Week 12 Discussion: Energy Drinks Cont'd

Hey Scholars!!!

Can you believe it? We are already at the end of the 2nd six weeks. Only 6 more weeks and your done with Chemistry (tear). Last week we talked about electrolytes and that kind of lead to some discussion on energy drinks. For this week I would like you to read this article/story and tell me if this is going to be the future of sports drinks. Instead of Gator-aid are athletes going to slam an energy drink before a game or an Olympic Race?

Week 11 Discussion: "Naturally We Called Our Stuff Gator-Aid"

Hey Scholars,

Hope you enjoy that extra day off this week. I know I did. This week we are talking about Colloids and things that are suspended in solutions. My first thought when I think of electrolytes is Gator-Aid. I want to know what other beverages are out there that have suspended matter in them and what makes the healthy or unhealthy for our bodies (effects) Hint: energy drinks!!!
