Energy drinks- boosting energy, but boosting health risks?

Cities, schools target energy drinks: "Health concerns are prompting proposals to restrict the sale of highly caffeinated energy drinks.

Chicago Alderman Ed Burke last month introduced an ordinance that would ban the sale of energy drinks that contain 180 milligrams of caffeine and two other substances. That would end sales of many 24-ounce energy drinks.

A hearing on Burke's proposal has not been scheduled, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel has not said whether he supports it."
