In this experiment, there was a variety of materials used. The materials needed for this experiment are:

• Blood Glucose Test
• 9, 8.4 oz cans of Red Bull
• 9, 8.4 oz cans of Coca-Cola
• 9, 8.4oz glasses of Kool-Aid
• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Stop watch

Methods:
This experiment was developed through the debate of which drink increases blood sugar more. Over the past years, it has been a controversial topic if juice, soda, or energy drinks raise your blood sugar more. To complete this experiment, three or more people are recommended. To start the experiment, the index finger of each individual must be sterilized with Hydrogen Peroxide to prevent bacteria from entering the body. Next, use a Blood Glucose Test to find the accurate blood sugar levels of each member participating in the experiment. After, they will drink a can of Red Bull that is 8.4oz. Finally, when they are done consuming use a stop watch and set it for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes are completed, use the Hydrogen Peroxide to again sterilize the finger and use the Blood Glucose Test to measure their blood sugar levels. Repeat the same steps twice every few hours. Over the next two days, the processes will be repeated for Coca-Cola and Kool-Aid. Results: …show more content…

The data did support this hypothesis. Coca-Cola raised blood sugar by 94 mg/dl. Even though Kool-Aid contained the most sugar, which was 200 grams, it didn’t have High Fructose Corn Syrup. High Fructose Corn syrup is very similar to honey and sugar and it has the same effect. This experiment will help show people what they should and shouldn’t indulge themselves in. They will also have better attention on ways to maintain appropriate blood sugar, as well as learn how to consume in

  • Pros and Cons of High Fructose Corn Syrup

    1762 Words  | 4 Pages

    High-fructose corn syrup is a commonly used artificial sweetener in foods. High-fructose corn syrup is a hydrolyzed version of ordinary corn syrup, which is produced via a steeping process. It is so widely used because it is both economically favorable and it helps to preserve food for extended periods of time. However, the drawbacks of high-fructose corn syrup include issues like potential obesity, diabetes, loss of liver function, malnutrition, and cancer. The fact that the producers of high-fructose corn syrup can deceive people that HFCS is harmless makes matters worse.

    The goal of this experiment is to see if more college students prefer Diet Coke or a bargain brand Diet Coke. A single blind taste test was given to everyone in the class to determine which soda they like better. A Bernoulli distribution was used to determine which brand was conducted to each participant first. This process insures that the samples given to the subjects are random as possible and to cut any bias. The participants were given the two random samples and were asked to tell which was liked better. The results of this test were recorded then analyzed. From the data, the statistic of people who preferred the Bargain brand was 6/20. This means that the majority of the subjects preferred the real Coke brand over the Bargain brand. A hypothesis test was conducted to test the hypothesis that Diet Coke and a Bargain brand coke are equally

  • High Fructose Corn Syrup

    584 Words  | 2 Pages

    Obesity in America has risen dramatically in the last forty years. Many believe high fructose corn syrup is to blame for this and other health related issues like diabetes and high blood pressure. High fructose corn syrup was invented by Richard O. Marshall and Earl R. Kooi in 1957 (Production of high fructose corn syrup). Scientists have done tests and many reports and found many statistics showing the same thing: once high fructose corn syrup (or HFCS) was added to food and beverages in 1975, obesity rose without warning. The U.S. has the highest obesity rate in the world: “roughly two-thirds of adults and one-third of young people in the U.S. are now overweight or obese” (McMillen). That’s a massive amount, and it’s growing at a steady pace with little sign of ending any time soon. We also eat more mass produced food than any other country in the world. High fructose corn syrup has taken over the food market and has found its way to almost all of our food and drinks.

    Drinking Diet Coke leads to reduced calorie intake, which in turn, does not cause weight gain. The marketers of Coca Cola illustrate this in their most recent advertisement. Coca Cola 's "Regret Nothing" advertisement for Diet Coke presents a snapshot of two women who appear to be at a pool party. This is apparent because they are sitting on the side of a pool laughing as someone splashes them. The viewer can assume that the weather is warm and pleasant by the amount of skin that the girls ' dresses show and the fact that they are in a pool. It is evident that the two women are having a good time by their expressions. The marketing department of Coca Cola uses multiple visual aids to suggest that if an individual drinks Diet Coke, he or she

  • Persuasive Essay On Sugar Consumption

    1957 Words  | 4 Pages

    Surveys have shown that sugar-sweetened beverages are the primary source of added sugar in our diets. According to a Coca-Cola history website, the soft-drinks’ bottle sizes have been enlarged drastically over the past 40 years, basically meaning that we are drinking more soft drinks than ever. As an example, half of the population in the US consume sugary drinks every day, in which about 25 percent gain at least 200 calories from these drinks. Sugary drinks are also the top calorie source in teen’s diets, increasing the risk of diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart problems from an early stage. It is a significant factor that leads to obesity, so I believe resisting these sugary drinks and promoting healthier products could definitely assist the goal of elevating the number of a healthy

    The American Heart Association (AHA) among other experts worldwide have made consistent recommendations regarding daily sugar intake however research has provided evidence that the American population surpasses these recommendations putting their health at risk. These recommendations include limiting added sugar to “6 tsps (25 g) for women, 9 tsps (38 g) for men”, and limiting added sugar intake for children to “Range between 3-6 teaspoons (12 - 25 grams) per day” (UCSF,2014). However, data collected by the Department of health and Human services and the Centers for Disease Control and prevention suggests that “The average American consumes 19.5 teaspoons (82 grams) every day” (Ervin et al. 2013). The US Department of Agriculture translates this to “About 66 pounds of added sugar consumed each year, per person” (USDA,

  • Coca Cola Ethical Issues

    1320 Words  | 3 Pages

    Coca-Cola is the largest beverage company in the world. They distribute their beverage products in more than 200 countries, servicing the citizens of those countries. Their drinks have become a common part of many people’s diets and servicing this large amount of people can raise awareness on the safety of their consumers when drinking their products. This is especially true with the current rise of obesity spreading throughout the world, more specifically in the United States. According to stateofobesity.org, “Nationally, nearly 38 percent of adults are obese. Nearly 8 percent are extremely obese” (n.d). Also, there has been numerous studies reported by actiononsugar.org that confirms “the link between sugars-sweetened beverages and increased obesity” (n.d). This is particularly important due to the ethical issues that arise around The Coca-Cola Company and their role and responsibility in all of this. Many individuals might see the correlation between the two, as Coca-Cola produces their beverages with large amounts of sugar. One 21 fl oz cup of Coca-Cola contains 44 grams of sugar. In fact, according to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day for men is 37.5 grams and for women it is 25 grams (Gunnars, 2017). Recently, Coca-Cola has found themselves in a controversial debacle where they have been

    regional bloc. These brands include Azam energy drink and Lavita soft drink from Uganda which are taking up the market share traditionally controlled by Coca cola company products. Further, Coca cola bottling companies in Uganda and Tanzania enjoy lower taxes in their countries making their products more affordable unlike their counterparts in Kenya, and this has led to transshipments from those countries leading to intra bottler’s competition. Another factor contributing to the proliferation of brands within the local market is the influx of cheap imports from countries in the Asian continent. This has introduced even more brands in an already overcrowded market. Therefore, this means that the soft drink industry is one of the sectors of the
