NOTES FOR SLIDE #1
▪ There are so many commercials and advertisements about energy drinks and
supplemental nutritional drinks it is hard to decipher the truth from all the hype.
Therefore, I am here today to give you the straightforward information from
reputable sources on the information of each of these two different types of drinks.
SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL DRINKS
Drink Calories Fat (grams) Protein (grams) Carbohydrates
Boost high protein 240 6 15 33
Ensure high protein 230 6 12 31
Carnation Instant Breakfast 200 3 12 37
Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus 190 1 12 31
Orange Juice with 8 oz. yogurt 206 3.5 12 31
Information from www.health.Harvard.edu (2013) and Goodwin (2006) wwww.thedietchannel.com
NOTES FOR SLIDE #3
▪ Here are several examples of some of the most popular supplemental nutritional
drinks that are currently on the market. Most of these are marketed to the adult
and elderly population. I have included some nutritional information as well. I
included orange juice with yogurt so that you could see the comparison if you were
to choose the orange juice yogurt option for a snack instead of one the drinks. As
you can see, on average, the nutritional information is about the same across the
board with Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus having fewer calories and fat
(www.health.Harvard.edu (2013) and Goodwin (2006) www.thedietchannel.com).
What is important to remember is to look at the labels when out shopping and to
especially pay attention to the amount of sugar in each. In addition, you should pay
close attention to the ingredients listed on the labels. Some of these drinks contain
corn sweeteners, corn syrup, processed dairy and processed soy proteins (Bertoli, A.
2013 Retrieved from www.care2.com).
WHY DRINK A SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL DRINK?
▪ Loss of appetite
▪ Difficulty chewing
▪ Trouble preparing balanced meals
▪ Recovery from surgery or illness
▪ Trying to gain weight
▪ Kids need supplementation

NOTES FOR SLIDE #5
▪ As you can see, there are many different reasons people may drink supplemental
nutritional drinks. The reasons, as listed, range from lack of appetite to recovering
from an illness to children who may need supplementation. Whatever the reason
may be there are few things to keep in mind if you are going to consume one of
these types of drinks. As I previously mentioned, reading the labels for ingredients
and nutrient content is important. In addition, as registered dietician suggests, also
consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, 6-11 servings of grains daily, 2-3
low-fat or non-fat servings of dairy daily and 2-3 low-fat protein servings daily. Even
though you may be consuming a supplemental nutritional drink, it is still important
to follow the recommended dietary guidelines (Goodwin, K. 2006 Retrieved from
thedietchannel.com).
ENERGY DRINKS
▪ Most popular dietary supplement after
multivitamins
▪ Marketed to increase alertness and
enhance physical and mental
performance
▪ Term “energy drink” not recognized by
United States Food and Drug
Administration or United States
Department of Agriculture

NOTES FOR SLIDE #7
▪ The term energy drink was coined by the companies who make the drinks and is a
beverage that contains a combination of caffeine, Vitamin B, taurine and guarana. It
claims to provide the consumer with added energy (Heneman, K. et al. 2007
Retrieved from nutrition.ucdavid.edu) in addition to increasing alertness and
enhancing physical and mental performance (2016 Retrieved from nccih.nih.gov).
The term energy drink is not recognized by the FDA or the USDA currently in the
United States (Heneman, K. et al. 2007 Retrieved from nutrition.ucdavid.edu) .
According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, energy
drinks are the most popular product, aside from multivitamins, consumed by teens
and young adults in the United States (2016 Retrieved from nccih.nih.gov).

Information via Heneman, K. 2007 Retrieved from www.nutrition.ucdavis.edu
NOTES FOR SLIDE #9
▪ Here are just a few of the popular energy drinks and the amount of sugar and
caffeine each contains. As you can see, some of these drinks contain more than one
serving. For example, Monster XXL contains 3 servings, which equates to a total of
81 grams of sugar and 240 grams of caffeine in just the one drink. According to a
press release from 2015 from the World Health Organization, the recommended
daily intake for sugar is approximately 25 grams (2015 Retrieved from
www.who.int). As you can see, just one serving of ONE of these drinks exceeds that
limit. However, the Mayo Clinic has noted that consuming up to 400 mg of caffeine
per day is safe for healthy adults (2014 Retrieved from www.mayoclinic.org). There
are many unusual additional ingredients in energy drinks that make many claims
ranging from increasing fat metabolism to decreasing cholesterol. However, there is
no scientific data that support the majority of the claims made (Heneman, K. 2007
Retrieved from www.nutrition.ucdavis.edu).
WHAT TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION NOW?
▪ Health is four-dimensional and involves your mind,
body, spirit and emotions.
▪ Each person’s health is individualistic
▪ Be informed and know your facts
▪ Talk to your healthcare provider

NOTES FOR SLIDE #11
▪ Now that you have all this information, you may be asking yourself what you should you
do with it. An important thing to keep in mind is that health is more than just your
physical well-being and incorporates your mind, spirit and emotions as well. Therefore,
taking a look at all four aspects of your health before consuming one of these types of
drinks I discussed today is important. I think it is important to understand why you are
consuming one of these supplemental drinks and to fully understand how it will affect all
aspects of your health. Another important thing to keep in mind is that each person and
his or needs will be different from those of all others. Therefore, each situation and case
in which these drinks are consumed is completely different and may have different
health results for different people. As I mentioned before, reading the labels for both
ingredients and nutrient content is important. Along with knowing what those numbers
mean and what the daily recommendations are. It is also important to have discussions
with your healthcare provider, whoever that may be for you, about your supplements,
even if they just drinks, as these drinks affect your health just like anything else would.
What I hope you take away from this is information that will help you make a more
informed decision but will also leave you feeling more empowered to take your health
into your own hands and not fall victim to trends and advertisements.

  • 2. NOTES FOR SLIDE #1 ▪ There are so many commercials and advertisements about energy drinks and supplemental nutritional drinks it is hard to decipher the truth from all the hype. Therefore, I am here today to give you the straightforward information from reputable sources on the information of each of these two different types of drinks.
  • 3. SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL DRINKS Drink Calories Fat (grams) Protein (grams) Carbohydrates Boost high protein 240 6 15 33 Ensure high protein 230 6 12 31 Carnation Instant Breakfast 200 3 12 37 Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus 190 1 12 31 Orange Juice with 8 oz. yogurt 206 3.5 12 31 Information from www.health.Harvard.edu (2013) and Goodwin (2006) wwww.thedietchannel.com
  • 4. NOTES FOR SLIDE #3 ▪ Here are several examples of some of the most popular supplemental nutritional drinks that are currently on the market. Most of these are marketed to the adult and elderly population. I have included some nutritional information as well. I included orange juice with yogurt so that you could see the comparison if you were to choose the orange juice yogurt option for a snack instead of one the drinks. As you can see, on average, the nutritional information is about the same across the board with Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus having fewer calories and fat (www.health.Harvard.edu (2013) and Goodwin (2006) www.thedietchannel.com). What is important to remember is to look at the labels when out shopping and to especially pay attention to the amount of sugar in each. In addition, you should pay close attention to the ingredients listed on the labels. Some of these drinks contain corn sweeteners, corn syrup, processed dairy and processed soy proteins (Bertoli, A. 2013 Retrieved from www.care2.com).
  • 5. WHY DRINK A SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL DRINK? ▪ Loss of appetite ▪ Difficulty chewing ▪ Trouble preparing balanced meals ▪ Recovery from surgery or illness ▪ Trying to gain weight ▪ Kids need supplementation Photo from www.llivestrong .com (2015) Copyright 2015 livestrong.com
  • 6. NOTES FOR SLIDE #5 ▪ As you can see, there are many different reasons people may drink supplemental nutritional drinks. The reasons, as listed, range from lack of appetite to recovering from an illness to children who may need supplementation. Whatever the reason may be there are few things to keep in mind if you are going to consume one of these types of drinks. As I previously mentioned, reading the labels for ingredients and nutrient content is important. In addition, as registered dietician suggests, also consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, 6-11 servings of grains daily, 2-3 low-fat or non-fat servings of dairy daily and 2-3 low-fat protein servings daily. Even though you may be consuming a supplemental nutritional drink, it is still important to follow the recommended dietary guidelines (Goodwin, K. 2006 Retrieved from thedietchannel.com).
  • 7. ENERGY DRINKS ▪ Most popular dietary supplement after multivitamins ▪ Marketed to increase alertness and enhance physical and mental performance ▪ Term “energy drink” not recognized by United States Food and Drug Administration or United States Department of Agriculture Photo from www.alertnet.org 2013 Copyright 2013 alertnet.org
  • 8. NOTES FOR SLIDE #7 ▪ The term energy drink was coined by the companies who make the drinks and is a beverage that contains a combination of caffeine, Vitamin B, taurine and guarana. It claims to provide the consumer with added energy (Heneman, K. et al. 2007 Retrieved from nutrition.ucdavid.edu) in addition to increasing alertness and enhancing physical and mental performance (2016 Retrieved from nccih.nih.gov). The term energy drink is not recognized by the FDA or the USDA currently in the United States (Heneman, K. et al. 2007 Retrieved from nutrition.ucdavid.edu) . According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, energy drinks are the most popular product, aside from multivitamins, consumed by teens and young adults in the United States (2016 Retrieved from nccih.nih.gov).

  • 10. NOTES FOR SLIDE #9 ▪ Here are just a few of the popular energy drinks and the amount of sugar and caffeine each contains. As you can see, some of these drinks contain more than one serving. For example, Monster XXL contains 3 servings, which equates to a total of 81 grams of sugar and 240 grams of caffeine in just the one drink. According to a press release from 2015 from the World Health Organization, the recommended daily intake for sugar is approximately 25 grams (2015 Retrieved from www.who.int). As you can see, just one serving of ONE of these drinks exceeds that limit. However, the Mayo Clinic has noted that consuming up to 400 mg of caffeine per day is safe for healthy adults (2014 Retrieved from www.mayoclinic.org). There are many unusual additional ingredients in energy drinks that make many claims ranging from increasing fat metabolism to decreasing cholesterol. However, there is no scientific data that support the majority of the claims made (Heneman, K. 2007 Retrieved from www.nutrition.ucdavis.edu).
  • 11. WHAT TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION NOW? ▪ Health is four-dimensional and involves your mind, body, spirit and emotions. ▪ Each person’s health is individualistic ▪ Be informed and know your facts ▪ Talk to your healthcare provider Photo from www.heartwarmingcare.com 2014 Copyright 2014 heartwarmingcare.com
  • 12. NOTES FOR SLIDE #11 ▪ Now that you have all this information, you may be asking yourself what you should you do with it. An important thing to keep in mind is that health is more than just your physical well-being and incorporates your mind, spirit and emotions as well. Therefore, taking a look at all four aspects of your health before consuming one of these types of drinks I discussed today is important. I think it is important to understand why you are consuming one of these supplemental drinks and to fully understand how it will affect all aspects of your health. Another important thing to keep in mind is that each person and his or needs will be different from those of all others. Therefore, each situation and case in which these drinks are consumed is completely different and may have different health results for different people. As I mentioned before, reading the labels for both ingredients and nutrient content is important. Along with knowing what those numbers mean and what the daily recommendations are. It is also important to have discussions with your healthcare provider, whoever that may be for you, about your supplements, even if they just drinks, as these drinks affect your health just like anything else would. What I hope you take away from this is information that will help you make a more informed decision but will also leave you feeling more empowered to take your health into your own hands and not fall victim to trends and advertisements.
