...tains absolutely no calories! Aspartame is one of the safest artificial sweeteners I researched throughout the whole paper; the most dangerous or unhealthiest was actually sodium cyclamate. Although aspartame cannot or should not be used for cooking and baking because it will break down during the process. Despite all the rumors about aspartame being “the most dangerous artificial sugar out there” many specialists disagree and believe all the drama about aspartame stop because it is completely healthy to consume. I would recommend people that would like to be healthier and want to slow down on eating regular sugar to consume and go buy aspartame because it is very healthy and safe to eat. I also asked a few people in my family about the sugars and asked for their opinions on which one they would rather consume and most of them picked either saccharin or aspartame.

Energy drinks affect your body in ways people don’t think about. My experiment was created to find out what happens to your heart rate after putting an energy drink into your body. Some of the things I found by doing some research is that you can go to the hospital just for drinking an energy drink alone. Energy drinks contain more caffeine than what the label says. Based on this research a hypothesis was created. The hypothesis was, if you drink an energy drink, then your heart rate will increase due to the amount of caffeine it contains. This hypothesis made the most sense because caffeine has been labeled by doctors to not be the safest substance.

How can it be that one could lose weight if he/she binge eats all of the calories back with three whoppers from McDonalds? The quantity as well as quality of the food must absolutely be taken into consideration. Abbott mentions the importance of overall food intake when it comes to weight loss, and along with another diet book, discretely advises against overindulging in the periods between fasting, but does not specifically account for this significant detail in her description of the weight loss method, making it rather unconvincing (James, S.
Two thirds of the human body, including an athlete's body, is made up of water. Without water we can not live, nor would we exist. Water needs to be purified in order to be drinkable and safe for humanity. Most athlete's drink high quality purified water which promotes their hydration. Dehydration is the result of not having water in your body. This can lead to fatigue, headaches, joint pain and other uncomfortable states in the human body which would affect an athlete's performance. A human can not spend more than three days without having water, therefore an athlete that uses more water than a normal person would have a shorter period of time because of how quickly they use the water. The average tissue in your body is made up of 50 percent

Caffeine is an incredibly addictive substance found in nature, however because it is labeled natural does not mean is is healthy by any means. Energy drinks by themselves contain numerous dangerous ingredients such as caffeine, guarana, taurine, and glucuronolactone (Pennay, Lubman, and Miller, 2011), carbohydrates inositol, niacin, panthenol, and β-complex vitamins (Oteri, Salvo, Caputi, & Calapai, 2007). A standard energy drink has 85 milligrams of caffeine, which is a stimulant of the central nervous system, but can contain up to 500 milligrams (Pennay, Lubman, and Miller, 2011). Taurine is an amino acid that influences the contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscles. Energy drinks contain ten times more of the recommended intake of taurine, between 40-400 milligrams.
