These
days, energy drinks are gaining huge popularity among teens. They
are known to help you stay awake and alert. However,
these drinks contain too much caffeine. So, are they really
helpful? Here, Sam and Molly are talking about the topic.
Sam: Are you ready for today¡¯s test?
Molly: I guess so. At least I studied all through the night!
Sam: You didn¡¯t sleep at all? Then, you
must be very tired.
Molly: Well, I¡¯m OK because I drank a lot of energy drinks
to keep me awake.
Sam: Hey, that¡¯s not good for your health.
In fact, energy drinks contain high levels of sugar and caffeine.
Molly: My mom won¡¯t let me drink coffee,
so I chose to drink energy drinks
instead.
Sam:
I heard that these drinks contain more caffeine than coffee or green
tea.
Molly: Really? But is caffeine really
bad for me?
Sam: If you drink too much caffeine,
you can¡¯t grow taller. According to
doctors, an increased level of caffeine
in the body can also lead to stomach problems, panic attacks, and anxiety.
Molly: Ah, maybe that is why my heart
is beating so quickly. I feel
a little dizzy, too.
Sam: Also, caffeine can make your bones
weak and stunt your growth. If you want to grow
taller, stop drinking energy drinks. Besides, experts say that these drinks
don¡¯t really help you concentrate on your studies.
Molly: Then, I will stop drinking energy
drinks. |
