Huffington Post: Anais Fournier, 14-Year-Old Girl, Dies After Drinking 2 Energy Drinks

Posted: 24 Mar 2012 09:05 AM PDT

A 14-year-old girl from Maryland died last December after downing two Monster energy drinks in a 24-hour-period, according to news reports, and the incident is stirring concern over the safety of the beverages for kids.

It should be noted that the girl, Anais Fournier, had a heart condition, called mitral valve prolapse -- which means that one of her heart valves has malfunctioned. After she drank two of the energy drinks -- which together contained 480 milligrams of caffeine -- she went into cardiac arrest a day later and died from cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity, TODAY reported.

"She was at the mall with her friends the night before, and had a 24-ounce energy drink," Fournier's mother, Wendy Crossland, told the Record Herald. "She drank another one less than 24 hours later, even though she knew I do not allow them because I know they are bad for you. She went into cardiac arrest three hours later at home."

Huffington Post: Math Anxiety Linked With Differences In Brain Functioning, Study Finds

Posted: 24 Mar 2012 09:08 AM PDT

Math anxiety is a real thing, a new brain imaging study by Stanford researchers has confirmed.

In a study in the journal Psychological Science, researchers found that there is increased activity in the brain region linked with fear in the brains of second and third graders with math anxiety. Because of the increased activity in the fear brain region, there was decreased activity in their brain regions linked with problem-solving.

The study included 46 students who had both low and high math anxiety -- meaning, they felt stress and anxiety when doing math problems. The students all had similar IQ levels, working memory, math and reading abilities and levels of general anxiety. The researchers had them fill out a questionnaire to analyze their level of math anxiety.
