Monster Energy Drinks
I collected my data, by asking all males students at Bellevue College. The idea to collected only males is because there is a stereo type that states that, younger student’s drinks more energy drink than older, which in this case I will find out if it is true. As an example; one bottle of Monster is about (16fl oz., 453ml) in my survey I asked, how many Monster energy drink do you consume on a weekly basis? One 20 years old student says that he consumes seven or more per week, which in this case he is consuming 1120 of caffeine per week days. As my understanding 1120mg is heavy daily caffeine and can cause a dangerous side effects. This is just caffeine no other chemicals that Monster energy drink have, also in the other hand, older students

    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.…

    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 consumption of alcohol mixed with energy drinks is a common drinking behavior on college campuses. Here are some premixed alcohol and energy drink products that are commonly consumed on campuses such as; Sparks, Rockstar 21, Tilt and Four Loko. Four Loko has five times the amount of calories than an average twelve-ounce beer at 660 calories per can. Alcoholic energy drinks have a higher concentration of alcohol by volume. Most of these drinks are between 10% and 12% alcohol by volume as compared to most beers that are 3% to 4% alcohol by volume. This could be a major health factor for the consumers of this product. It also leads up to obesity and heart related problems. Students would lose focus while being intoxicated, not focusing on their school work needed to graduate. Researchers have found that college students who use alcohol mixed with energy drinks tend to consume more alcohol and consume alcohol more often than those who do not combine alcohol with energy drinks (O'Brian et al., 2008; Thombs et al., 2010).…

    Have you ever been in a situation where you are tired, but you need to stay awake? Many people in this situation usually grab a can of Monster or maybe a Red Bull to keep them going. However, many people-a good majority are parents- say there are "dangerous side effects from consuming too many energy drinks at one time'' (Caffeine Informer).

    Dated back to the 1400s and possible earlier people have been drinking caffeine to include coffee, tea, and chocolate. Today, caffeine is one of Americans’ favorite substance also including the soft drinks and the energy drinks. Per Hart and Ksir (2015) by 2009 Americans were consuming less caffeine; 45 gallons of soft drinks and 23 gallons of coffee when compared with 49 gallons of bottled water per person. Although declining, soft drinks and coffee are still a major part of American’s caffeine consumption, “it is estimated that 80 percent of Americans regularly use caffeine in some form,” (Hart & Ksir, 2015, p. 261). But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not challenged its regulatory oversight on the caffeine use since the 1980s. Adults caffeine use is not of great concern by the FDA because there is no caffeine use disorder, the caffeine is responsible for long-term health benefits, and the caffeine is safe for most adults. Therefore, I consider the FDA current lack of restrictions on caffeine use sufficient and fair.…

    According to a research study done at the Villanova University of Student Life, “About 90 percent of Americans consume caffeine in one form or another every single day. More than half of all American adults consume more than 300 milligrams (mg) of caffeine every day, making it by far America's most popular drug” (Villanova para. 3). As a college student, who has dealt with problems for drinking caffeine and have done some research on this topic for a year, I have seen more negative impacts from consuming caffeine than positive ones. Today I will discuss the benefits of caffeine,…

    A study was done on some students in grades 8,10, and 12, and their use of caffeine. Thirty percent of the teenagers reported using energy drinks, as well as energy shots. The kids that consumed the most amount of caffeine, also had a much higher percentage of using drugs in the past thirty days. In the essay, a statement is used from researchers in Colorado, “Caffeine consumption during adolescence produced changes in the NAc that are evident in adulthood and may contribute to increases in cocaine-mediated behaviors.” There were several other links to studies that suggest that energy drinks should be considered a gateway drug and increase the chances of the user using illicit drugs. As well as an increased chance of using illicit drugs, an overindulgence of caffeine can lead the user to experience nervousness, sleeplessness, irritability, increased urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and…

    Billions of people all over the world consume caffeine, mainly in cups of coffee. Many of these same people consume caffeine on a daily basis. Is this constant consumption of caffeine hazardous to one’s health or is it positive to one’s health? These questions have been partially answered by many and are in the process of being fully answered by some. However, not all of these answers can be deemed as credible. There are a lot of misleading articles, web pages, and blogs that share their opinion on matters of health when realistically; they have no credibility in doing so. Just because someone is voicing his or her opinion on a subject, it does not mean that you have to listen to that voice because it may contain biases and be inaccurate.…
