  • Mountain Dew a Day
    Aug. 27, 2000--- MILLERSVILLE, Tenn.---- My friends think it's strange that I drink three or four cans of Diet Mountain Dew a day. Just imagine if I hoarded the hooch. I didn't realize Mountain Dew was such a hot collectible until I visited the Museum of Beverage Containers and Advertising and saw a special section called "The Hillbilly Display." That's the portion of the museum devoted to weird names like "Jake and Daisy Dew" and "One That's Able, Says Mable" that were printed on Mountain Dew bottles during the 1960s. Museum owner and curator Tom Bates says the names honor the folks who worked in the bottling plants, mostly in Iowa and North Carolina. They had throwback rural names to further flavor the impression that Mountain Dew_like moonshine_was distilled locally. "At one time we had 500 different names," Bates says during a museum tour. "I decided I didn't want to keep them all." Bates put some of his collection up for sale in the museum gift shop. I bought an empty 1965 "Zeke n' Daisy" 10-ounce bottle of Mountain Dew for $7. In exciting cursive, the back of the bottle promised, It'll Tickle Your Innards! Imagine some advertising bigwig proposing that slogan today to PepsiCo, which owns and operates Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew dates back to the early 1940s when brothers Ally and Barney Hartman of Knoxville, Tenn., were bottling a 7-Up type brew as their own mixer for hard liquor. They named the stuff "Mountain Dew" after Tennessee Mountain Moonshine. The mid-1960s bottles said the soft drink was "Made from flavors specially blended in the traditional hillbilly style." Hiccup! In 1946 Barney and Ally affixed a paper label to their brew showing a hillbilly toting a gun and a signature that said `By BARNEY and OLLIE' (they meant it to say ALLY).

  • Caffeine- the Legal Addiction
    Caffeine- the legal addiction By Stephanie Palmer Whether your drink of choice is Monster or Rockstar, Jolt or Bawls, you may want to read this before partaking in another can of your favorite boost and /or fix of caffeine. Energy drink companies claim a lot of things when they advertise their products, such as, alertness, improved cognition, increased energy, and so on. However upon researching the information and claims, I found more adverse effects than benefits. First though I thought you might like to hear that you are not alone in your choice to drink energy drinks, because, well, they are everywhere. With over 800 different kinds to choose from and vending machines and retail places all over campus providing a constant supply of caffeine, they are hard to avoid. But sometimes following the crowd isn’t necessarily a good thing. Based on one study I found, 51% of college student reported drinking one or more energy drinks per month. Of that 51%, slightly more were female. Close to three quarters of that 51% drank energy drinks that contained sugar. According to this study there were 6 main reasons for consuming energy drinks: Lack of sleep or insufficient sleep, to increase energy, using at parties in combination with alcohol, studying or finishing a project, driving for long periods of time, and to treat a hangover. 16-20% of the students surveyed consumed energy drinks for at least 1-5 of the situations, and 7% consumed them for all six. As the number of situations increased so did the amount of consumed drinks.

  • Programa De Suplementos Deportivos Del Instituto Australiano Del Deporte
    PROGRAMA DE SUPLEMENTOS DEPORTIVOS DEL INSTITUTO AUSTRALIANO DEL DEPORTE CAFEÍNA Apreciación global del suplemento La Cafeína o (1,3,7-trimetilxantina), es una sustancia que se encuentra naturalmente en las hojas, frijoles y frutas de una variedad de plantas, y es consumida regularmente por aprox. 90% de los adultos. La fuente dietética más común de la cafeína es el café, pero las bebidas tipo cola, las bebidas energéticas y también los alimentos y suplementos especializados para deportistas contribuyen con la ingesta de la misma. Carecemos de información exacta sobre las ingestas de cafeína diarias típicas de los australianos; sin embargo, es probable que sea de alrededor de 250-300 mg (3-5 mg/kg de masa corporal). La ingesta de cafeína ha sido vinculada con varios problemas de salud; pero no está claro si la cafeína contribuye con un mayor o menor riesgo de sufrir diversas enfermedades. Las diferentes agencias de salud de los países del mundo consideran que la cafeína sería un compuesto generalmente seguro cuando se consume en niveles bajos o moderados. Estos niveles se definen como: • Bajo: 80-250 mg/d (1.1-3.5 mg/kg de masa corporal) • Moderado: 300-400 mg/d (4-6 mg/kg de masa corporal/día) El consumo de cafeína por los niños tiene un riesgo mayor y se sugiere que los niños menores de 12 años limiten la ingesta de cafeína a menos de 2,5 mg/kg/d. El 1 de enero de 2004, la cafeína fue eliminada de la lista de prohibiciones de 2014 de la Agencia Mundial Anti Doping (WADA), lo que permitió que los atletas que compiten en los deportes bajo la legislación de WADA puedan consumir cafeína dentro de sus dietas habituales o con propósitos específicos de rendimiento.

Available nearly everywhere, affordable and conveniently packaged, energy drinks represent an apparently simple solution to the worldwide exhaustion epidemic. Yet despite their widespread consumption and popularity - sales in the United States reached over $10 billion in 2012 - many questions still remain about their safety and efficacy (Meier, January 2013). To start with, most energy drinks contain ingredients that consumers are not familiar with, and that haven’t been studied for safe consumption in a laboratory environment. The goal of this whitepaper is to provide background information on what makes energy drinks different from other common sources of caffeine, examine the ingredients that give energy drinks their “boost”, and identify best consumption practices and potential safety issues.* I. What Are Energy Drinks Anyway? You might say that energy drinks are the older, stronger, jock brother of caffeinated soft drinks. They share some similarities – both are typically carbonated, contain caffeine and sugar, and are available everywhere. However, the biggest difference between energy drinks and sodas is how they are classified by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
