Nevertheless, it is undeniably true that energy drinks also gives a lot of negative effect in a long run.

1. Energy Drinks can Lead to Weight Gain
Majority of energy drinks are filled with sugars and sweeteners that cause weight gain. They are also a very high calorie drink.

I believe it is still implies to the kids under the age of 18. Energy drinks indeed should be banned for Malaysian under the age of 18 and below; considering that Malaysia are currently facing with the issue of obesity among kids.

Researchers from Action on Sugar are calling for strict limits on added sugars.
They argue that as the body can generate energy from food such as fruits, vegetables, pasta and rice, there is no need for additional sugar beyond this. For energy drinks contain a higher level of sugar intake, it is not an ideal drink for kids. Graham MacGregor, professor of cardiovascular medicine at Queen Mary University of London and chairman of Action on Sugar, said: "Children are being deceived into drinking large cans of this stuff, thinking they are going to improve their performance at school, during sports, or even on a night out.

Energy drinks should be banned for Malaysians under the age of 18 as energy drink gives a side effect to them.  Frequently containing high and unregulated amounts of caffeine, these drinks have been reported in association with serious adverse effects, especially in children, adolescents, and young adults with seizures, diabetes, cardiac abnormalities, or mood and behavioral disorders or those who take certain medications. Energy drinks have no therapeutic benefit, and many ingredients are understudied and not regulated. The known and unknown pharmacology of agents included in such drinks, combined with reports of toxicity, raises concern for potentially serious adverse effects in association with energy drink use.

Energy drinks do more than make kids hyper. High amounts of caffeine can cause uncomfortable side effects and even harm a child’s health. Side effects such as sleep disruption, increased anxiety, mood swings,abnormal heart rhythms and high blood pressure. Therefore, regularly consuming energy drinks puts the body in an elevated state of stress and affect children’s developing brains and cardiovascular systems.]]> 2022-05-11 15:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviabaretto21/Discussion/wish/2179678663 What are the arguments for and against taking energy drinks? nurulain_liyana_bi20 https://padlet.com/oliviabaretto21/Discussion/wish/2179818562 For:
1. There is insufficient evidence that it can have a negative impact on children's health.
2. Other drinks containing caffeine or sugar are not subject to the same regulations as energy drinks.
3. Teenagers consume more caffeine and sugar from other sources.

Against:
1. The effects of energy drinks on different age groups are unknown and may cause health problems.
2. Sugar consumption increases the risk of diabetes and obesity.
3. It is widely marketed to adolescents, despite their low tolerance for caffeine.]]> 2022-05-11 17:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviabaretto21/Discussion/wish/2179818562 In your opinion, should energy drinks be banned for Malaysians under the age of 18? nurulain_liyana_bi20 https://padlet.com/oliviabaretto21/Discussion/wish/2179824327 In my opinion, it seems that energy drinks are bad for the overall health of young people and should be prevented at all cost. However, banning only energy drinks will not solve the problem because there are drinks that contains higher caffeine and sugar in the market. According to Snowdown(2019), it is discrimination to only ban it alone because teenagers also mostly consumed caffeine and sugary drinks from other products rather than energy drinks. It is also possible the teenager will turn to other, potentially more dangerous beverages as a substitute, once energy drinks are illegal.
