What's New in Health Promotion

Energy Drink Health Concerns and the RMCC Campaign, “Powered By Me”

If you are in the Canadian Forces (CF), support the Forces or are a parent of a soldier, this interview will be of interest to you. In November the PE Manager, Kelly Lupton, and Varsity Fencing Coach, Patricia Howes, sat down with CFB Kingston Health Promotion Manager and Registered Dietitian, Nicole Houghtaling, to discuss our Department’s questions regarding energy drinks. Of particular interest were the negative health concerns in the news referencing the consumption of energy drinks AND the increased use of energy drinks by young adults for its alleged stimulant effect during busy study times and when mixed with alcohol during social times. | More |
