Welcome to Food Safety in a Minute. 

Did you know thirty to sixty-eight percent of teens consume energy drinks regularly? Considered dietary supplements, energy drinks are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Marketed as mental and physical enhancers, teens may use them to compensate for lack of sleep and athletic performance. They often contain carbonated water, sugar, and lots of caffeine. 

The Academy of Pediatrics recommends teens consume no more than 100 mg of caffeine daily, comparable to an 8-ounce cup of coffee. One energy drink may have 160 mg of caffeine or more. Excessive caffeine may lead to higher blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and caffeine toxicity. With school starting, talk with your teens and your pediatrician about energy drinks. 

From Washington State University Extension, I’m Susie Craig.

This is a song about Snorlax, an old and multi-faceted friend.
A Snorlax appears happy on the surface, but do a little digging past the lethargy and you meet a different character of a deeper nature, a sadness that is a kind of understanding about the way life can and has to be.
Alas for Snorlax.  Gaze into his soul as he gazes also into yours.
