ESPN-The Caffeine Loaded Drinks Debate
This is a touchy topic for most teenagers. After watching the video answer the following questions. If you are not sure of the first question use examples from the video or look it up on the internet. If you answer yes to question number two, then you must answer question number three was well. Please construct one solid paragraph for each answer.
1. How
does the choice to use these energy drink products affect your health?
2. Should
kids (people under the age 18) be allowed to buy and consume energy drinks
after watching the video?
3. If
yes, should they be limited on the number they can buy/consume or is it up to
the person to limit themselves? Why?
Energy drinks affect me in little ways. I have AD/HD and sugar will have an opposite effect on me. When I have a monster or a different drink, I will start to slow down and get sleepy. How it will affect your heath will depend on you, if you have a heart disease then you should not drink it. If you drink more than 3 a day, then you are asking to have something happen to you. It’s your problem if you become additive, you should set your limits. Plus if you drink too much there a bigger chance to have type 2 diabetes
ReplyDeleteI believe that children should be able to buy and consume energy drinks, because they have a sense to have to not drink too much. If they do not listen to the waning on the can, and they get sick, then it’s their problem, not the energy drink. All the kids that has died, had heart disease and it said right on the can that you should not drink this.
Cons of the terrible evil energy drinks
ReplyDeleteEnergy drinks can cause irritability and anxiety which can lead to health risks. But there are other bad things about this sinister drink such as insomnia high blood pressure Osteoporosis heart diseases and ulcers. Caffeine has many side effects some of which I already mentioned. Caffeine can also cause other problems such as problems during pregnancy and miscarriage in pregnant women. Excessive use of energy drinks can cause dehydration. I think kids under the age of 18 should never ever be allowed to buy energy drinks due to all the bad health risks.
I think that if you choose to drink these energy drinks you’re putting these conditions in your own hands. Usually if there is a warning label on the can, you should know enough to not drink these. If you ask me I think that they are absolutely ridiculous. What energy drinks remind me of is cigarettes is because you are pretty much paying to kill yourself. Some of the common side effects are rapid heartbeat, nausea, rashes, hives, difficult breathing and many other effects.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching this video I believe that kids should not be allowed to buy and consume these products. The reason I believe this is because I’ve already experienced the minor side effects like a rapid heartbeat and a major headache, they are definitely not worth the risk. Another big reason I think they should be banned is because you never hear anything good that comes out of energy drinks. No matter how cool they make you look they should definitely not be consumed before a sporting event, because it will really put a lot of pressure on your heart. In the long run it’s going to take a toll on your body.
I believe it’s your choice to drink energy drinks and you should take responsibility for how much you consume therefore energy drinks should not become illegal. Although the nutrition label on these energy drinks are absolutely terrible, it’s the consumer’s choice to look at the nutrition facts on the back of the can. Energy drinks also have a warning sign on the can that tells people what could happen if you drink it, tells you the limit of how many cans to drink per day, and not to drink it if you have a disease.
ReplyDeleteYes, kids should be able to buy energy drinks. If they had an age limit on them, kids would think they can get you messed up such as alcohol. When people turn 21 they drink and party a lot, so if energy drinks have an age limit the kids could possible act the same way as the adults. I personally believe that the parents of these kids should monitor how much and when they drink these energy drinks, and even knowledge the child on the nutrition and what could happen to them when they drink the energy drink.
I think it doesn’t matter how much they buy because I bought a 20 pack of monster over spring break and I only drank a few. So I believe that it doesn’t matter how much they buy, but the parents should allow the child to either drink it or not and when the child is a young adult it becomes they’re responsibility of how much they drink and when they drink it.
