The placebo controlled experiment design can be helpful in this study. In order to determine the effect of caffeinated energy drink, the total of twenty athletes will volunteer to participate in it. All the participants will be divided into two groups; ten will drink caffeinated energy drink and other ten will ingest placebo (no caffeine content). The drinks will be served in an opaque bottle to avoid its identification and to make sure that player drink beverages in it entirely. Both the drinks will have same appearance, taste but different caffeine content. Each participate will be required to take part in two trials under the same experimental conditions and standards. The both trials should be performed at the same time of day to avoid the effect of circadian rhythms in the variable. For the study, the participants will ingest caffeinated energy drink according to their body mass and sixty minutes before their performance. The sixty minute timeframe will help the caffeine to absorb completely in the body. The next trial will take place after one week from the first trial as this time period will allow the caffeine to washout from the body. Sixty minutes after the consumption of caffeinated energy drink and placebo drink, their performance will be accessed to find out the outcomes of these drinks on the strength.…
Caffeine is a stimulant that leads to temporary alertness. Its purpose is both clear and highly effective. Caffeine can be found in many different available beverages, such as, coffee, tea, soda, and energy drinks of course. Many people do not recognize that caffeine can be toxic at certain dosages, and lead to very serious health risk. Tan-Li Hsu the author of “High on Caffeine: Regulating Energy Drinks” effectively argues the merit of providing warnings for caffeine content on all drink labels that has this highly addictive drug. The demand for the product is increasing all across the United States. Hsu shows the negative influences of caffeine on the everyday life of Americans, especially that of a teenagers. Hsu explains that since the introduction of Red Bull to the American market in 1997 the market has since skyrocketed. Hsu takes up a position alongside Dr. Griffiths and other authors of the John Hopkins study “that energy drink manufacturers should clearly indicate the amount of caffeine on labels and shift marketing efforts away from teenagers.”…
Energy Drinks target many teens and adults and are found to dangerous by the FDA with ingredients that damage the body and cause harmful side effects. Energy drinks are bad for your body, and the fake energy in them are extremely harmful. “Energy drinks are canned or bottled beverages sold in convenience stores, grocery stores, bars, and nightclubs in mixed drinks.”(Wong 1) They have a potential to affect your life.…
The popular demand for energy drinks have placed a certain focus on side effects of consuming these drinks when it comes to children and adolescents. The label reads that children should not consume it, but what defines the term children?…
Energy drinks have a lot in common with other popular drinks. All these drinks contain high amounts of sugar and caffeine. These drinks are consumed daily by millions of people, despite the caffeine and sugar content in the drinks. Many Americans have made a habit of getting together with friends or old acquaintances to drink coffee and catch up. The increasing number coffee shops prove that most Americans don’t have a problem with the distribution of coffee. In addition, sodas which also contain high amounts of sugar and caffeine are widely accepted. Some would even consider a person who throws a party without coke just cruel. Despite the…
Energy drinks are promoted as enhancing behavioural outcomes by reversing fatigue effects and consequently increasing alertness and endurance (Heckman, Sherry, & de Mejia, 2010). Ingredients may include caffeine, taurine, glucuronolactone, sugars, and other B vitamins and herbal extracts. Despite the range of constituents, researchers generally claim caffeine as the core ingredient responsible for the stimulatory effects of energy drinks (Reissig, Strain, & Griffiths, 2009). However, recent research has suggested a synergistic interplay between energy drink constituents, with greater performance benefits conferred by the whole beverage than expected from the caffeine content alone (Marczinski et al., 2011 and Scholey and Kennedy, 2004). For example, Scholey and Kennedy (2004) reported that energy drink consumption improved performance on ‘secondary memory’ and ‘attentional speed’ factors relative to placebo, with no significant improvement in performance following independent caffeine ingestion. However, Scholey and Kennedy (2004) note that independent caffeine effects may have been detected with increased power, particularly in light of the small sample size used in this exploratory study (N = 20).…
The four billion dollar Energy drink cooperation will never fall down because of the people who don’t care about the things they put in their body but they have been exposed of poisoning their consumers with ingredients that the Food and Drug Association will not even be let into red meat but are allowed in their drinks for the quick spike of energy. The best solution for people who have chronically…

All the caffeine in energy drinks can make them feel awake and make them drink a whole lot more. It can also give people problems sleeping. Mixing energy drinks and alcohol has been getting more and more popular. But now people are researching it and they’ve found that the mixed drinks are even more dangerous than regular alcohol. The reason for this is that the caffeine speeds up your body while alcohol slows it down. Thirteen studies between 1981 and 2016 shows that the drinks can lead to increased risk of falls, fighting and accidents. Energy drinks contain lots of caffeine, usually about 80mg in a 250ml can - the same as a mug of coffee. However, a 330ml can of classic Coca-Cola…
In recent years the consumption of energy drinks combined with alcohol has become popular for young adults in North America. Energy drinks are caffeinated beverages that intend to provide a burst of energy and/or enhance alertness. The principle active ingredients in energy drinks are caffeine, high doses of sugar (or a sugar substitute), they generally include B vitamins, an amino acid, and plant/herbal extracts. Alcohol is a highly addictive and most commonly abused drug in North America that can impair vision, speech, memory, concentration, and reaction times along with other things. These energy drinks being a stimulant combined with alcohol being a depressant, can make a deadly cocktail for many reasons.…
Energy drink has gained a lot of popularity since its debut. Consumption of energy drinks has been increasing dramatically in the last two decades, particularly amongst adolescents and young adults. Energy drinks are aggressively marketed with the claim that these products give an energy boost to improve physical and cognitive performance. However, studies supporting these claims are limited. In fact, several adverse health effects have been related to energy drink; this has raised the question of whether these beverages are safe. There have been several reports that showed adverse health effects associated with energy…

Have you ever asked yourself if energy drinks are good or bad for your health? Well, that question came to my mind and many more. I see energy drinks everywhere I go, and that makes me feel intrigued. I see them in commercials, movies, my work, and school. It looks like it is cool to drink them. I have a lot of friends that drink energy drinks every day. I don’t know the side effects, but what I know is that energy drinks became very popular in the U.S. That’s why I decided to interview professional nutritionists. First, I sent emails to three different nutritionists of Santa Rosa Junior College. All of them replied it my email; one of them had medical problems, so she wasn’t able to do it. The second one was Anne O’Donnell. She said that she would be happy to help me, and she sent me her office time. I told her that I am a student of the ESL program, and I had to do an interview about energy drink. I explained to her that it would be just ten questions, and would only take less than 30 minutes. She was able to be my interviewee, and she was very kind also. Anne O’Donnell is a nutritionist who teaches Consumer & Family Studies in Santa Rosa Junior College. I am so glad that she was the nutritionist that helped me with my interview.…
Energy drinks have become very popular amongst today’s youth. America’s youth has easy access to these dangerous drinks and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at this time does not regulate the amount of caffeine that is allowed into these beverages (Cool, 2011). These drinks contain high levels of caffeine and other herbs that have ill effects on ones heart, along with high sodium and sugar levels that can adversely affect ones overall health. The FDA on should regulate the allowable caffeine content in these drinks and energy drinks should be prohibited for children under the…
