milligrams of caffeine.
* Emergency-room visits related to energy
drinks jumped from 1,128 in 2005 to
13,114 in 2009.

* The benefits of sports drinks are meager
at best, especially when compared with
plain water, the original sports drink.
* When athletes sweat enough to shed
large quantities of salt, sports drinks may
not help much.

before, during or after physical activity
can lead to potentially fatal water
intoxication.
