Awareness:Better Labels Urged for Caffeine in Drinks(The New York Times)

According to "Awareness:Better Labels Urged for Caffeine in Drinks(The New York Times)." With some energy drinks packing as much caffeine as 14 cans off cola, the beverage industry has come a long way from the days when coke billed itself as ”the pause that refreshes.” Now a new study suggests that manufacturers of the products should be required to list caffeine content and recommended limits, including a warning about use by children.


My Reaction:
As the society becomes more and more prosperous and progressive, the pressure workers suffer is getting higher and higher. Sometimes, their consciousness is not so clear that they need something to refresh themselves. Many of them choose coffee, tea or energy drinks as their best choice. Although the ingredient, caffeine, in the drinks is able to keep up your spirits, you need to be cautious about the quantity you take every day. Too much caffeine can make you be addicted to it and then you will be dependent on it. Thus, you are not conscious unless you drink beverage containing caffeine.


For me, I agree with the suggestion because it can do well to everyone’s health. For example, a little amount of caffeine makes a great effect on me. Whenever I drink tea of coffee, the quality of my sleep is not well at that night. I think a label listing caffeine content can be helpful for people to select carefully what they really want. All in all, the suggestion is a good way for us modern people to keep healthy.(261 words)
