: Energy Drinks Are Bad : To persuade : To persuade my audience that energy drinks are bad. : Energy drinks causes a lot of health problems.

INTRODUCTION They are sweet, they are sugary and they are designed to give you that all-important pick-me-up when you’re running on empty. They can boost your energy for a while when you need it. They are energy drinks. A. A soft drink containing a high percentage of sugar, caffeine, or another stimulant, typically consumed during or after sporting activity or as a way of overcoming tiredness. B. An energy drink is a type of drink containing sugar and stimulant compounds, usually caffeine, which is marketed as providing mental and physical stimulation . According to research that I have made on this issue, researchers note that a moderate intake of up to 400 mg per day for adults is considered safe. A. The health implications can get serious when you start to take a lot of energy drinks in a day.

B. Based on Caroline Blackmore, Nutritionist at Cinnamon Bridge the intense sweetness of energy drinks causes blood sugar levels to spike, triggering the pancreas to produce insulin. She added that at first, you’ll have a ‘high’ from the sugar for about an hour, but afterwards you’ll feel a sudden drop in energy after absorption, leaving you feeling even more tired and fatigued. Most of the people think that energy drinks are good. It is good but become dangerously bad when we ignore the effect of taking it a lot. A. Energy drinks are bad because too many energy drinks can lead to severe headaches from the caffeine withdrawal symptoms. B. Although energy drinks are good at making us awake , but when abused, they can cause some people to miss sleep altogether which are bad. C. Besides that , health problem would be most likely the biggest problem that we will have that caused by energy drinks. So today, I would like to persuade that energy drinks are not as healthy as we use to know because they are not only give us energy, but as well as health problems.

BODY I.

To all my audience, let me share some knowledge about the disadvantages of energy drinks. A. The caffeine content in energy drinks can be as high as 300 milligrams per serving which can give us health problems. 1. Caffeine at these levels could cause headache, insomnia, nervousness and a rapid heartbeat. 2. Too much caffeine from energy drinks causes some people to shake and be anxious. This can interfere with performing needed tasks or cause emotional issues. 3. Moreover , some side effects from consuming excessive caffeine include arrhythmia, vomiting, seizures, disrupted sleep patterns and increased blood pressure. 4. In addition, for more serious cases, the high content of caffeine can eventually wear out the the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, which leads to Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a longterm metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. 5. Not all person can drink the energy drink. For people that have allergic reaction, they might have allergies when drinking energy drink because of the various ingredients such as taurine and guarana contain in the drink.

B. Besides that , people can become addicted to energy drinks. 1. They are actually addicted to the substance called caffeine , which are the main ingredient for the energy drinks. 2. When we are addicted, this can lead to a lack of functioning when unable to have the energy drink. 3. So what will happened next? The strong feeling of not getting what we want will make us rage. We will not thinking straight and lose focus. In the end, we will become stress and no process in doing the task given. 4. Addiction is a serious problem where it can make problems for our life. For an example, a financial stress can occur from having to buy several energy drinks daily because of the addiction toward energy drinks. C.

We as valuable and sane humans must not mix alcohol with energy drink because the effect a very dangerous that can fully harm our body. 1. The alcohol slows down your heart rate, whilst the energy drink speeds it up, creating an imbalance which causes your heart to go into overdrive. This increases the risk of cardiac arrest.

2. Furthermore, the combination also means users do not feel the impact of usual intoxication – which can lead to the increase in criminal offences such as drink driving. 3. We will become a wide awake drunk. What is a wide awake drunk? While alcohol works as a central nervous system depressant, slowing down brain and motor activity, the caffeine and other ingredients in energy drinks work as a stimulant. The stimulant effects of an energy drink will counteract the sedative nature of alcohol, tricking users into feeling more awake and less drunk than they really are. This effect is referred by researchers as wide-awake drunk.

D. Other than that, women that plan to get pregnant must avoid taking energy drinks.

1. For instance, according research made by Gaskins AJ Department of Nutrition, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, women who consume more caffeine than 400 mg/day are more likely to abort spontaneously than women who consume less than 50 mg/day. This is because the caffeine contain in energy drinks are almost 400mg are too much for a pregnant women.

2. Next , when consumed during pregnancy, caffeine can interfere with the brain development of the fetus and thus cause lasting cognitive impairment. It doesn’t help that being pregnant alters caffeine metabolism in a way that increases caffeine’s half-life and, consequently, increases fetal exposure. So its better for the women to monitor their intake on caffeine before unexpected thing happen to their baby. E. Last but not least, energy drinks can affect children as well.

1. As for children , due to their small size, they have a lower safety threshold for many of the ingredients in energy drinks. Their immunity system are not as great as an adult because the different between the consumption of an adult and a children are too great. Thus, their immunity will be weak and will make them sick. 2. It has been recommended that kids limit their daily caffeine intake to be less than 2.5 mg per kilogram of body weight based on Ruxton CH1, from Nutrition Communications, Cupar, UK.

(Transition: “How can we reduce energy drinks danger?”

II.

There are few ways to weaken the danger of energy drink so that the production of it are better for consumption. A. It can be done by recommending suggestion to the government. 1. One of them is establishing an upper caffeine limit on the products. It is for our own health so that if we drink the energy drinks the bad effect of the drink can be lowered. 2. Besides that, researchers must continue to find the bad effect of energy drinks so that there will be solution to produce energy drinks without bringing harm to the consumers.

CONCLUSION I. As a conclusion , energy drinks are not as good as we all think. II. A lot of health diseases that can ruin our healthy body by excessively drinking energy drinks. III. We as a student must not take too much energy drink where it can disturb our academic by health problems or addiction. IV. Stop consuming too much energy drink. We can consume the energy drink but never ever drink a lot of energy drinks in a day.
