise mention in credible, widely circulated interview transcripts and news write-ups suggests two possibilities: either the claim of Gates mentioning Sugarwise is false, or it originated in a different, unindexed source not included here. The provided results also include an example of deepfake/false endorsements in scam reporting — sites using fabricated videos of Gates to push diabetes cures, where “none of these endorsements are real” [6]. That example shows a known pattern: bad actors pair celebrity likenesses with health-product claims and create phony video endorsements [6].

5. How to verify a claimed video mention going forward

If video evidence exists, it should appear in primary outlets that host or transcribe his interviews (CNBC, CBS, Wired, GeekWire, etc.) and be citable in mainstream reporting [3] [2] [7] [4]. For any specific clip: locate the original host’s video archive (e.g., CNBC video pages), confirm the timestamp and transcript, and check multiple reliable outlets for coverage. The sample search results show CNBC provided direct video links for a 2025 interview [3], demonstrating where such verification would normally appear.

6. Bottom line and limitations

Based only on the set of sources you provided, there is no documented video or transcript showing Bill Gates mentioning Sugarwise; the searched interviews and write-ups do not contain that claim (available sources do not mention Sugarwise) [3] [1] [2] [4]. This assessment is limited to the supplied documents: if a Sugarwise mention exists in a source not included here, it cannot be confirmed from these results.
