Energy drinks is now flooding the market. What is in it that attracts consumers to buy them? The bad thing about this is that more and more of our kids are becoming hooked on this drink.
So what does energy drink do to your body? One 14-year old kid said that it hypes her up. You can call it a buzz in a bottle which is the new high-dose sugary caffeine drink of the younger crowd. Many of these energy drinks double or triple the amount of caffeine in a traditional can of soda. The same can be said for the gourmet coffee confections which are loaded sugar and calories. As you consume these energy drinks, you get hooked because of the caffeine in it which is an addictive compound. All these caffeine may have serious effect on the bodies of growing up children starting with dehydration because all they drink is this.
