READING. PART ONE. A magazine article

ENERGY FOODSPublicity always makes big promises about energy drinks and nutrition bars. Some advertisements say thatthey'll increase energy and alertness, others that they offer extra nutrition, and some even say that theyimprove your athletic performance or powers of concentration. But once the effects have gone you’re mostlygetting a big dose of sugar and caffeine. So is it a good idea to eat or drink these products

Know the negative side. !n occasional power drink or food bar is probably "#. But here are some facts to

keep in mind about food bars or energy drinks.They contain excessive sugar and calories. $id you know that some energy bars and drinks containhundreds of calories %hat may be "# for athletes who burn lots of calories in high&intensity activities, likecompetitive cycling. But for many teens the extra sugar and calories ust contribute to obesity and tooth decay.
