Anit-Energy


I was in the store today grocery shopping with my grandma and we were walking down the beverage aisle where they keep the cold drink in the coolers and something caught my eye. I have noticed this whenever I walk into the store and to the fact that is has been changed around and somethings that are new have been brought in and the old products that used to sell a lot are now off the shelves.


Hot product of the population now,that young kids seem to guzzle down with no knowledge of what they are putting into their bodies are energy drinks. That is what I see.
Honestly what ever happened to getting a good nights sleep to keep you going. Instead of something that is man made and packaged in a can. What is worse is that you see mostly kids drinking them down. Do they have any clue what is in store for them down along the road if they can't kick the habit.

"Health researchers have identified a surprising new predictor for risky behavior among teenagers and young adults: the energy drink.
Super-caffeinated energy drinks, with names like Red Bull, Monster, Full Throttle and Amp, have surged in popularity in the past decade. About a third of 12-to 24-year-olds say they regularly down energy drinks, which account for more than $3 billion in annual sales in the United States.
The trend has been the source of growing concern among health researchers and school officials. Around the country, the drinks have been linked with reports of nausea, abnormal heart rhythms and emergency room visits.

In Colorado Springs, several high school students last year became ill after drinking Spike Shooter, a high-caffeine drink, prompting the principal to ban the beverages. In March, four middle school students in Broward County, Fla., went to the emergency room with heart palpitations and sweating after drinking the energy beverage Redline. In Tigard, Ore., teachers this month sent parents e-mail alerting them that students who brought energy drinks to school were “literally drunk on a caffeine buzz or falling off a caffeine crash.”
New research suggests the drinks are associated with a health issue far more worrisome than the jittery effects of caffeine — risk taking. "

People may hear that men who consume energy drinks more then once a day starting out at a young age,will decrease their sperm count by 10 % or more.
Well the population now today has gotten a little large,if people want to lose the ability to reproduce and procreate then let them do so.

But I for one are not going to be one the many people in the world( Even though im a girl) who looses the ability to have kids. I know what is right and what is wrong to put into my body,but I don't think that someone needs some special drink to boost their mobility for the day.
