People under 16 should not be allowed to drink energy drinks

 Energy drinks taste good but you might not be so quick to agree when you find out how much damage they actually cause. 

 Energy drinks are highly addictive. If you drink lots of energy drinks or if you drink it regularly and you try to quit by just stopping drinking it your body won’t be used to not having all of the extra energy making you tired which then causes all of your organs to shut down. Unfortunately by drinking too much, you can end up with dental problems, weight gain and the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes.Plus if you have an addiction to energy drinks then you’ll be buying a lot of them which then means that you’ll be spending a lot more money.

Parents and teachers  raised concerns about the impact that energy drinks have on children and young people in the school environment. One teacher said: “It makes the students too hyper and makes it way harder to teach them”.  If kids are hyper it makes it a lot harder for them to focus in class because they’re wanting to walk around a lot more causing them to fall behind on class work resulting in them ending up not getting as high grades which then results in them being held back a year. Kids are much more argumentative and talk back a lot more causing more stress on parents, guardians and teachers.

Drinking energy drinks causes extreme sugar intake. It was reported by Diabetes UK that over 7,000 under 25’s have type 2 diabetes which they think is caused by energy drinks. One 500ml can of Monster Origin contains 55 grams of free sugars. Energy drinks are acidic, and

frequently consuming them can discolour your teeth and wear out your enamel over time. Causing you to get dental issues such as cavities. Sugar-free energy drinks still contain just as much caffeine as ones with sugar. Artificial sweeteners have also been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. 

Energy drinks taste good but do you really want a drink to be in control of your health, your relationships and so much more.

Thanks for listening have a good day bye
