Caffeine
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience of a popular stimulant that contributes to many Americans daily lives.
Central Idea/Thesis Statement:
Today I will be informing you about caffeine, and extravagant drug that most Americans cannot live without. At the end of this speech, I hope that you have learned three things: what is caffeine, how does it work in our body, and what are the pros and cons of caffeine consumption.
INTRODUCTION
I. Attention Getter- We have all heard the saying “The early bird gets the worm”, however, as we all know it’s easier said than done, especially when your body is begging you for more sleep. As college students, most of us can relate to that one class that’s early in the morning or keeps us awake studying …show more content…
Caffeine Citrate- is a medication that is used to treat apnea prematurity, which is a breathing problem that occurs in most premature infants.
3. Aspirin- is a medication that is also used to alleviate fever, headache, toothache etc.
3. SUB-SUBPOINT- Additionally, caffeine can improve the lifestyle of people with asthma. 1. According to an article that was published in 2010, studies suggested that caffeine mimics the action of a bronchodilator (substance that dilates airways), and as a result the airways dilate and enhance the lungs function (Welsh, Bara, Barley, Cates, 2010).
C. SUBPOINT1 – While so studies have found that caffeine is beneficial , many studies have found that caffeine has its down side For example: 1.SUB-POINT: In a study researchers found that mothers who consume certain amount of caffeine affect their offspring in such way that “their new-borns were lower birthweight, they spend less time in REM sleep, and they showed more stress behaviours including hiccups, tremors, and jerkiness” ( Diego,41) 1. Similarly, another study found that caffeine is able to pass through the plasma membrane of the placenta and affect the fetus growth due to its hydrophobic properties that allows the passage in the blood cells (Fredholm, Bättig, Holmen, Nehlig& …show more content…
SUB-SUBPOINT- Moreover, the consumption of caffeine can become addictive.
1. A study showed that the withdrawal of caffeine caused Fatigue, low alertness, mood swings, low sociability, nausea, flu like symptoms, and headaches (Juliano, Huntley, Harrell, and Westerman, 2012). 3. SUB-POINT: Lastly caffeine consumption can damage internal organs. 1. According to an article, Peptic Ulcers and Caffeine, a study conducted by researchers Roth, Ivy and Atikinson found that caffeine intake increased the secretion of acidity enhances the ability of H. Pylori bacteria to attack the lining of the intestines( Peptic Ulcer and Caffeine ,1945; Roth, Ivy and Atikinson,1944).
CONCLUSION
I. [Signal conclusion] – As can we can see, although caffeine is part of our daily life’s, we tend to never talk about the importance of this stimulant because it serves its purpose.
II. [Summarize Central Idea –However, now that you know what caffeine is, how it works in our body and what are the pros and cons to this stimulant, you can have a better understanding of why caffeine is a popular drug that most American consume on a daily basis.
