Most of the energy drinks in the market contain caffeine which is lethal if overdose. The maximum daily dosages of caffeine are 400 mg and 100 mg for normal adult and child respectively. Besides, the additives such as guarana and taurine are added into those energy drinks. Guarana is a pant from Amazon which its seed contain two times of caffeine amount while taurine is a type of amino acid which is often used as a performance enhancer. Moreover, high amount of sugar are found in energy drinks which can lead to diabetes and obesity. The harmful ingredients in the energy drinks might influence the growth of the children.]]> 2020-06-10 03:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lindabb17110349/y03dtzd2p0mbegft/wish/619928816 Should energy drinks be banned for Malaysians under the age of 18 bb17160864 https://padlet.com/lindabb17110349/y03dtzd2p0mbegft/wish/621033264 For my opinion, energy drinks should be banned for Malaysians under the age of 18. This is because children and teenagers may not have the knowledge of what the ingredients are inside the energy drinks. Therefore, they might took more than one can of energy drinks and this is dangerous.]]> 2020-06-10 16:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lindabb17110349/y03dtzd2p0mbegft/wish/621033264 Exercise 2 D bb17160864 https://padlet.com/lindabb17110349/y03dtzd2p0mbegft/wish/621046043 1.

Should banned for Malaysia under age of 18? LindaBB17110349 https://padlet.com/lindabb17110349/y03dtzd2p0mbegft/wish/621321739 The argument for the energy drink is that since coffee, tea, soda and chocolate has no be worried to be sold to kid, then why should we single out energy drink. Yet, if the consumers have no consumer over the limit there will no caused to any health problems. Moreover, the drinks have help in some medical condition such as refreshness. So i don't think that energy drink should be banned in the market or in a country for the kids or young adult. 
Another argument against taking the drinks is because it contains a lot of sugar in the drink that might lead to obesity and diabetes. But if the consumer had been educated enough there will not be a problem to this argument. ]]> 2020-06-10 19:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lindabb17110349/y03dtzd2p0mbegft/wish/621321739
