You could fill a store with all the energy drinks now
available. They promise to make people feel more energetic and think more
clearly. These products have names like Red Bull, Monster, Ripped Force, Speed
Stack and 5-Hour Energy. They appeal mainly to young people and are fueled
mainly by caffeine. Chad Reissig at Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore, Maryland, is a medical researcher who studies drug dependence.
He says the team he works on got interested in studying energy drinks
because of the explosion in their popularity in the last few years.
He says the researchers found three major things. One: there are hundreds
of brands of energy drinks in most major countries. Two: the drinks are not
clearly labeled with enough information. And three: the amount of caffeine
varies greatly. Some contain as little as fifty milligrams, others as much
as five hundred. By comparison, a cup of Starbucks brewed coffee contains
three hundred thirty milligrams in four hundred seventy- three
milliliters. Some energy drinks contain a mixture of ingredients
listed as an "energy blend." Ingredients like taurine, guarana and inositol are
natural substances. But Chad Reissig says scientists do not know a lot about
them and how they interact with each other and caffeine. And worse, he says,
there is no listing of the amount of each ingredient. Some
people combine energy drinks with alcohol. They think they can drink more
alcohol that way and not be affected. Studies, however, suggest that they are
still under the influence of the alcohol even if they do not feel that
way. Some makers of energy drinks do provide warnings. For
example, a popular energy shot warns against use by people who are pregnant,
nursing a baby or under the age of twelve. Energy shots are small bottles of
liquid. The directions also advise people to limit caffeine products and to
drink only half the bottle which is regarded as a moderate amount.
The team at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine published a report
in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence. They suggested better labeling with
the amount of caffeine and other ingredients clearly listed on the drink. The
researchers are continuing to study energy drinks. They are currently seeking
young people who have had an unpleasant experience after drinking them.

the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer
Sheet 2.The bacteria that cause a common food-borne
illness show low drug resistance in Australia, unlike similar strains from the
United States and Europe, a study has found. Scientists behind the finding say
Australia's de facto ban on certain antibiotics in poultry (家禽) and other
livestock helps explain why. In the study, researchers analyzed
samples of Campylobacter jejuni (空肠弯曲杆菌) bacteria from 585 patients in five
Australian states. Scientists found that only two percent of
the samples were resistant to ciprofloxacin (环丙沙星), one of the group of
antibiotics known as fluoroquinolonones. By contrast, 18 percent of
Campylobacter (弧形杆菌) samples in U.S. patients are immune to fluoroquinolonones,
which have been used in the U.S. to prevent or treat respiratory (呼吸的) disease
in poultry for a decade. The study, led by Leanne Unicomb, a
graduate student at Australian National University in Canberra, was published in
the May issue of the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. "The
findings add to the growing body of evidence suggestive of the problems of using
fluoroquinolonones in food-producing animals," Unicomb wrote in an
email. Campylobacter is the most common food-borne disease in
the U. S. and many other industrialized countries. People can
contract the pathogen (病原体) by consuming undercooked poultry or meat, raw milk,
or contaminated (被污染的) water. Symptoms include fever, vomiting,
and diarrhea (腹泻). In rare cases, the disease can trigger paralysis or
death. "In most industrial countries Campylobacter is more
commonly reported than Salmonella (沙门氏菌), a better-known cause of food
poisoning," Unicomb said. "The number of cases of Campylobacter has been on the
rise in Australia since the early 90's." In the U. S. , about
1.4 million people contracted Campylobacter infections last year, according to
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta,
Georgia. While the infection rate in the U. S. has dropped over
the last decade, the bacteria have grown more drug-resistant.
According to the CDC, surveys between 1986 and 1990 found no signs of resistance
to the antibiotics in U. S. Campylobacter infections. But by 1997, strains
resistant to the antibiotics accounted for 12 percent of human cases. In 2001
the figure climbed to 18 percent. Public health experts say
many factors contribute to Campylobacter's drug resistance; the widespread use
of fluoroquinolonones by U.S. poultry farmers over the past decade is one of
them. Fluoroquinolones were first approved for use in humans by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1986. In 1995 the FDA granted
poultry farmers' permission to use the drugs in livestock. Last year the FDA
banned the antibiotic from food-producing animals, citing the concerns raised by
public health experts over drug-resistant bacteria. Frederick
Angulo, an epidemiologist with the CDC, monitors the drug resistance of
food-borne pathogens in the U. S. food supply. "The people who are most likely
to get infected with food-borne diseases include the most vulnerable people in
the population—infants and young children and also the elderly," he said. He
says that Campylobacter infections are entirely preventable, as is the
bacteria's antibiotic resistance. "In many ways what's occurring with
Campylobacter is an indicator for a broader issue, which is...
antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the food supply," he said.
