Description
What Can We Live Without? write about "energy drinks and how it could effect our health and how we can live without it" how we can live without it and how it can affect our health
After conversations about appeals and fallacies that are found in the "texts" that surround us, and the work of Wallace, Carson, and Leopold, we'll now turn to making our own argument, based on the Toulmin model of argument, exploring the questions: "What Can We Live Without?"
In this paper, you will
write about 5-6 Pages using simple words
- Make an argument according to the Toulmin Model of argument answering the question "What Can We Live Without?"
To do that, you will:
- Make a clear Claim, and expand on that through necessary points made in body paragraphs
- Establish the Grounds for your argument
- Understand the Warrant that connections your Claim and Grounds
- Bring in multiple perspectives as Backing and Rebuttal, where necessary.
If you have these mapped out for class on 9/24, that would be wonderful.
Another way to approach this might be to answer one of these questions:
- What is a habit or practice you enjoy, but might have ethical issues that are cause for concern?
- How might your personal habits (and thus larger cultural habits) be harming the environment, and what could be done to mitigate those?

Energy Drinks
Do Energy Drinks have positive or negative health impacts on our body? Do beverages
energize your body and sharpen your mind? The topic of energy drinks and its effects on our
health has created headlines over the past few years, with several people speculating about the
impact of energy drinks on our health. Consumption of energy drinks such as Rockstar and Red
Bull have increased in the past three years, particularly among young adults (Hales). Energy
drinks and manufactured with different quantities of nutritional products, which constitutes to
their consumption. The main ingredients found in various energy drinks include caffeine,
glucose, sucrose, carbonated water, vitamins, taurine, among other consumable minerals that
contribute to consumer health. The content of the energy drink comes with different potions, as
indicated on the back of the container, usually in percentages. Although these ingredients are
meant to nourish our bodies, excessive consumption leads to various physical and psychological
complications. Some of the common side effects include exaggerated stress response, disrupted
sleep, physical and mental difficulties, heart palpitations, exaggerated stress response, and
increased risk of high blood pressure (Hales). Millions of college students consume energy
drinks for the jolt provided or because they believe that the drinks enhance sports performance or
even sexual function. Health experts continue to warn that these caffeine-laden and sugary drinks
pose serious health risks, including alcohol poisoning, accidents, and dehydration (Hales). In this
paper, I will evaluate the health effects of energy drinks and proposes various ways of living
without it.

The research incorporated the use of scholarly materials from the internet using various
keywords relating to energy. The research findings help in generating the balance between
positive and negative effects of consuming energy drinks. Some of the positive impacts that
support the use of energy drinks include increasing vigilance, fighting exhaustion, enhancing
reaction time, boosting nutrition intake in the body. However, when one pops the top, what are
they taking into their bodies? The answer to this question can be found by analyzing different
ingredients found in the energy drinks and their impact on the consumers' health and general
well-being.
Caffeine is a chemical compound that spurs one's central nervous system. Java addicts
believe that caffeine works. As for science, Austrian research reported that men who consumed
100miligrams of caffeine had a more significant boost on their brain activity in comparison to
men who consumed a placebo (Mandel and Loeb). However, is it safe? The energy drink with
high caffeine content is equivalent to about two 8-ounce cups of coffee. If downing this much
does not make one jittery, then guzzling a can should not pose a problem. When one combines
energy drinks with other drinks with high caffeine content, they are likely to experience its side
effects. The side effects of high caffeine consumption in one day include nausea, sleeplessness,
or headaches. The use of energy drinks with high caffeine content can cause negative
repercussions to individuals battling high blood pressure. According to results by Finland
researchers, the amount of caffeine contained in 2 or three mugs of coffee could spike up blood
pressure by about 14 points. As recommended by doctors, it is ideal for adults to limit their
caffeine intake to about 500 mg a day. Individuals with high blood pressure, heart problems,

insomnia, and under medications should minimize their caffeine intake. The recommended
maximum for adolescents is 100mg of caffeine in cups and cans.
Glucose content in energy drinks is another point of concern when deciding whether to
consume them or not. It is the second most high ingredient content of an energy drink besides
caffeine. Several energy drinks contain about 50 to 60 grams of sucrose or glucose in a 16-ounce
