FREE EnERgy?Some love the kick they get from energy drinks, but Red Bull, Amp

and the others aren’t risk-free

Detroit Free Press

I t’s been a grind all day and now it’s bedtime — but you’ve got more work to do or a

long drive ahead.Should you gulp an energy

drink?“Gulp” is the operative word,

health experts say. Ounce for ounce, most energy drinks may be no worse for health than strong coffee. But while people sip a coffee or tea, those who choose energy drinks consume them like soda pop.

And look at the packaging: Monster Energy, for example, comes in a 16-ounce can, which is technically two servings’ worth of caffeine, and youth researchers say many teens will drink the whole thing.

Energy drinks are the fastest-growing segment of the beverage industry, with sales rising about 9 percent by volume in 2010 and growing at the same pace this year, according to John Sicher, editor and publisher of Bever-age Digest.

“I’m going to be on a bus to Lansing (Mich.) and I’ll miss my afternoon cof-fee, so I’ll have one of these,” says Dennis Wixon, 27, of Sterling Heights, Mich., while buying two bottles of 5-Hour En-ergy at a gas station in Warren, Mich.

Others turn to them because coffee isn’t enough.

“This might be strange to say, but caffeine doesn’t give me that kick anymore — it’s almost a necessity,” says Oakland University junior Kaitlyn Chornoby.

Chornoby, 20, of Shelby Township,

Mich., said she drinks some coffee and Mountain Dew, but usu-ally it’s an AMP: Focus or Monster energy drink.

Researchers say caffeine abuse is widespread among adolescents and college students, who use energy drinks to overcome a lack of sleep or to stay up cramming for exams.

Energy drinks have other ingredients with unproven effects, such as high doses of vitamins and other nutri-ents, tied to label claims of increased concentration and an energy kick.

“The other stimulants in these drinks are not as well understood as caffeine, and the data is mixed” about whether they boost alert-ness, says Joe Carlson, a Michigan State University youth nutrition researcher.

Nutrition experts say healthy adults who other-wise would drink coffee or tea can switch to energy drinks as long as they don’t overindulge.

“It’s just a beverage that can replace your cup of coffee in the morning,” says science policy chief Maureen Storey at the trade group American Beverage Associa-tion.

But you’d be better off with coffee or tea, says David Schardt, senior nutrition-ist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a research group begun by Ralph Nader.

“If you need to stay alert and, for some reason, don’t want coffee, an energy drink will do the trick. If you’re driving, it might even save your life,” Schardt says. But unless energy drinks are labeled low-calorie, “they’re sugary, caloric drinks, and that can add up” to weight gains, he says.

Coffee and tea have no calories until you add sugar and milk or cream.

Who should avoid energy drinks?

Energy drinks are be-ing increasingly abused, especially by young people hooked on caffeine, accord-ing to the American As-sociation of Poison Control Centers. The organization, which began tracking energy drink incidents this year, received 340 reports of adverse health effects caused by the drinks’ high caffeine levels.

People with high blood pressure or heart disease also should beware of caf-

feine, says James Kalus, senior pharmacy manager at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

In a study the hospital published in 2008, Kalus found that healthy volun-teers had about a 10 percent increase in blood pressure and pulse rate after being put on a regimen of two energy drinks a day.

U nder the direct sun of a cloudless midday sky, Becky Roth, 19, and Taylor Higel, 19, sunbathed in the grass at Cranford Park.

As people such as Roth and Higel head out to enjoy the long sum-mer season, experts warn that sun health should be a top concern. Skin cancer cases are on the rise in Greeley, leading North Colorado Medical Center to make fighting skin cancer one of its top priorities.

Skin cancer, or malignant melanoma, is a disease that can take years to develop, and 10 to 20 years ago people did not use sunscreen, North Colorado Medical Center Oncology Director Julianne Fritz said. Because the cancer takes so long to de-velop, these mistakes made years ago have become skin cancer today.

Roth and Higel were both raised to always protect themselves, and on Thursday afternoon, both had on SPF 30 sunscreen.

“If I know I’m going outside longer than walking in and out of somewhere I always put on sunscreen,” Roth said.

In 2007 Greeley had 38 malignant melanoma cases, in 2008 it had 45 and in 2009 it had 64, Fritz said.

“Start at a young age,” Fritz said. “Skin is an organ of your body just like your heart, and you need to take care of it.”

Fritz encourages parents to equip kids with hats, sunscreen and clothes that cover the skin. These healthy habits stuck with the girls sun tanning near the Univer-sity of Northern Colorado campus.

“Mom made us wear sunscreen when I was little,” Higel said.

Since the girls always protect themselves, sun damage

is never really a concern for them.“I think about it, but I just don’t worry about it,” Roth

said. Although these particular sunbathers wore sunscreen,

they said many of their friends aren’t as cautious.“They try to get as tan as they can,” Roth said.Fritz said this attitude of invincibility is what can lead

to young people getting unhealthy sunburns. Reckless attitudes combined with the outdoor spirit and number of summer days in Colorado has made the state one of the top three skin cancer states in the country, Fritz said.

In order to reverse this increase of cases, NCMC has tried to spread knowledge about skin cancer — most specifically teaching the public how to recognize the symptoms.

Fritz encourages getting naked.“We teach people what to look for and to check their

skin at least two times a year,” Fritz said.As opposed to a regular mole, melanoma has erratic

ratty edges. Melanoma also will not be evenly colored. Nonworrisome moles will be round and one color, she said.

Because melanoma occurs during a long period of time, Fritz said the rising statistic might take a while to drop.

“Common sense is what we really try to teach,” Fritz said. “When in doubt, check it out.”
