Caffeine addiction has become a real and widespread problem. You may not believe it but researchers say that regular caffeine usage creates a physical dependence. Ronald Griffiths, a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, has conducted many experiments and completed lots of research on this issue. He has proven that caffeine is addictive and can produce withdrawal symptoms, he considers it a mental disorder. Ultimately, what is at stake here is your health. Caffeine, like other drugs of addiction has health threats. About 80% of the world's population uses caffeine on a daily basis(Medicinenet.com).
I'm one of the 80%, that's for sure. I think caffeine is a good topic for the second essay.
ReplyDeleteI like your blogs so far. The pictures show me that you understand the readings. I do have a question about your response to Schlosser. Why not ban advertising that's geared to children under 12? They have no purchasing power. The only reason ads are geared to them is to get them to nag their parents. If we're all about personal and parental responsibility in this country, why do we allow corporations to make it so difficult to raise their children? The ads make the corporations out to be the good guys while mom and dad have to play the bad cop.
