Army warns of new threat: Energy drinks

But if you read the article what the real threat seems to be is sugar.

The US military is warning against the danger of troops over consuming energy drinks, saying it could do "some serious harm to your body."

A post on the pentagon's official science blog this week details the health risks involved, citing a report that found soldiers in the field were more likely to fall asleep on duty if they consumed multiple beverages a day.
The study by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, titled "Energy drink consumption and its association with sleep problems among US service members on a combat deployment," looked at data from over 1,000 soldiers and Marines conducting operations in Afghanistan in 2010.
The research found that nearly 45 percent of deployed military personnel consumed at least one energy drink daily, while nearly 14 percent reported drinking three or more per day.
"These products generally are unregulated and can have negative side effects," the report said. "Those who drank three or more drinks a day also were more likely to report sleep disruption related to stress and illness and were more likely to fall asleep during briefings or on guard duty."

"That sugar film" is a six week experiment on what sugar did to a person under doctor's observation.

I'm told it's surprising how quickly he got into trouble physically.

It's on Amazon Prime if you have that.

HAPPY NEW YEAR MATIES!

Reminder: people won't necessarily remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel. Hope is a good feeling.

Telling a wide swath of people they're deplorable and irredeemable? not so much.

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile acknowledged Sunday that President-elect Trump ran an effective, non-traditional campaign against Hillary Clinton, in large part because he had a consistent message.

"You have to give credit to the campaign that had a consistent message, 100 percent of the time, make America great," she said on ABC News. "A slogan that became the message that became the song. And when you got a song, you got a melody."

This guy is mistaken. This happened because they deemed V. Putin to have become a serious threat to the Democrat Party.

It's great that the White House and major media have seemingly come around to the idea that Russia poses a serious threat to the United States. But did it really take the Democrats losing a presidential election for them to say it out loud?

Fake news has been around for a while, MFM.

NewsBusters has had a "Fake News" tag virtually since its inception. It has been used over 320 times in the past 10-plus years. That total certainly does not represent all of the times NB authors could justifiably have used the tag, but didn't, as they demonstrated the faked nature of media reports.

Only about 20 of those "Fake News"-tagged entries at NewsBusters currently relate to the press's and the left's recent post-election attempts to find some reason, any reason, to water down the perceived legitimacy of Donald Trump's November 8 victory. The other 300-plus "Fake News" entries at NewsBusters cover all manner of media malfeasance over the past decade, and richly merit their "Fake News" tag.

Too.. Many.. Tamales..

Does this tamale make me look fat?

Meanwhile: experts.

A NEW YEAR dawns, and you know what that means: Insiders, pundits, and gurus will spend the next 12 months making confident predictions that turn out to be spectacularly wrong.

Speaking of prognostications...tho, hey now! I'm not a rootless assassin!

Syria I suspect 2017 might see a huge defeat and reduction of success for Islamic State. The evil organisation is in greater turmoil than might appear from incidents such as the Berlin Christmas Fair massacre. With their capital-city hinterland gone this disgusting terror group becomes another rootless band of assassins.We have seen them before: PLO, Fatah, Baader-Meinhof, Red Brigades, Black September, Red Army Faction, IRA.

Fake News - it has been around since before the Trojans believed that wooden horse was a peace offering.
