The paper topic:

The negative impact of energy drinks



Introduction:

tests in school and assignments in classes, many times students feel in  need of extra energy in order to burn the mid night oil and work on their homework assignments in order to perform well in their classes. Therefore, in the last few years students have found energy drinks as an option to keep them awake and be able to spend more time doing assignments without falling asleep or feeling tired. However, recent research has shown that energy drinks can have a negative impact in life. Energy drinks can be extremely harmful for one’s life since they contain high contents of sugar and caffeine.

Thesis Statement:

consumption of energy drinks can affect people’s health; among the most common effects that can be mentioned are irregular heart beatings, high blood pressure, anxiety, and irritability among others.

Paragraph:

The paper is mostly about how energy drinks can be helpful for us, and especially about how energy drinks are harmful for people's health, bodies, and brains. Even more, media advertisement and claims of performance improvement and marketing developed by the energy drink manufactures, there have been current research that support the consumption of energy drinks. However, the paper focuses on how those drinks affects students education life's because students are more eligible to drink it more than regular people. 

Conclusion:

Overall, since these drinks appeared in the market, they have had a greatly acceptance by consumers. Their sweet flavor and its appearing stimulation effect that gives a boost of energy, have gained popularity among those college students who are in search of a little bit of extra energy to face their schedule full of duties and assignments to be performed. However, even though all the information that is advertised on media may sound appealing to you, and specifically addressing you, you need to know that all what is said it is not necessary true. Therefore, it is necessary to make students know the truth behind these drinks. Regional actions can be taken, such as the informative campaign suggested in this paper in colleges and it can be even expanded to high schools levels, since those are the main target of energy drink companies.
