Caffeine Craze

Abstract

The purpose of the experiment was to compare and contrast the differences between energy drinks. The goal was to find out which energy drink, out of the three that were chosen, would be the healthiest to drink while still retaining its energetic effect. Not just that, but the hypothesis was that Monster would be the one to increase one’s blood pressure the most out of the 3 energy drinks that were chosen. The procedures that were used were to monitor the blood pressure before drinking the caffeine, drink the caffeine and wait a certain amount of time before monitoring our blood pressure once more, then monitor our blood pressure after drinking the caffeine, and lastly drink the rest of the caffeine and repeat the process one more time. The data includes the numbers of the blood pressure and which energy drink caused it to have that effect. Before the caffeine, the blood pressures were at 112/60 (Celsius), 120/73 (Monster), and 101/62 (Nos). After half of the can, the blood pressures rose to 112/73 (Celsius), 124/86 (Monster), and 104/68 (Nos). After the whole can, the results ended with 115/87 (Celsius), 132/95 (Monster), and 110/68 (Nos). After the data results, the conclusion was that Monster raised the subject’s blood pressure the most out of the 3 energy drinks, which proves the hypothesis right. The information gathered before the project had started were the nutrition facts of each individual energy drink that were chosen.
