ChokolateBoss:
Does alcohol (especially spirits) cause a sharp increase in sugar level? I love drinking spirits, that's why I'm asking. Any advice?

Spirit doesn't contain sugar, but energy drink does. Its high in caffeine and sugar level.

As concerns over the safety of energy
drinks continue to grow, a study outlines the recent
evidence regarding the content, benefits, and risks of the
beverages that is popular.
Are energy drinks fatally caffeinated?
What do the beverages contain that could pose a
health hazard?
Studies also don't support all of the claims made
by the manufacturers on some of the other
ingredients' ability to maintain energy. The study
authors broke down the most common ingredients
found in energy drinks: caffeine, guarana, taurine,
ginseng, sugars and B vitamins and why they
might be problematic.
Caffeine
This is the primary ingredient in energy drinks, and its
levels can vary widely. Energy drinks do not fall under the
same regulatory category as sodas and often have higher
levels of the stimulant than indicated.
For comparison, a 6.5-ounce cup of coffee contains 80 to
120 milligrams of caffeine, tea has about 50 mg, and a 12-
ounce cola cannot have more than 65 mg. Energy drinks
have significantly higher amounts, with the most well-
known brands containing anywhere from 154 mg in a 16-
ounce Red Bull to 505 mg in a 24-ounce Wired X505.
There is no official recommended limit for the amount of
caffeine a person can consume, but excessive caffeine has
been linked to a variety of adverse effects such as high
blood pressure, premature birth and possibly sudden death.
Guarana
Also known as Brazilian cocoa, guarana is a plant from
South America that contains a caffeine compound called
guaranine. One gram of guarana is equal to 40 mg of
caffeine. But even if it's in energy drinks, it's typically not
included in the total caffeine tally.
"In reality, when a drink is said to contain caffeine plus
guarana, it contains caffeine plus more caffeine," the
authors write. The FDA has not assessed guarana, so its
risks and benefits remain unknown.
Sugars
The sugar content in energy drinks ranges from 21 grams
to 34 grams per 8 ounces, and can come in the form of
sucrose, glucose, or high fructose corn syrup.
"Users who consume two or three energy drinks could be
taking in 120 mg to 180 mg of sugar, which is 4 to 6 times
the maximum recommended daily intake," the authors
write, noting that adolescents who consume energy drinks
could be at risk for obesity and dental problems.
Taurine
As one of the most common amino acids in the body,
taurine can support brain development and regulate the
body's mineral and water levels, and could even improve
athletic performance. It's found naturally in meat, seafood
and milk.
The study authors say the amount of taurine consumed
from energy drinks is higher than that in a normal diet. As
of yet, there is no evidence this is unhealthy, but there is
also no evidence that consuming large amounts is
beneficial for the human body.
"Some energy drinks (contain) super-physiologic amounts
of these ingredients, embracing the mantra 'more is better.'
I'm not sure this mantra should necessarily apply," says
study author Dr. Kwabena Blankson, an Air Force
pediatrician specializing in teen medicine at Portsmouth
Naval Medical Center.
"Many energy drink ingredients that are 'healthy' are
vitamins or minerals you probably get even if you don't eat
the most balanced diet. American foods are heavily
fortified. For the average consumer, energy drinks don't
even tell you how much of these special ingredients you
are getting, couching the quantities behind the term
'proprietary blend' or 'energy blend.'"

'spontaneous abortion'
Ginseng
There are claims that ginseng boosts athletic performance,
strengthens the immune system and improves mood. But
the authors say there is little proof of this, and there isn't
enough ginseng in energy drinks to offer any benefit. The
root has also been linked to increased risk of insomnia,
headache and hypertension.
"Ginseng should be used cautiously, as it can cause
undesirable side effects in high doses and may even be
dangerous when taken with certain medicines or if the
patient is undergoing surgery," according to the American
Cancer Society.
B vitamins and other additives
Studies suggest that B vitamins can improve mood and
even fight heart disease and cancer, but the amount
contained in each energy drink isn't enough to have any
meaningful effect.
There are also a number of other additives that the authors
say need further study. "I was surprised by the profound
lack of science supporting the benefit of ingesting some
these ingredients such as carnitine, Yohimbe, and bitter
orange," says Blankson.
"Adolescent consumers have no idea what these
ingredients do. They assume that because they can easily
buy it off the shelf that it must be safe for them." The fact
is, however, that there isn't much scientific evidence on
the risks or benefits of these additives -- and very little is
known about the effects of daily energy drink consumption
over the long term.
The study also highlights the fact that many teens mix
their energy drinks with alcohol, which can mask the
effects of alcohol and give drinkers the impression they've
consumed less than they have.
Given the lack of knowledge about how energy drinks and
alcohol interact, as well as how the beverages mix with
medications and antidepressants, the researchers also urge
physicians to be aware of energy drink consumption,
particularly among teens, and suggest educating patients
and parents on the potential consequences of making
energy drinks a regular habit.

interesting and educative.

The sharp increase in sugar level caused a system shock which resulted into his death. That's why basic knowledge is totally necessary. His death was avoidable.

zikclassiq:
correct. Its a culture thing really. When lasy did any of your parent talk to you about sex, boy /girl friends? Is it a taboo? especially in Nigeria. Our parents seem so***i think "ASHAMED" is the word. WHY?

Well, I'll say it still boils down to our culture and mentality, as u'v earlier states.

With the rate at which kids invent ways in keeping Their tracks clean.... Its extremely brilliant and overtly devilish. Won't blame most of those kids though, cus parents resort to stalking rather setting a perfect example. My parents aint saints though, but they pretty much give my siblings and I freedom of expressivity and advises us on things they feel aint so cool, whch we gladly drop. Got a uncle that installed a spy software on her daughter's mobile device. Believe me, she knows and just acts ignorantly. Parents shouldn't feel ashamed or unprepared in discussing teenage issues with Their kids, rather prepare them for the dangers associated with such acts.

Well the news is a farce. No one as officially declared that he's stepping down. Considering am watching the convention live, all candidates remain involved.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has announced the
reduction of the tuition being paid by students of the Ekiti
State University, Ado-Ekiti, from N50,000 to N30,000.
Fayose, who announced this while featuring on a radio/
television programme “Meet your Governor,” said the
students could also pay the fees twice.
He said his administration would also ensure an enabling
atmosphere for teaching and learning in state-owned
institutions.

Speaking in tongues is a necessity in making heaven. Cos it is the confirmation of God's spirit in us. It is part of the gift of the spirit. This is the standards set up when we live in the dictates of the spirit of God. Cos through him we reign and live forever. (Romans 8 : 9-17 & 26-30)
(1Corinthians 1 :7) for he wishes us not to lack in any spiritual gift or blessings through the holy spirit, while we wait for the coming of our lord Jesus Christ.
Apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians(1cor1:10-13) further elaborated on the importance of coming into one understanding of God's word, refuting division.
Live through God's word, and remain blessed.

Australia Test batsman Phil Hughes, 25, has died in
hospital, two days after being hit on the head by a delivery
during a domestic match in Sydney.
Australia team doctor Peter Brukner said he never regained
consciousness.
Hughes, who also played for Hampshire, Middlesex and
Worcestershire, was struck by a short-pitched ball from Sean
Abbott.
"It's an understatement to say we're completely devastated,"
said Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland.
"The word tragedy gets used too often in sport, but this freak
accident is a real life tragedy."
Australia captain Michael Clarke read out a statement on
behalf of the Hughes family at a news conference.
England team statement
"Phil was admired and respected by all he played with and
against and will never be forgotten by the cricket
community."
Speaking on behalf of parents Greg and Virginia, sister
Megan and brother Jason, he said: "We're devastated by the
loss of our much-loved son and brother, Phillip. It's been a
very difficult few days.
"We appreciate all the support we have received from family,
friends, players, Cricket Australia and the general public.
"Cricket was Phillip's life and we as a family shared that love
of the game with him. We would like to thank all the medical
and nursing staff at St Vincent's Hospital and Cricket New
South Wales medical staff for their great efforts with Phillip.
We love you."
A clearly emotional Clarke then stood up and left the room.
Hughes, batting for South Australia, collapsed face first on the
ground after being hit by a bouncer from Abbott during a
Sheffield Shield game against New South Wales.
He had CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at the ground
before being taken to St Vincent's Hospital, where he had a
90-minute operation to relieve pressure on his brain.
In a statement, Brukner said: "It is my sad duty to inform you
that a short time ago Phillip Hughes passed away.
"He never regained consciousness following his injury on
Tuesday.
"He was not in pain before he passed and was surrounded by
his family and close friends.
"As a cricket community, we mourn his loss and extend our
deepest sympathies to Phillip's family and friends at this
incredibly sad time.
"Cricket Australia kindly asks that the privacy of the Hughes
family, players and staff be respected."

Vincent's Hospital
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott paid tribute to the
player, describing Hughes as "a young man living out his
dreams".
"His death is a very sad day for cricket and a heartbreaking
day for his family. What happened has touched millions of
Australians," he said.
"For a young life to be cut short playing our national game
seems a shocking aberration. He was loved, admired and
respected by his team-mates and by legions of cricket fans."
Australia coach Darren Lehmann tweeted: "RIP you little
champ, we are all going to miss you! Love, prayers to all the
Hughes family."

Innings 49
Runs 1,535
Highest score 160
Average 32.65
The England team also released a statement on Twitter,
writing: "Our deepest sympathies go out to Phil Hughes'
family, friends and team-mates at this incredibly sad time.
"Phil was admired and respected by all he played with and
against and will never be forgotten by the cricket community."
Members of the Australian national team, including Clarke,
visited Hughes in hospital, comforting the player's mother and
sister.
Hughes, who had played 26 Tests, made his Test debut at the
age of 20 against South Africa in 2009.
In only his second match, he became the youngest batsman to
post two centuries in a single Test.
He played county cricket for Hampshire, Middlesex and
Worcestershire and shared in what was at the time a world
record 10th-wicket partnership of 163 with Ashton Agar
against England in the 2013 Ashes series.

Sorry Denrele. Why will u keep all eggs in 1 bag? As for me o. When i am travelling, i keep my phone in my pocket, the second phone at home, my main cash in my socks, my extrachange in my pocket, my document in a hidden place in my car, all other unnecessary papers like newspaper in my bag, My credit card under the car's boot carpet. e.t.c...

Guess you just made their job easy for them then.

That is the best way to go!! he has been treating these fools with kid gloves which had emboldened them

FOOLS,! If you did understand the system of government you wouldn't say that. This guys are independent of the excos. Their job involves checking the activities of every gov't parastatal, including the excos. The situation is the other way round. And our gov't is lawless. This is a total depiction of a disgraceful society. We should reason this based on our heritage and integrity, rather than involving sentimentality.

The same chance the simpleton had was what the SA striker used in burying the first goal. This guys are just so heartbreaking.

Detriment? So in your own partisan mind every of military equipment is in Sambisa right now? None are in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria?
and If the head of the military dies from a boko haram attack what exactly to do you that will do to the stability of Nigeria and morale of the army? My God be empathetic.

GEJ is your president. Whether you agree with him or like him he is your PRESIDENT and there is a legal way of getting rid of him if you don't agree and it doesn't include complaining because he has military security in a time of internal war.

As much as you believe that someone having a different notion to common situation has a partisan mind, well, I'l put it to you that adequate and relevant military gears is not available at the disposal of this military men. Our borders aint safe, military weaponry are archaic. This are things needed to be taken into cognizance. I hope you understand this quickly before it's too late.

The funniest part is, if they are not able to sell at least half of the goods, their mothers will beat the hell out of them.

Its not about buying or not buying from them, the federal government should just ban it. I'm sure we have children welfare groups in this country and they are not doing anything about it

As sensible and reasonable as ur comment is, I believe banning it is creating a bigger problem. As much as I understand d system of governance in the country, I believe they create problems more than they solve it. This kids are indigent citizens, d only way they can take care of themslevs legally is tru dis medium. Taking it away frm them makes life miserable more for them. They'l become desperate to do anything damning d consequences, cos they believe there's nothing to loose. I believe we as individuals should do something to help too. We can take up responsibility for this kids if we are capable of doing it too. They may turn out to be armed robbers or assasins that can be payed against us. We can adopt and care for them. That's the definition of love.

Bro this is hard..... I wonder what happened when you were given birth.... Maybe you remind him of something back in the days,i dont know but am just saying... Just know that you cant commit suicide.. That would be worse.... Believe me all you ve to do is get yourself into a university.... That will enable you to be away from him for a while..... I think you ve a bright future and all these would be part of your story..... Just endure.

You said it all. Maybe he should ask his mum what happened on his birth day.

Ikengawo:
Excuse me, fool, we're you hoping he was killed? I hope the president of my country uses what he needs to stay safe and be a part of a fair and free election process as planned

At the detriment of those he swore to protect and serve. Try to imagine the pains and woes of those in the north, will the parents of those kids gruesomely killed be thinking of voting for a man who as failed to protect and keep them save?. Read through your comment and reminisce on it.

A total idea of what the present day government is all about. Very unfortunate.

That was classy. Great job she did there.
