Hi, my name is Isaac. I am new to the blogging world. I have made a website so that you can make an informed choice about Energy Drinks. I have chosen this topic because I realize that there are alot more teens that drink Energy Drinks than I thought. I made my website by talking to an expert, Kelly Spector--who is a Family and Nutrition Program Youth Advisor at the Purdue University Extension Office, over the dangers of Energy Drinks. Then, I gathered information off the web and combined all of it into one. As I was making my website I learned some mind blowing facts! First, I learned that the Energy Drink company bosses are rich! The Energy Drink industry makes approximately $5 billion dollars a year! I also learned that in 2012 the FDA investigated Monster for 5 deaths that led back to their company. As I researched more, I saw that Energy Drinks are “loaded with vitamins.” And they are right, they are jam packed with vitamins. The problem is, your body can only take so much vitamins in a day. Too many, can be harmful! Could you imagine popping 10-20 Flinstone vitamins in your mouth at once? Of course not, because it’s bad for you. Many Energy Drinks contain 8,000% more vitamins than your body can handle. These drinks are not designed to be sipped slowly like coffee or tea. Instead, teens chug or gulp them down; therefore the body doesn’t have time to absorb the process. I also learned that energy drinks actually do not help your athletics. It actually decreases your endurance and leaves you more dehydrated. Also, it is not a great idea to guzzle down an Energy Drink before a test or exam, because it could make you nervous or anxious, making it harder to concentrate.
