Most adults don't drink that much coffee in a day. Because it can lead to physical problems like higher heart rate and blood pressure, even death, it should be controlled like other substances like alcohol and tobacco until someone is at least 18 years or older ]]> 2021-09-07 21:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1722982986 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1723884430 Energy drinks can have a hug effect on the body. althoughteenagers are more likely to buy energy frinks they do have a choice. also you should not mix energy drinks with any other subsances or other energy drinks.]]> 2021-09-08 05:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1723884430 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1723890156 you are spot on Kristun it can higher you heart rate. ]]> 2021-09-08 05:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1723890156 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1828343402 I myself do drink energy drinks. I can feel the increase in heart rate and energy. Although I don't think an age limit is required to buy a can of energy drink. From what I've seen the containers that hold the drinks have no warning labels! I think adding warning labels will be a good start and if needed an age limit could be added.]]> 2021-10-19 19:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1828343402 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1828347137 Yes I do agree with your last statement! Mixing energy drinks with other substances, such as alcohol, is very dangerous. ]]> 2021-10-19 19:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1828347137 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1857339721 I believe energy drinks should have an age restrictions. I think kids under at least 12 should have parent approval to drink one. I drink energy drinks, but I don't drink more than one a day when I do drink them because of the negative affects they could have on my body. I know this, but younger kids aren't as aware of what the chemicals can do to you. ]]> 2021-10-31 23:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1857339721 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1883400318 Energy drinks definitely shouldn't have age restrictions in place but should have warning labels for heart health and other things to let kids know what they're drinking. warning labels such as the ones found on alcohol and tobacco products.]]> 2021-11-11 06:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1883400318 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1932593154 Energy drinks should have an age restriction due to the very negative effects it can have on your body. The ingredients in energy drinks should not be something kids can consume. It is known for energy drinks to contain crazy amounts of caffeine which is known to be very addictive. ]]> 2021-12-07 02:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/1932593154 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2022401820 I think the first thing to do is make sure there are health labels. And Kids should be more aware of what their drinking. If that doesn't work then we should put age restrictions. Energy can be VERY bad. ]]> 2022-01-31 23:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2022401820 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2057481067 Amaya m]]> 2022-02-20 17:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2057481067 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2176073048 I think that energy drinks aren't that bad, I just think that people drink to much of them and to many at a time. I think that if people would relax on how many they drink then people wouldn't be so against them. But on the other and I know they aren't the best for you and they do have negative effects on us.]]> 2022-05-09 16:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2176073048 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2367538693 I believe energy drinks should have age restrictions, because most young people don't know how to have something in moderation. Because of this they could end up getting really sick or addicted to them. They ingredients in these drinks are also dangerous and should not be consumed everyday by teens.

Just because it tastes good doesn't mean that it isn't affecting, your bodies health. Energy drinks should have more health warning on its label to allow you to know what's getting put into your body.

I believe that energy drinks should be advertised as dangerous, and that knowledge of the consequences should be more widespread.]]> 2023-02-13 16:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2479890319 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2496353680 I don't think energy drinks are bad or should have any restrictions. Like anything, you should use it in moderation and not all the time, if you eat or drink something all day everyday you will have health problems. That being said i don't think people are using energy drinks right, you should not just drink them just because. I would only drink them if say i didn't get much sleep and i got a big day, or you get tired and need to finish something. That's why i think energy drinks should not have restrictions.]]> 2023-02-27 13:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2496353680 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2497065885 I don’t think energy drinks are much of a problem. When used in moderation they don’t really pose much more threat than a soda. If they want to restrict energy drinks, why not candy? How about soda and pastries? While I think sugar is the cause for most of our nation’s health problems, only targeting energy drinks seems like a double standard because they seem “scarier”. I feel the lawmakers are only looking into the rare cases like that of  Anais Fournier, instead of the millions of people that consume energy drinks and have no problems. Anything can kill you if you consume too much of it. I mean 20 apple cores will cause you to drop dead.]]> 2023-02-27 21:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2497065885 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2501782568 I think that a lot of teenagers have a problem with drinking too many energy drinks. This is dangerous for their health because it can have negative affects on their hearts. I don't think that there should be age restrictions put on energy drinks, but I do think that companies should inform people of the dangers of drinking too many. I think that there are times that an energy drink can be beneficial, but you have to be careful not to drink too much. I know people who drink 2-3 energy drinks a day, every day. This makes me worried about them and their health. However, you can't stop people from doing what they want to do. ]]> 2023-03-02 22:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/6iqgfuf2jw73pv4g/wish/2501782568
