Biology experiment

[LiNcK]

Hey guys, I have been doing an experiment for my Biology class lately.


It consists of drinking ONLY one kind of beverage for 3 days & Measure body status (Temp, Pulse, Heartbeat, Etc) and also test performance in certain excersises. (Running speed, Memory, Endurance, Etc)
The experiment goes as follows:

Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking water
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking water (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking sprite
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking sprite (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking coffee
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking coffee (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking milk
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking milk (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking juice
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking juice (For 3 days)
Make essay
(Hypothesis, Conclusion of what drink does what, What I measured, What I used to measure those things, What I tested, What I used to test those things, Diagrams showing the results, Comparition of the results)

Im going to compare all the drinks to water & Also compare all the BEFORE-AFTER results. But I ran into some trouble: I need a hypothesis.
I tried googling what the effects are of each drink but I couldent find any studies/experiments were I can find this information.
I found 2 things that are kinda close: Effects of coffee & Effects of soft drinks

Anybody knows where to find the rest (& better versions of the ones I found)? I would really appreciate it if you could find any. Ive bee searching for hours now but nothing :SSS

Try researching the ingredients

[HurricaneAndrew]

You should do it with cocaine for a day.

[LiNcK]

Try researching the ingredients

I will do that soon but Im trying to find complete stuff (For Sprite & Stuff atleast... It would be hard looking up all the ingreadients to know all the effects it could have)

The ones that have the most effect are citric acid, sugar, sweeteners (particularly saccharin, a common ingredient of cordial juice) and caffeine

Also, looking up the effects of milk is not good for your brain. There's a lot of conflicting sh** there

Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking sprite
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking sprite (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally

RESULTS:
1. teeth fall out
2. get type 2 adult onset diabeetus

shame you haven't got tea up there... I drink tea every day and nothing else

For the sake of your health, I would drink water first AND last so you could wash out the toxins in your body from the experiment. Between tests, I would also take an Epsom Salt bath (a warm bath with 1 cup of Epsom Salt mixed in the water for ~30 minutes) to get rid of lactic acid in your muscles (this would eliminate muscle aches which may mess up your physical tests).

Biologist in training here.

Be sure to drink exactly the same type of water, only one soft drink, only one brand and strength of coffee, only one brand and product of fruit juice, and only one brand of milk during the 3 days so your experiment is consistent, because if you drink water with different ion contents it might differ.

3 days of BEER!!!!!!!

I have actually done that before.

[Enigm@]

I WILL DRINK  TURPENTINE FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT.

If I'm not dead, i'm either jesus incarnate, or too stupid to die.

DO IT!  I double dog dare you!

I was thinking that as well, but I can't corrupt LincK... not in that way at least.

[LiNcK]

I pretty much did all the tests already, I only have the milk, Orange juice & Energy Drink left (I forgot to write that one down, Im drinking monster)
Honestly I didnt feel any difference between the drinks, I didnt feel anything in my body besides wanting to drink something else :P

Tests results did very though, Ran 1 sec faster & 200m more on the bike while sprinting sprite for example ;D

Still need the hypothesis though, I have a Dutch exam on Tuesday, We have to learn 250 words & Their meanings, 100 mathaphores/sayings & Some REALLY hard grammar stuff.
I probz wont even finish in 1 day (Only learnt 30 words as of now) so yeah... FML with school :\

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

The results won't be much different, because it's not a complete diet change.

The energy drink one will be interesting
