To the editor:
My name is Jordan Breitenstein, and my science partner Kelsey Fraley and I have researched to what extent energy drinks affect the overall health of students at Lindbergh High School in St. Louis, Missouri. I found some really interesting and important information that our community should know.
This is what we found:
Before researching the effects of energy drinks on the body, we understood that the health benefits were insignificant and only had long-lasting negative effects on the body including an effect on the cardiovascular system, and potentially could lead to an addiction to caffeine. What we did not understand going into our research was the extent of the long-lasting negative and the number of positive health benefits.
