“…Indeed, the inclusion of warning labels on these types of food items has been highlighted as a potential mechanism to deter consumption [ 40 , 41 ]. It could also be that adolescents are looking specifically to consume caffeinated beverages, and since energy drinks are heavily marketed on social media, adolescents tend to choose them for consumption over other beverages [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. Moving forward, it is worth identifying such foods in future research, so that we can understand the limits of nutrition labels as a mechanism of behavioral nutrition-related choices and explore ways to encourage adolescents to choose healthier options.…”

Background: Nutrition labels are a tool to inform and encourage the public to make healthier food choices, but little information is available about use in multi-ethnic adolescent populations in the U.S. The purpose of this study was to examine associations between the level of nutrition label usage and healthy/unhealthy eating behaviors among a statewide representative sample of 8th and 11th-grade students in Texas. Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional associations between the Nutrition Facts label use and eating behaviors from a statewide sample of 8th and 11th-grade students in Texas, (n = 4730, weighted n = 710,731, mean age = 14.7 ± 1.6 years; 49% female, 51% Hispanic), who completed the 2019–2020 Texas School Physical Activity and Nutrition (TX SPAN) survey. Students self-reported their level of nutrition label usage to make food choices (5-point Likert scale from “Never” to “Always”) and previous day consumption of 26 food items (13 healthy, 13 unhealthy). The 26 food items were used to calculate a Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score (0–100), a Healthy Foods Index (HFI) score (0–100), and an Unhealthy Foods Index (UFI) score (0–100). Weighted linear regression models were employed to examine the associations between self-reported use of nutrition labels to make food choices and HEI, HFI, and UFI scores. Marginal predicted means of HEI, HFI, and UFI scores were calculated post hoc from linear regression models. The odds of consuming specific individual food items for nutrition label usage were also calculated from weighted logistic regression models. All linear and logistic regression models were adjusted for grade, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), race/ethnicity, economic disadvantage, and percentage of English language learners by school. Results: A total of 11.0% of students reported always/almost always using nutrition labels to make food choices, 27.9% reported sometimes using them, while 61.0% indicated they never/almost never used nutrition labels to make food choices. The average HEI score among students in the sample was 47.7 ± 5.9. Nutrition Facts label usage was significantly and positively associated with HEI (b = 5.79, 95%CI: 4.45, 7.12) and HFI (b = 7.28, 95%CI:4.48, 10.07), and significantly and negatively associated with UFI (b = −4.30, 95%CI: −6.25, −2.34). A dose–response relationship was observed between nutrition label usage and HEI, HFI, and UFI scores, such that the strength of these associations increased with each one-point increase in nutrition label usage. Students who reported using nutrition labels always/almost always to make food choices had significantly higher odds of consuming healthy foods including baked meat, nuts, brown bread, vegetables, whole fruit, and yogurt (ORrange = 1.31–3.07), and significantly lower odds of consuming unhealthy foods including chips, cake, candy, and soda (ORrange = 0.48–0.68) compared to students who reported never/almost never using the Nutrition Facts label. Conclusions: Using the Nutrition Facts labels to make food choices is beneficially associated with healthy and unhealthy eating among 8th and 11th-grade students, although the proportion of students using nutrition labels to make their food choices was low. Public health efforts should be made to improve nutrition literacy and encourage nutrition label use among secondary students in the United States.

Background The consumption of energy drinks (EDs) among university students has become a prevalent trend, raising concerns about potential health risks. EDs are beverages containing various ingredients, most notably caffeine, taurine, and vitamins, that are consumed by the general public and athletes to reduce exhaustion, boost energy, and improve performance. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of ED consumption and evaluate the effects of ED use on cardiovascular health and behavioral patterns in a sample of students at the University of Zakho. Methods This cross-sectional study involved a sample of 438 medical students aged 18-25 at the University of Zakho. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire assessing socio-demographic characteristics, ED consumption habits, awareness of ED-related health risks, and cardiovascular measures such as blood pressure, pulse rate, presence of chest pain, and palpitation. Results The prevalence of consuming caffeine-content EDs was surprisingly high (70%, n=307) among the University of Zakho's medical students. Further categorization revealed that the prevalence was 42% (n=187) among low-frequency drinkers, 22.2% (n=95) among those who drank once a day, and 5.8% (n=25) among the frequent group. A higher percentage of ED drinkers (30%, n=92) developed tachycardia compared to students with a normal pulse (19.2%, n=59). Additionally, ED drinkers had significantly higher rates of elevated blood pressure (56.4%, n=173), palpitations (63.1%, n=194), and chest discomfort (73.2%, n=225) compared to non-drinkers (p <0.0001). Concerning behavioral characteristics, ED drinkers had a significantly higher rate of fatigability (79.3%, n=243) compared to non-drinkers (p <0.0001). They were more likely to experience somnolence (60.8%, n=187) compared to non-drinkers (p <0.05). Furthermore, the percentage of students with aggressive behavior was substantially higher (p <0.001) among ED drinkers (86.2%, n=265). Conclusion The findings collectively highlight the significant negative impact of energy drink consumption on health in general and cardiovascular and behavioral variables in particular. It also underscores the need for public health strategies and campus interventions to reduce ED consumption and raise awareness about their potential risks.
