Doctors add voice to energy drink worries


Numerous doctors in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island are raising concern over the various bad side effects of can carbonated energy drinks. The P.E.I Medical Society will be voting on Saturday to ban all energy drinks on the islands. Schools have been experiencing cases of children arriving to class in a highly agitated state. Many of these students have to be sent home because of nausea, vomitting, and hyperactivity. Many of the island's doctors are arguing the fact that the benefits of these drinks advertised by companies outweigh the negative side effects that come with taking those drinks. However, doctors cannot scientifically prove that these energy drinks are bad for children's health even with the various side effects that seemed to be linked to these drinks. 

I think that canned energy drinks are really bad for the body. These energy drinks are created by mixing different chemicals together which often are not the best for human health and I don't think that kids in elementary and highschool really need them anyway. I personally don't think there is any need for energy drink, people can get what they from the food they eat not from a can full of carbonated sugar.
