Caffeine presentation
This document discusses caffeine, including its history, sources, mechanism of action, metabolism, extraction processes, health benefits, risks, and decaffeination. Caffeine is a natural stimulant found in coffee, tea, soft drinks and energy drinks. It acts as an antagonist to adenosine receptors in the brain, increasing neuronal activity. While caffeine has potential benefits like reducing Alzheimer's risk, it can also increase heart rate and blood pressure. The document examines studies on both the positive and negative health effects of caffeine consumption.
Assignment 3 data logging
This document describes an experiment conducted to study the effects of caffeine on heart rate. Three students measured their resting heart rate and then consumed either a caffeinated beverage (Coca-Cola) or non-caffeinated beverage (apple juice). They recorded their heart rate every 5 minutes and found that the caffeinated drink caused a greater increase in heart rate compared to the non-caffeinated drink, with peaks occurring around 9-17 minutes after consumption and returning to resting rate around 23 minutes. The results support the hypothesis that caffeine consumption increases heart rate.

Three students measured their resting heart rate and then consumed either a caffeinated beverage (Coca-Cola) or non-caffeinated beverage (apple juice). They recorded their heart rate every 5 minutes and found that the caffeinated drink caused a significant increase in heart rate compared to the non-caffeinated drink, with peaks occurring around 9-17 minutes after consumption and returning to resting rate around 23 minutes. The results support the hypothesis that caffeine consumption increases heart rate.
Beverage
The document discusses the health issues with various beverages that children consume and provides tips for parents. It notes that drinks like sports drinks, energy drinks, fruit juices and sodas contain high amounts of sugar and additives that are unhealthy and can damage teeth enamel. While fruit juice may seem healthy, it lacks fiber and contains a lot of sugar. The document recommends that parents limit fruit juice intake, give children mainly water to drink, and lead by example in making healthy beverage choices.

- To understand consumer preference and their consuming habits
- To analyze the market opportunities and drawbacks
• Analysis & Recommendations
Energy drink powerpoint
This document summarizes research on the effects of energy drinks on adolescents and young adults. It finds that energy drinks are popular among this group due to aggressive marketing targeting them. The main ingredients in energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster are caffeine, guarana, taurine, sugar, and bitter orange, which can have adverse effects in large amounts like nausea, anxiety, and hypertension. Studies show energy drinks may improve driving performance and reduce sleepiness if consumed before exercise, but more research is still needed on their safety and effects, especially on adolescents and young adults.
The Jolting Truth About Energy Drinks
Energy drinks are a popular but potentially dangerous beverage, especially for teenagers and young adults. They contain large amounts of caffeine, often more than 5 cans of soda. High caffeine intake can cause negative side effects like increased heart rate, nausea, anxiety, and insomnia. Additionally, energy drinks are often mixed with alcohol, increasing health risks. While some claim benefits in small doses, there is no evidence that common added ingredients like taurine provide benefits. Overall, energy drinks are not well regulated and pose health risks that other beverages like water, milk, or juice do not.

There is abundant evidence that drinking coffee is good for you? But how much coffee should you drink to obtain the various benefits that coffee offers? Bloomberg Business weighs in on this issue with an article entitled How to
Transform Your Coffee into a Wonder Drug.
Coffee lovers of the world know that their morning cup contains a substance to be reckoned with. Caffeine is so effective at juicing our energy and productivity that until 2004, its intake was restricted by the International Olympic Committee. But the original performance-enhancing drug doesn't just provide a jolt to athletes.
But while caffeine is best known for its ability to keep us awake and alert-more than a few of you are likely reading this piece with a cup of coffee in one hand-research suggests it can sharpen performance across an astonishing range of tasks. As with most things, though, it's easy to overdo it and negate those positive effects. Here’s how, and when, to dose yourself with coffee just right.
It turns out that coffee works better if you are not tired! It has to do with brain chemistry. And if you want to improve longer term memory over a 24 hour period, drink coffee. This particular info comes from a study published in Nature Neuroscience regarding caffeine and memory consolidation in humans.
It is currently not known whether caffeine has an enhancing effect on long-term memory in humans. We used post-study caffeine administration to test its effect on memory consolidation using a behavioral discrimination task. Caffeine enhanced performance 24 h after administration according to an inverted U-shaped dose-response curve; this effect was specific to consolidation and not retrieval. We conclude that caffeine enhanced consolidation of long-term memories in humans.

Do Energy Drinks Really Provide a Source of Energy?
by
Merle Heidemann, Division of Science and Mathematics Education, Michigan State University
Gerald Urquhart, Lyman Briggs School of Science, Michigan State University
Objectives
• Describe and categorize chemically the components of various popular “energy drinks.”
• Determine the physiological role of these components in the human body.
• Explain scientifically how the marketing claims for these drinks are supported (or not).
• Determine under what conditions each of the “energy drinks” might be useful to the consumer.
The Case
After spending several years working the Sport’s Desk of the Lansing State Journal, Rhonda had landed the job of her
dreams as a writer for Runners’ World magazine. Te job was fantastic! Since high school, where she had excelled in
cross country, Rhonda had been a consistent runner, participating in local races and those assigned to her for her job.
For her last assignment, she had run and reported on the Leadwood, South Dakota, marathon—it was a blast!
As if reading her mind, her boss Charley walked in just then with a can of XS Citrus Blast® in one hand and a list of
several other energy drinks in the other.
“We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about the different energy drinks on the market, including XS Citrus Blast®.
Do you know anything about them?” Charley asked.
“I know that people use them for various reasons,” replied Rhonda. “It seems they’re primarily used by athletes
to provide some ‘fuel’ as they practice and compete. Other people use them more casually as a way to become
‘energized.’ Tat’s about all I know.”
“Tat seems to be about all any of us knows,” Charley said.
“For your next assignment,” Charley continued, “I want you to find out what each of the ingredients in these drinks
is and what it does for a runner or for a non-athlete. You need to be very accurate in your analysis—determine
what each component really does for the body, not what the marketers want you to believe it does. Ten look at
the marketing claims of some of these drinks and see if the scientific facts match up to them. Many of our readers
are using these drinks with some general notion that they’re helpful, but they’re basing their use of them on no
scientific information. I’ve got the marketing claims, a list of ingredients and nutrition facts provided on the cans for
consumers, and a short list of questions that should get you started. When you research these, be sure to document
all your sources of information, keeping in mind that all resources are not equal. Here’s the information.”

Coke vs Pepsi Challenge
This document summarizes a study comparing preferences for Coke and Pepsi. It provides details on the study's methodology, including administering blind taste tests of Coke and Pepsi to students at a university. The results found that while most students initially preferred Coke, after the taste test more identified Pepsi as their preference. Literature on branding and neural responses to familiar brands is also reviewed. Statistical analysis found some differences in preferences before and after the taste test, but no differences based on demographics. Limitations of the study including its location and sample are also outlined.

Dangers of energy drinks
Energy drinks were first marketed in the early 20th century and gained popularity in the 1980s. They are now one of the fastest growing beverage markets, appealing mainly to those under 35. While manufacturers promote benefits of energy and masculinity, research has linked energy drinks to health risks like increased heart rate and blood pressure. Multiple cases of illness and death, especially in young people, have been reported from energy drink consumption.
Estimation of chemicals in Soft drinks
Many youngsters today are addicted to the cool refreshing beverages, the soft drinks. Recently, Soft drink brands have been put into various questions regarding their purity. News flashed that they contain harmful pesticide, which aroused our interest in knowing its contents because we have been drinking them for so many years. We wanted to confirm whether the accusations on the major soft drink brands are true or not. Hence we took up this project.
High energy drinks
This document summarizes two studies on the effects of energy drinks and caffeine on athletic performance. The first study found that consuming Red Bull raised heart rate and lactate levels during exercise but saw no difference in repeated anaerobic cycling performance compared to a placebo. The second study found no significant difference in agility or anaerobic power between caffeine and placebo trials. Both studies suggest athletes should be cautious of relying on energy drinks or caffeine solely for performance enhancement.
Energy Drinks and Teens
A clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics warns that energy drinks, sports drinks, and any drinks with caffeine should be avoided by children and teenagers. Energy drinks typically contain caffeine and other stimulants which can lead to health issues like caffeine toxicity. A teenager died after drinking two 24 oz energy drinks. While the FDA regulates caffeine in soft drinks, there are no regulations for energy drinks which are classified as dietary supplements despite some having very high caffeine levels equivalent to several cups of coffee. The document provides healthier alternatives to energy drinks like getting enough sleep, staying hydrated with water, and consuming protein shakes or green tea.
soft drinks disadvantages
This document discusses the health impacts of soft drinks. It begins by introducing the topic and popularity of soft drinks before examining both the potential benefits and health hazards of consumption. Specific health hazards covered include links to mental health issues, weight gain, effects on digestive and renal systems, and risks for pregnant women. The document then considers diet soda as an alternative before presenting healthier options. Statistical analysis and surveys on consumption are mentioned. The conclusion recommends avoiding soft drinks and switching to healthier beverages for overall wellness.
Prelim(2)(4)
The document summarizes a student project that aims to test different fruits as potential sources of electricity. The team hypothesized that fruits with pH levels further from 7 would generate higher voltages. They tested 20 fruits and recorded each fruit's pH level and voltage. Most fruits generated voltages between 0.8-1V. Strawberries had the highest voltage of 1V while watermelon and lemons were on the lower end. Through this experiment, the students learned about laboratory protocols and safety, as well as the importance of teamwork and compromise.
Aqua Squad's Mission Folder
The team conducted experiments to test the quality and taste of their school's tap water compared to bottled water. In a survey, most teachers and staff said they avoided the school water due to concerns about cleanliness or taste. The team tested for contaminants and taste to see if these concerns were valid. They found that while the tap water did not contain bacteria, it had higher nitrate levels than allowed. A blind taste test found that refrigerated bottled water tasted best, while one fountain tasted worst, but refrigerated tap water was similar to unrefrigerated bottled water. The results suggest students could save money by drinking refrigerated tap water instead of bottled water.

Coffee Feature
This document discusses caffeine consumption and provides information about the amount of caffeine in various foods and drinks. It notes that the general consensus is to stay below 400mg of caffeine per day. However, it can be difficult to track total caffeine intake, as many foods and drinks contain caffeine but do not list the amounts. While caffeine has some potential health benefits, there are also risks from consuming too much, such as anxiety, sleep issues, and caffeine dependence or addiction. The document advises moderating caffeine intake and paying attention to individual tolerance levels.
Unit2essay-Australian Animal Adaptation
Native Australian species such as marsupials and monotremes flourished due to Australia's geographic isolation which allowed them to evolve without competition from other land animals. Marsupials like kangaroos and wombats thrive through easy to access diets and protection in pouches, while monotremes such as echidnas and platypuses lay their eggs in protective aquatic or burrow environments. However, introduced species like rabbits and foxes have driven the decline of native species by outcompeting them for resources as they lacked natural predators in Australia. Both native and introduced species have adapted to the Australian environment through traits like herbivorous diets, burrowing, camouflage or defense mechanisms.
Unit1 essay-DEEP SEA CREATURES
Deep sea creatures like giant squid, zombie worms, jellyfish, and yeti crabs thrive in extreme environments that are too hot, cold, deep, and dark for most organisms. These environments include near hydrothermal vents with temperatures over 700 degrees Fahrenheit and depths over 7,200 feet below the ocean surface. Despite facing these challenging conditions, the creatures have unique adaptations that allow them to survive, such as specialized body structures, bioluminescence, and symbiotic relationships with bacteria. Their adaptations demonstrate how life can persist even in some of the most extreme ocean habitats on Earth.

dreams as a writer for Runners’ World magazine. Te job was fantastic! Since high school, where she had excelled in
cross country, Rhonda had been a consistent runner, participating in local races and those assigned to her for her job.
For her last assignment, she had run and reported on the Leadwood, South Dakota, marathon—it was a blast!
As if reading her mind, her boss Charley walked in just then with a can of XS Citrus Blast® in one hand and a list of
several other energy drinks in the other.
“We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about the different energy drinks on the market, including XS Citrus Blast®.
Do you know anything about them?” Charley asked.
“I know that people use them for various reasons,” replied Rhonda. “It seems they’re primarily used by athletes
to provide some ‘fuel’ as they practice and compete. Other people use them more casually as a way to become
‘energized.’ Tat’s about all I know.”
“Tat seems to be about all any of us knows,” Charley said.
“For your next assignment,” Charley continued, “I want you to find out what each of the ingredients in these drinks
is and what it does for a runner or for a non-athlete. You need to be very accurate in your analysis—determine
what each component really does for the body, not what the marketers want you to believe it does. Ten look at
the marketing claims of some of these drinks and see if the scientific facts match up to them. Many of our readers
are using these drinks with some general notion that they’re helpful, but they’re basing their use of them on no
scientific information. I’ve got the marketing claims, a list of ingredients and nutrition facts provided on the cans for
consumers, and a short list of questions that should get you started. When you research these, be sure to document
all your sources of information, keeping in mind that all resources are not equal. Here’s the information.”

With that, Charley left the office. Rho ...

Coke vs Pepsi Challenge
This document summarizes a study comparing preferences for Coke and Pepsi. It provides details on the study's methodology, including administering blind taste tests of Coke and Pepsi to students at a university. The results found that while most students initially preferred Coke, after the taste test more identified Pepsi as their preference. Literature on branding and neural responses to familiar brands is also reviewed. Statistical analysis found some differences in preferences before and after the taste test, but no differences based on demographics. Limitations of the study including its location and sample are also outlined.

2) Six plants from previous studies around the world were found to have superoxide radical scavenging activity, including Spondias pinnata from India with an IC50 of 13.46 ug/mL.
3) The student's research found that aqueous and methanolic extracts of Syzygium jambos, a plant used traditionally in Puerto Rico, had IC50 values of 37.65 ug/mL and 79.24 ug/mL respectively for scavenging superoxide radicals.
4) The results suggest that S. jambos is a
Dangers of energy drinks
Energy drinks were first marketed in the early 20th century and gained popularity in the 1980s. They are now one of the fastest growing beverage markets, appealing mainly to those under 35. While manufacturers promote benefits of energy and masculinity, research has linked energy drinks to health risks like increased heart rate and blood pressure. Multiple cases of illness and death, especially in young people, have been reported from energy drink consumption.
Estimation of chemicals in Soft drinks
Many youngsters today are addicted to the cool refreshing beverages, the soft drinks. Recently, Soft drink brands have been put into various questions regarding their purity. News flashed that they contain harmful pesticide, which aroused our interest in knowing its contents because we have been drinking them for so many years. We wanted to confirm whether the accusations on the major soft drink brands are true or not. Hence we took up this project.
High energy drinks
This document summarizes two studies on the effects of energy drinks and caffeine on athletic performance. The first study found that consuming Red Bull raised heart rate and lactate levels during exercise but saw no difference in repeated anaerobic cycling performance compared to a placebo. The second study found no significant difference in agility or anaerobic power between caffeine and placebo trials. Both studies suggest athletes should be cautious of relying on energy drinks or caffeine solely for performance enhancement.
Energy Drinks and Teens
A clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics warns that energy drinks, sports drinks, and any drinks with caffeine should be avoided by children and teenagers. Energy drinks typically contain caffeine and other stimulants which can lead to health issues like caffeine toxicity. A teenager died after drinking two 24 oz energy drinks. While the FDA regulates caffeine in soft drinks, there are no regulations for energy drinks which are classified as dietary supplements despite some having very high caffeine levels equivalent to several cups of coffee. The document provides healthier alternatives to energy drinks like getting enough sleep, staying hydrated with water, and consuming protein shakes or green tea.
soft drinks disadvantages
This document discusses the health impacts of soft drinks. It begins by introducing the topic and popularity of soft drinks before examining both the potential benefits and health hazards of consumption. Specific health hazards covered include links to mental health issues, weight gain, effects on digestive and renal systems, and risks for pregnant women. The document then considers diet soda as an alternative before presenting healthier options. Statistical analysis and surveys on consumption are mentioned. The conclusion recommends avoiding soft drinks and switching to healthier beverages for overall wellness.
Prelim(2)(4)
The document summarizes a student project that aims to test different fruits as potential sources of electricity. The team hypothesized that fruits with pH levels further from 7 would generate higher voltages. They tested 20 fruits and recorded each fruit's pH level and voltage. Most fruits generated voltages between 0.8-1V. Strawberries had the highest voltage of 1V while watermelon and lemons were on the lower end. Through this experiment, the students learned about laboratory protocols and safety, as well as the importance of teamwork and compromise.
Aqua Squad's Mission Folder
The team conducted experiments to test the quality and taste of their school's tap water compared to bottled water. In a survey, most teachers and staff said they avoided the school water due to concerns about cleanliness or taste. The team tested for contaminants and taste to see if these concerns were valid. They found that while the tap water did not contain bacteria, it had higher nitrate levels than allowed. A blind taste test found that refrigerated bottled water tasted best, while one fountain tasted worst, but refrigerated tap water was similar to unrefrigerated bottled water. The results suggest students could save money by drinking refrigerated tap water instead of bottled water.

Coffee Feature
This document discusses caffeine consumption and provides information about the amount of caffeine in various foods and drinks. It notes that the general consensus is to stay below 400mg of caffeine per day. However, it can be difficult to track total caffeine intake, as many foods and drinks contain caffeine but do not list the amounts. While caffeine has some potential health benefits, there are also risks from consuming too much, such as anxiety, sleep issues, and caffeine dependence or addiction. The document advises moderating caffeine intake and paying attention to individual tolerance levels.

Unit2essay-Australian Animal Adaptation
Native Australian species such as marsupials and monotremes flourished due to Australia's geographic isolation which allowed them to evolve without competition from other land animals. Marsupials like kangaroos and wombats thrive through easy to access diets and protection in pouches, while monotremes such as echidnas and platypuses lay their eggs in protective aquatic or burrow environments. However, introduced species like rabbits and foxes have driven the decline of native species by outcompeting them for resources as they lacked natural predators in Australia. Both native and introduced species have adapted to the Australian environment through traits like herbivorous diets, burrowing, camouflage or defense mechanisms.
Unit1 essay-DEEP SEA CREATURES
Deep sea creatures like giant squid, zombie worms, jellyfish, and yeti crabs thrive in extreme environments that are too hot, cold, deep, and dark for most organisms. These environments include near hydrothermal vents with temperatures over 700 degrees Fahrenheit and depths over 7,200 feet below the ocean surface. Despite facing these challenging conditions, the creatures have unique adaptations that allow them to survive, such as specialized body structures, bioluminescence, and symbiotic relationships with bacteria. Their adaptations demonstrate how life can persist even in some of the most extreme ocean habitats on Earth.

The document discusses how artificial light, especially blue light from electronic devices, can suppress melatonin production and disrupt circadian rhythms. A study exposed participants to tablets or tablets with blue light-emitting diodes for 1-2 hours while measuring melatonin levels. After 1 hour, melatonin was suppressed by 7% for the tablet group and 48% for the blue light group. After 2 hours, suppression was 23% and 66% respectively, showing blue light significantly reduces melatonin. The findings suggest limiting device use, especially before bed, to reduce health risks from circadian disruption and sleep deprivation.

Powerpoint Poster:Buzzed
This document discusses various drinks such as energy drinks, coffee, tea, and soft drinks that contain caffeine. While caffeine can provide temporary benefits when consumed in moderation, the document warns that consuming large amounts of caffeine counteracts any positive effects and exposes the body to one of the most addictive substances for humans, with more people worldwide suffering from caffeine addiction than nicotine addiction.

Buzzed:A Caffeinated Experiment
- 1. BUZZED: A CAFFEINATED EXPERIMENT Team Caffeine Aleena Jackson Daniela Lin Kristin Baker
- 2. PURPOSE (WHY?) To test how caffeine affects consumers by having them ingest energy drinks. Basically, we want to see if the energy drinks live up to the expectations promised to the consumers.
- 3. BACKGROUND INFO Caffeine is one of the most popular drugs in the world. The average American ingests 4 gallons of energy drinks a year. Over eighty-five percent of Americans overuse doses of caffeine every day.
- 4. BACKGROUND INFO Caffeine can be both helpful and harmful to the human body, depending on how much is ingested.
- 5. BACKROUND INFORMATION Most energy drinks contain between 70 and 200 milligrams of caffeine. Common drinks, such as Monster Energy, RockStar Energy, and Red Bull, have around 160 milligrams.
- 6. QUESTION Do major energy drinks actually increase overall performance and, if so, which drink is the most effective?
- 7. HYPOTHESIS If the effects of Red Bull, Monster, and Rockstar energy drinks on the performance of thirteen-year-old students are compared to students without the beverages, then…
- 8. HYPOTHESIS …students consuming the energy drinks, especially Red Bull, will have a significantly greater performance than students without the drinks, and students drinking Monster or Rockstar.
- 9. MATERIALS (1) Focus Test (1) Laptop or computer with Internet (1) Performance Test: 30-Meter Run (5) 16 oz cans of Red Bull Energy Drink (5) 16 oz cans of Monster Energy Drink (5) 16 oz cans of Rockstar Energy Drink
- 10. MATERIALS - (10) Test Subjects [5 male, 5 female, age 13] - (40) 8 oz foam cups - (1) Stopwatch
- 11. PROCEDURES Have each of the test subjects take the Focus Test. Record their percentage of the 6 Distraction rating.
- 12. PROCEDURES Have each of the test subjects run 30 meters. Record the time (in seconds) it takes for each of them to complete the run.
- 13. PROCEDURES Pour 8 oz of Red Bull Energy Drink into each of ten foam cups. Have each test subject drink one full cup.
- 14. PROCEDURES Repeat Steps 1-3. Wait 24 hours before moving on to step 5.

- 17. PROCEDURES Pour 8 oz of Rockstar Energy Drink into each of ten foam cups. Have each test subject drink one full cup. Repeat steps 1-3.
- 18. OBSERVATIONS - At the beginning of the testing, the test subjects seemed tired and unenthusiastic. - Students seemed more excited by having the drinks than by actually drinking them.
- 19. OBSERVATIONS -A few test subjects claimed to have been nauseous with bad vision after drinking their energy drink. -The student’s results for the second test were extremely close to one another.
- 20. OBSERVATIONS The students drinking Rockstar had higher scores on the focus test. Students drinking energy drinks did better on the focus test than those without.
- 21. DATA
- 22. DATA
- 23. CONCLUSION The caffeine in the energy drinks only affected the mental performance of the test participants, and did impact their physical performance. The hypothesis was not supported by the data.
