Some sites I recommend based on studies and some other cool blogs to read

Here are some sites I found while doing some research. Enjoy!

http://www.energydrinksblog.com/

I’ve never seen a web site that rates qualities of energy drinks until I saw this one. It rates all of the well known energy drinks and lots that I’ve never seen before. The blog is running for its third year, but the administrator has been inconsistent updating it. I would assume that he has trends where he either writes posts somewhat regularly or doesn’t at all.  The posts describe the positives and negatives of each drink. The posts also have the nutrition facts and the drink’s website. If I am ever curious about an energy drink this blog would be one of the first ones I would go to.

            This blog focuses on caffeine in food and drinks. It’s very interesting because in a lot of the foods we eat, we don’t even realize that there are energy supplements in them. It also covers other popular culture with caffeinated products. I enjoy looking into the lists about energy drinks. The site also informs of some health risks I didn’t know about. My favorite part of the site is the “Death By Caffeine” function, which I’ve already blogged about. It shows how much of a certain food or drink it takes to kill someone. It’s probably not scientifically proven but it’s a fun thing to waste some time on.

            I have searched for a very long time to find a blog like this one. It’s very difficult to find a blog those talks about adderall. Sadly this blogger only has one post about it, but the post is a diary about his break from taking the drug. The blogger has ADD like I do. I can strongly relate to the symptoms he felt from his break. I regularly take breaks from it in order to lose the tolerance I gain from it.

            Many study drugs were originally used for weight loss. Eventually most of these drugs became only people with ADD and ADHD. Although they are quickly growing in use by people who don’t have a prescription it’s always good to remember what their intended use is. This site covers everything from dealing with attention deficit disorder to the backgrounds to all of the drugs and treatments. The site seems like a great guide for anyone learning to deal with attention deficit disorder or just getting used to life on study drugs.

I find blog posts to be friendlier and more personal than real articles. This blog site takes everything from a site that explains ADD and drugs that fight it but puts it much friendlier. It is also very well updated on recalled drugs and how to manage the medication. I wish sites like this were much more visible because it took way more digging than necessary to find this. It has relevant information that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else.

I found a directory that puts to together many different questions, statements, and ideas about Ritalin and adderall. There are many ideas that are really interesting. I’m mainly interested in how they compared study drugs are compared to marijuana. The post says that both drugs are gate way drugs. I’m fascinated by this because marijuana is now being acquired legally as are study drugs. It makes me wonder if the perspective of study drugs and marijuana will one day trade places.

            Before energy drinks started to take over as the main source for keeping people energized coffee was the main source people would use for extra energy. This blog examines ideas about coffee, health benefits of coffee, and even videos of people making coffee. I haven’t been a heavy coffee drinker since the beginning of high school but this blog may be the one that could bring me and even readers back to drinking this hot drink.

http://noedb.org/library/features/50_ways_to_boost_your_energy_without_caffeine

            This is a great site to look at for anyone that wants an energy boost without drinking anything caffeinated. It shows 50 ways for someone to boost their energy. I highly recommend this site for anyone that wants to get away from a nasty caffeine addiction. The methods all seem to follow the theme of a healthy lifestyle.
I also enjoyed reading these blogs

Effects of Drugs and Misuses vividly shows all of the consequences of illegal drugs. The blog shows how dangerous drugs can be. The blog has links that give a lot of information about the drugs. The blog also has several posts that give examples of how stupid people can really be when they are high. This blog interested me because my blog’s goal is to talk about controversial study drugs and energy drinks.

            I am a huge sports fan and my roommate has ESPN on 24 hours a day. The blogger is a Yankees fan and I am a diehard Yankees fan. That easily makes this a blog I would recommend. In addition the blog is in depth with facts and fun to read. I will definitely keep up with this blog.

            I thought this blog was cool because it focuses on current events in the news and government. The blogger has so far talked about the election, 9/11 and the mosque that will be built near by the world trade center site, and the immigration laws in Arizona. He has also promised to talk about healthcare, bailouts, gay rights, the tea party, and other relevant topics in the near future. I’m excited to see what he has to say.
