Dudley, MA (WBZ Newsroom) -- The Boston Globe reports today that more and more school districts in Massachusetts are saying no to high energy drinks . In June the Dudley-Charleton school district banned the drinks in the middle school and at school sponsored activities.
Now the King Phillip regional school district has rewritten its student handbook discouraging the consumption of the so-called high octane drinks. King Phillip's decision stems from an incident last winter when a student became sick after drinking several cans of an energy drink on a school trip.
And in Dudley Charlton officials said middle school students were bouncing of the walls because of energy drinks and crashing later in the morning. the drinks contain lots caffeine, sugar and other stimulants.

Did Tom Watson's Energy Drink on 18 Tee Cost Him the Open
Did Tom Watson's Energy Drink on 18 Tee Cost Him the Open
Diary Entry by Karen Fish
In December of 2007 Nobel Laureate Al Gore gave an interview to Time Magazine in which he said, "When I was in the Snow and Ice Data Center, receiving a full briefing on the polar ice caps, afterwards I would turn on my TV and there were two networks with the bulletin: "Britney Spears loses custody of her children." We're living in a madhouse if our priorities focus on the embalming of Anna Nicole Smith, or the trial of OJ Simpson, while we ignore the greatest crisis this nation has ever faced."
Obviously Al Gore is not a golfer, nor a ratings expert, nor a psychiatrist versed in the intricacies of denial. Golf is like life only on a larger scale. Yesterday Tom Watson stood on 18 tee and the camera zoomed in on him taking a red drink from a plastic bottle and Paul Azinger said, "My palms are sweaty and Tom Watson is taking a drink of his energy drink." This would be like Mark McGwire coming to the plate to break the Sultan of Swat's home run record, calling for time and injecting himself with steroids. The DEA announced this morning that they are suspending their inquiry into Dr. Conrad Murray to focus on the chemical makeup of Tom Watson's energy drink on the eighteenth tee at Turnberry in Scotland, located by the Island of Firth and the Sea of Fescue.
The eternal mystery argued in bars worldwide has always been, "Would Cassius Clay have defeated Max Schmeling?" "Would Jack Nicklaus have defeated Bobby Jones?" "Would Paris Hilton have defeated Dr. Renee Richards?" Mike Tirico announced that Stewart Cink had more followers on Twitter than Lady Gaga but is Stewart Cink a hermaphrodite?
Tom Watson stood on 18 tee, took out his disco stick and bombed a monstrous drive dead center and the baby boomers wept with joy. His ball laying in the middle of the fairway, nestled gently on a grassy knoll, 187 yards from the flag, victory seemed all but certain. The legendary Mr. Watson had come straight out of the history books to deal Tiger Woods the knockout blow. Just when the world was focused on who was the greatest golfer of all time, Tiger or The Golden Bear, Thomas was on the verge off eclipsing them both.
Now the moment of truth. Tom Watson stood over his ball, in the middle of the fairway, 187 yards from the hole, 8 iron in hand. The green was huge, long and wide, a simple target, with no trouble in front. The only trouble was long, where there was a falloff slope. Tom hit the shot. Paul Azinger said, "He nuked it!" The ball headed right for the flag, landed short of the pin, and then bounded over the green, rolled down the slope and just into the rough. Tom putted 8 feet by and then hit the yippiest shankiest most viagra ridden putt in the history of golf coming back.
Now the question arises that will be debated forever or until the Nuclear Apocalypse in the next few months. How did a 60 year old nuke an 8 iron over 200 yards to blow the Open Championship?
In 2007 Tom Watson wrote an article for Golf Digest Magazine. Tom said, "Nutrition plays an important part in performing your best. You want to have enough energy to get through a round without fatigue or dehydration. My snacks of choice on the course are trail mix and an orange. I also like to keep hydrated in warm weather with a sports drink, diluted with water so it sustains my energy without giving me highs and lows."
The temperature as Tom stood in the 18th fairway 8 iron in hand was 55 degrees. Hot fun in the summertime. Had Tom taken out a 9 iron from 187 Bruce Edwards would have thrown a lightning bolt at Tom from heaven. Tom's drive on 18 was 274 yards. We aren't talking John Daly here. We're talking about a 60 year old who had a new hip inserted in October, 187 yards from the hole. Why did the 8 iron go over 200 yards?
PureSport Sports Drinks are endorsed by Michael Phelps, the bonging dolphin. If George Bush admits to being an alcoholic, if Bill Clinton admits to smoking marijuana, if Barack Obama admits to smoking marijuana and snorting cocaine, we put them in the White House. If Jane Public admits smoking marijuana at her trial for smoking pot, we put her in jail with another 1 million Americans and throw away the key. Why is it permissible for politicians to intensify their climaxes but not for average people?
Why did Tom Watson nuke that 8 iron over the world? The answer may lie on the home page of PureSport Sports Drinks. In the bottom right hand corner watch the PureSport Training Video. It begins with 3 time Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer Brendan Hansen bursting off the blocks. In the middle of the video the narrator says, "Lots of sports drinks give a high rush and then a crash." The high rush would be the nuked 8 iron on 18 and the crash would be Tom Watson's Van de Veldian shaky wobbly punch drunk performace in the 4 hole playoff.
Paul Azinger said of the nuked 8 iron, "Tom's adrenaline must really have been pumping." Yes, Tom's adrenaline was pumping, but why? Could it have been the energy drink he drank on the 18th tee? Many a slip occurs between the cup and the lip.

Two Faces of Monster Energy Drink Side Effects—Ally or Enemy?
For those individuals who have tried Monster energy drink, for sure they have experienced its monstrous effect. Designed to replenish lost body energy, Monster energy drink is really a trusted ally when it comes to activities or task which requires thousands of calories to be used. Whether you are an athlete, student, or working man, such energy drink is relatively helpful when it comes to increasing your stamina and improving your performance, no matter how many calories your body is burning.
However, along with the growing popularity of Monster energy drinks to the market, there is also growing concerns over the potential side effects of taking it. Others are saying that there are ingredients in the energy drink, although considered to be a legal stimulant, which can create adverse effects once its intake is at large quantities.
In discussing the side effects of energy drinks (not just only Monster brand), there are two important concepts that you need to remember. These are as follows:
1. First concept is that every energy drink has its own side effects, based on the mixture of its ingredients. In the case of Monster energy drink, it has its own combination of ingredients that creates various side effects. Take a look on the following discussions:
a. Monster energy drinks has high levels of carbohydrate contents. It makes more difficult for the body to absorbed foods and necessary nutrients into the bloodstream. There are also cases where difficulty in absorbing food and nutrients results to distress and gastro-intestinal problems.
b. Since the absorption of nutrients is slower, there is a large chance that the fluid absorption rate of the body is also slower. Difficulty in natural re-hydration of the body during workouts can cause danger to his/her health. Athletes, who lose great quantities of fluids during games and practices, should be aware of this circumstance for they are one the target markets of Monster energy drink.
c. The sugar content of Monster energy drink poses certain side effects. It causes so-called laxative effect as well as sudden crash in energy level when sugar leaves the bloodstream. Although it is not necessarily a dangerous effect, but it can create other adverse effects.
d. Excessive intake of Monster energy drink can produce severe health problems. You are aware that one of the active ingredients of Monster is caffeine. Higher caffeine contents mean more energy it can give. Since caffeine is a stimulant, it can cause problems in your sleeping habits (insomnia) and can trigger several ailments such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
2. Side effects are not just about negative impacts. Remember that the boost of energy that Monster gives you is considered to be side effect already. The feeling of invigoration after exercising or doing a heavy-duty task is another side effect. Therefore, side effect can be both positive and negative.
Before taking Monster energy drink, you must be aware of the active ingredients as well as the side effects mentioned above. It will help you evaluate if energy drink is really meant for you. Studying the side effects as well as your health condition can assure you that you are on safe hands. Although it is a trusted ally in providing the increased energy for your body, it can also be your worst enemy as well.
The choice is yours to make.

Boil Carrots Whole for More Nutrients
One of the more intriguing news stories to catch my eye recently was a report on research that boiling carrots whole locks in more nutrients - especially falcarinol, an anti-cancer compound.
The study was led by Dr Kirsten Brandt of Newcastle University in the UK, and was presented at NutrEvent in France.
Dr Brandt, and colleagues from the University of Denmark, discovered the anti-cancer benefits of carrots four years ago (you can find details in Carrots may help ward off cancer).
Since then they have been looking into how to boost the carrot's cancer-fighting powers. Their studies revealed that:
* Heating carrots kills the cells, meaning they retain more water. This increases the concentration of falcarinol.
* However, the heating also softens the cell walls, meaning that sugar, vitamin C and falcarinol "leak" out of the carrot.
Apparently, the solution is to boil your carrots whole (which increases the amount of falcarinol by 25%), rather than chopping them before cooking:
If the carrot is cut before being boiled, the surface area becomes much greater - and so the loss of nutrients is increased.
If your mouth isn't quite as big as your pan, don't worry, you can chop your carrots once cooked without any nutrient loss.
Another bonus is that carrots boiled whole apparently taste better - they're sweeter as more sugar is retained.
So will you be investing in a bigger pan? Or, like me, do you think that the 25% increase in falcarinol could be achieved more easily by simply eating 25% more carrots?
Will extracting carrots for some nutritious drink be also nutritious?
