Red Bull Doesn't Actually Give You Wings. Oh, Canada!

For over 20 years, the popular energy drink used "Red Bull gives you wings" as its catchy slogan, but in 2014, Red Bull agreed to pay out more than thirteen million dollars after settling a U.S. class action lawsuit that accused the company of false advertising. Consumers believed (claimed) that the popular energy drink would actually give them wings, as advertised.

One energy drink consumer argued that after ten years of drinking Red Bull, he neither had wings nor any enhanced athletic or intellectual performance.

According to the suit, "Even though there is a lack of genuine scientific support for a claim that Red Bull branded energy drinks provide any more benefit to a consumer than a cup of coffee, the Red Bull defendants persistently and pervasively market their product as a superior source of 'energy' worthy of a premium price over a cup of coffee or other sources of caffeine."

Shortly thereafter, Canadian consumers followed suit. Plaintiff Michael Atter claimed that Red Bull made false declarations regarding the product's usefulness. Attar argued that the beverage company violated the Quebec Consumer Protection Act by claiming that Red Bull was more effective than a lower-priced offering, like a cup of coffee.

Red Bull again paid out a large settlement to unhappy Canadian consumers. According to Dished Vancouver, Red Bull GmbH paid around $640,000 in a class action settlement. Canadian consumers who bought Red Bull in the last twelve years may receive ten dollars from the settlement.

There is, of course, important law behind this, protecting consumers from false advertising. Unfortunately, silly cases like this can clog up the court system, and make light of the need to police against unlawful business practices.

The blood pressure-elevating effect of Red Bull energy drink is mimicked by caffeine but through different hemodynamic pathways - PubMed

The energy drink Red Bull (RB) has recently been shown to elevate resting blood pressure (BP) and double product (reflecting increased myocardial load). However, the extent to which these effects can be explained by the drink's caffeine and sugar content remains to be determined. We compared the car ...

Peer reviewed Paper: Article on cardiovascular effects in repsonse to red bull consumption

# data[].attributes.body
I found this article fascinating because of how they experimented using healthy people and water as a constant. The people who drank the water before the arithmetic test were unaffected but those who had drank the can of energy drink were effected so much that there was a rise on BPM, heart rate, stroke volume and cerebral blood flow velocity. This shows the short term effects that energy drinks have on a person but not the long term. If you can be effected this much over 5 minutes I would hate to see the long term effects of someone who consumes multiple cans a day. This is the reason as to why I added this to my lesson, being able to show students how dangerous something that is advertised as being helpful for your work ethic is important for their understanding and future plans.

The sale of energy drinks is often accompanied by a comprehensive and intense marketing with claims of benefits during periods of mental stress. As it has been shown that Red Bull negatively impacts human . Red Bull increased (+7 mm Hg), hemodynamics at rest, we investigated the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular consequences when Red Bull is combined with mental stress. In a randomized cross-over study, 20 young healthy humans ingested either 355 ml of a can Red Bull or water and underwent 80 minutes after the respective drink a mental arithmetic test for 5 minutes. Continuous cardiovascular and cerebrovascular recordings were performed for 20 minutes before and up to 90 minutes after drink ingestion. Measurements included beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP), heart rate, stroke volume, and cerebral systolic BP diastolic BP (+4 mm Hg), and heart rate (+7 beats/min), whereas water drinking had no significant effects. Cerebral blood flow velocity decreased more in response to Red Bull than to water (−9 vs −3 cm/s, p <0.005). Additional mental stress further increased both systolic BP and diastolic BP (+3 mm Hg, p <0.05) and heart rate (+13 beats/min, p <0.005) in response to Red Bull; similar increases were also observed after water ingestion. In combination, Red Bull and mental stress increased systolic BP by about 10 mm Hg, diastolic BP by 7 mm Hg, and heart rate by 20 beats/min and decreased cerebral blood flow velocity by −7 cm/s. In conclusion, the combination of Red Bull and mental stress impose a cumulative cardiovascular load and reduces cerebral blood flow even under a mental challenge. blood flow velocity

Methods

Twenty healthy young adults (10 women), aged 19 to 29 (22.1 ± 0.5) years, were recruited and paid for their participation. The mean height of the participants was 173.3 ± 2.0 cm, their body weight was 65.7 ± 2.4 kg, and their body mass index was 21.8 ± 0.6 kg m −2. None of the subjects had any diseases or were taking any medication affecting cardiovascular or autonomic regulation. Based on a questionnaire (daily intake of coffee, energy drinks, and other caffeinated beverages), the estimated

Results

Predrink hemodynamic values were similar between the drinks, whereas Red Bull elevated significantly systolic and diastolic BP, heart rate, cardiac output, double product, cerebrovascular resistance, and decreased cerebral blood flow velocity over the postdrink period (Table 1 and Supplementary Tables 1 and 2).

No significant interaction (drink × time) effects were found for any variable tested. Addition of mental stress 80 minutes after ingesting Red Bull increased systolic BP and diastolic BP

Discussion

This study examined the influence of a commonly available energy drink on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular parameters in response to a mental stress task in young and healthy humans using beat-to-beat measurement techniques. Our results presented here provide evidence that mental stress applied after the consumption of Red Bull led to a substantial augmentation of the heart's workload through elevations of BP, heart rate, and double product, which were accompanied by a sustained reduced

I was interested in how much open discussion impacted the students and their willingness to improve their attitudes. The importance of critical thinking is vital for students now and in society in the future. There is a need of activists in our society and if by introducing open discussion and allowing students to have their own voices heard helps, I will gladly do so.

Exercise consists of splitting the class in 4, assignment a topic and giving them time to research the topic. After said time is up, students are asked to to present to the class. This way students get to hear about three other topics and also practice speaking in class out loud.

Students will do the experiment about heart rate and pulse. This will keep students interested while also learning about science in a fun way.

Students were split into two groups and given an article each to read. This helps them with being literate and working well with others. They will get the chance to give their opinion on the piece being saying it was factual, fake news, bias, unbiased etc. This is incorporating the Nature of Science into the topic. Students then get the chance to watch an advertisement which integrates technology in the classroom.
