1A - In Good Health: The Effect of Energy Drinks On Children And Adolescents

It's back to school season, which means America's students are back to studying. And some kids are turning to energy drinks to handle their workload.

But energy drinks aren't the same as your morning cup of coffee. In one serving, there's way more caffeine and other ingredients to enhance the "energizing" effect. But that's nothing new. They've been around for years, with flashy branding and the promise of a quick jolt of activity. But they might not be the healthiest option for those of us whose bodies are just beginning to develop.

Doctors advise against children drinking them, yet between 30 and 50 percent of adolescents do.

For this installment of our "In Good Health" series, we break down down what exactly an energy drink is and how they interact with the bodies of young people.

Consider This from NPR - Wrongfully imprisoned for decades, Ben Spencer is exonerated

In 1988, Ben Spencer was sentenced to life in prison for a brutal robbery and murder he has always insisted he did not commit.

Spencer spent the next 34 years in prison, dashing off letters almost every day to his wife, his friends, lawyers, to anyone who would listen, claiming his innocence.

In 2021, he was officially released from prison. But on Thursday, he was officially exonerated.

We hear about his life after decades behind bars — and his faith that one day, the truth would prevail.
