SPORT and ENERGY DRINKS: SUPPLEMENTS for School-Age Children Kara Breymeyer SU ’11 Community Rotation SPORT AND ENERGY DRINKS: SUPPLEMENTS for School-age Children There has been a rise in consumption of sport drinks, flavored water, and energy drinks. The marketing for these beverages may mislead the public portraying them as a healthier option to soda. This handout looks at these beverages as they should be better understood and recommendations from leaders in pediatric health care for children and adolescents should be followed. Sport Drinks/Flavored waters are flavored beverages that often contain carbohydrates (or non-nutritive sweeteners), minerals, electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sometimes vitamins or other nutrients. The Academy of American Pediatrics (AAP) published a position paper in June 2011 that has strong recommendations and considerations for the consumption in this population. 1 Promote water as the primary source of hydration for children and adolescents Understand the difference between sport and energy drinks Energy drinks potentially pose a health risk because of stimulant content, should be avoided by children and adolescents Routine consumption of carbohydrate containing beverages should be restricted or avoided to limit excessive calorie intake which can lead to risk of obesity and dental erosion Sport drinks should be used in combination with water ONLY for periods of prolonged, vigorous sports participation or other physical activities The AAP reports there are no advantages to ingesting vitamins and minerals in beverages. A well-balanced diet will provide adequate nutrient intake and is the preferred source for all vitamins and minerals.1 The most appropriate use of sports drinks are for youth engaged in prolonged vigorous intense activity who need to maintain levels of blood glucose supply with carbohydrates to replenish available energy as muscle glycogen stores decrease. Electrolytes are necessary to replenish those lost through sweating.1 Listed are the most popular sport drinks and flavored waters in America1 note: most bottles are 20oz Sport Drink/ Calories/16oz Electrolytes Other Ingredients Flavored Water Carbohydrate/16oz Gatorade – Original 100 kcal Sodium, potassium -- PepsiCo, Inc 28g CHO Gatorade – Propel 20kcal/ 6g CHO Sodium Vitamins B3,B5,B6,B12,C,E Gatorade – Endurance 100 kcal/ 28g CHO Sodium, potassium Calcium, magnesium All Sport – Body Quencher 120 kcal Sodium, potassium Vitamin C All Sport, Inc 32g CHO All Sport – Naturally Zero 0 kcal/ 0 CHO Sodium, potassium Vitamins B3,B5,B6,B12 Accelerade 160 kcal Sodium, potassium Vitamin E, calcium, protein Pacific Health Lab, Inc 30g CHO Powerade - Original 156 kcal Sodium Iron Coca Cola Company 38g CHO Powerade - Zero 0 kcal/ 0 CHO Sodium, potassium Vitamins B3,B6,B12 Powerade – Ion4 100 kcal/ 28 CHO Sodium, potassium Vitamins B3,B6,B12 Sobe Lifewater ~ 80 kcal Sodium, potassium Vitamins B3,B5,B6,B12,C,E Distributed by PepsiCo, Inc ~ 32g CHO and more Many flavors varies by flavor varies by flavor Vitamin Water ~100kcal Potassium Vitamins B3,B5,B6,B12,C,E, Glaceau ~15g CHO folate, pantothenic acid, Coca Cola Company varies by flavor guarana, magnesium, Many flavors calcium – varies by flavor See other side for Energy drinks definitions and examples Energy Drinks contain caffeine, carbohydrates, and legal stimulants such as guarana, taurine, ginseng, and vitamin B complex. They are often marketed to adolescents as natural alternative beverages to increase fun, promote alertness, cognitive performance, and focus attention.2 At this time, there are no solid data that shows the long-term effects of energy drinks on the human body. Several small studies have looked at the impact of energy drinks on sports performance and indicators of cardiac disruption such as ECG, blood pressure, and pulse. The results were mixed and inconclusive in addition to being among small specific sample groups.2,3 There have been many reported and published case studies in which healthy and unhealthy people have had adverse reaction as serious as death after the consumption of energy drinks. 2,3 More research is needed to understand the possible deleterious effects of these beverages over time. 2,3 These beverages can vary in caffeine content, often higher than caffeinated sodas. Nutrition fact labels should be looked at closely as caffeine content is not always easily identified on packaging. 2,3 Binge drinking energy drinks and consumption with alcohol is another potential health risk adolescents may be exposed to, as this is becoming a popular pairing. Energy drinks can mask the effects of intoxication and lead to more alcohol intake and dehydration. 2,3 AAP takes the position that energy drinks are not appropriate for children and adolescents because the stimulants used as ingredients pose a potential health risks to them. They should not be sold in schools.1 It is recommended to limit intake of energy drinks to 16oz or less per day, do not use for exercise hydration or enhancement, and report any adverse reaction to health care practitioners.3 Listed below are the four best selling energy drinks in America3 Brand Name Calories/16 oz Caffeine/16 oz Stimulant ingredients Manufacturer Red Bull 220 kcal 160mg taurine, glucuronolactone, niacin(B3), inositol(B8), Red Bull GmbH 54g CHO pyrixodine hydrochloride(B6), cyanocobalamin(B12), Pantothenic acid (B5) RockStar 280 kcal 160mg, part of taurine, niacin(B3), inositol(B8), pyrixodine hydrochloride Distributed by 62g CHO 1.35g “energy blend” (B6), riboflavin(B2), PepsiCo cyanocobalamin(B12), pantothenic acid(B5), ginseng, guarana, ginko biloba, milk thistle, L-carnitine, Monster 200 kcal ??, listed as part of taurine, glucuronolactone, niacin(B3), riboflavin(B2), Hansen Natural 54g CHO 5000mg “energy blend” inositol(B8), pyrixodine hydrochloride(B6), cyanocobalamin(B12), ginseng, guarana, L-carnitine, Full Throttle 220 kcal 141mg, part of taurine, niacin(B3), pyrixodine hydrochloride (B6), Coca Cola 57g CHO 3000mg “energy blend” cyanocobalamin (B12), ginseng, guarana, L-carnitine, Reference: 1Schneider MB, Benjamin HJ et al.

  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients
    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

  • Vitamin B12 Vitamin D Iodine and Selenium
    Frequently Asked Questions for VEG 1 General 1. Why has VEG 1 been developed? VEG 1 was developed to provide a convenient way of avoiding the most common weak points in a varied vegan diet: vitamin B12, iodine, vitamin D and selenium. Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 is almost entirely absent from modern plant foods which are not contaminated by bacteria and insects. Even unwashed, organically grown plants do not contain a significant amount of B12. Vegans often have intakes of vitamin B12 well below recommended intakes. Low vitamin B12 intake by vegans routinely leads to reduced activity of some important enzymes and increased levels of homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA). Even moderately elevated homocysteine is associated with increased risk of death, depression, stroke, dementia and birth defects, though it remains unclear how many of these associations reflect true cause and effect. Vegans who do not get vitamin B12 from fortified food or supplements are at increased risk of clinical deficiency symptoms such as anaemia and nervous system damage. The most common early symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are tiredness (from anaemia), numbness and tingling (from nervous system damage) and sore tongue. VEG 1 is designed to provide sufficient absorbed vitamin B12 to match national and international recommended intakes. It is designed to be chewed as this increases the reliability of vitamin B12 absorption by dispersing and dissolving the tablet. Vitamin D In the winter – whenever our shadows at midday are more than twice as long as we are – our skin cannot produce vitamin D effectively and even small dietary intakes may become important to avoid deficiency.
