Lack of rest and great work loads have made Americans sleepy. Because of their sleepiness, they have grown dangerously dependent on caffeine. Their dependence is not what puts them ind danger, necessarily, but the lack of knowledge they have about the caffeinated products they are consuming. Many products have released caffeinated versions of chips, jellybeans, and gum to please consumers. Products, such as the Monster Energy Drink, contain faulty information about the amount of caffeine it contains. This has led to serious medical issues leading to hospitalization and even death. Many people have come together to take a look at America's potentially dangerous need for caffeine.
In her long article, Alexandra Sifferlin does her best to inform her readers about the high risks of consuming a ton of caffeine. Her purpose is to warn them of the faulty information around and the risks of caffeine dependence. Because her article is heavily informative, Sifferlin is very defendant on outside sources for information. She has many excerpts from interviews with about five different people on her topic. Her appeal to authority gives her article substance and credibility. Overall, the article is convincing and very persuasive.
