What's in that drink?

  The weather is getting hotter and you'll be getting thirstier playing basketball or riding home from school.A cold drink may be just the thing.But be careful about what you pour down your throat.Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

  There are plenty of so-called energy drinks on the market.Most of them have an attractive color and cool name.Their nutrition lists also contain various things from vitamins to ginseng.Sounds great!
